Mahindra XUV e9: Design Details
The upcoming XUV.e9 was recently spotted on the Salem highway in Tamil Nadu, appearing to be in near-production form. In the spy shot, the car's front fascia with lighting setup is visible despite being hidden under camouflage. The front fascia of the EV reveals connected lighting elements on the bonnet side, resembling those seen on the Tata Nexon EV, featuring twin-edge boomerang-shaped LED DRLs.
Although the grille design remains a mystery, the presence of a radar module for ADAS in the lower bumper hints at its modern tech features. The headlights appear to be vertically arranged, with a subtly clamshell-designed bonnet, and sleek side profiles with rear door handles on the C-pillars.
Its smooth, sloping line towards the rear gives it a coupe vibe, complemented by a connected LED taillight in a C-style spanning from left to right downward. It will also come with a new set of alloy wheel designs.
