Mahindra has launched the all-new XEV 9S at an introductory price of ₹19.95 lakh (ex-showroom), marking India’s first truly mass-market three-row electric SUV. Built on the next-gen INGLO EV platform, the XEV 9S arrives with multiple battery choices, a feature-rich cabin and segment-first practicality aimed at large families.
Mahindra will begin test drives on December 5, 2025, while bookings open on January 14, 2026. Deliveries are set to start on January 23, 2026.
Bold Design and EV-First Styling
Inspired by the XEV 9e and XUV.e8 concept, the XEV 9S features a closed grille, connected LED DRLs, triangular LED headlamps and a strong, upright stance.

No Direct Rivals Yet
The XEV 9S stands alone as India’s only mass-market 7-seater electric SUV. While MPV-like EVs such as the BYD eMax 7 and upcoming Kia Carens EV exist, none offer the same SUV ethos. It partly overlaps with the Tata Harrier EV but that remains a two-row model.
With competitive pricing, multiple battery options and true family practicality, the Mahindra XEV 9S is poised to become one of India’s most influential electric SUVs yet.
