New Delhi: So, in the automobile industry, there has come one more teaser by Mahindra & Mahindra. The company has recently dropped another teaser for its upcoming XEV 9S, and this time around, by confirming some of the perfect details seen on the XUV.e8 concept unveiled just over three years ago. This SUV will be equipped with the stacked headlamp layout, ditching the familiar lighting pattern seen on the current ICE XUV 700, to differentiate itself from other brands. The boomerang-shaped LED DRL, the latest Twin Peaks logo, the shark fin antenna at the back and a portion of the tail lamps have been seen in the newest teaser.
Space for seven, Space for everything.
Make way for The Big New Electric XEV 9S – the 7-seater authentic SUV built on the INGLO platform.

However, Mahindra has continued to drip-feed cabin details, though only from the first two rows. The wide triple screen panel dominates the dashboard, matching the digital-heavy approach seen across the brand’s born electric offering, like the XEV 9e and BE 6. Mahindra is not showing the third row, which is where the real packaging puzzle lies. Fitting the functional third row without compromising space is no simple exercise, and the company appears in no hurry to reveal how it will have tackled that, and people all know the INGLO platform is modular in nature. Curiously, the rear section is far less mysterious; the tailgate lighting pattern and overall stance look very close to the XUV 700.
If we compare it to the BE 6, the XEV 9S seems taller and more upright in line with its role as a family-focused three-row EV. When it launches on 27th November, the XEV 9S will become Mahindra’s third-born electric SUV after the XEV 9e and BE 6. Given that all three models share the same architecture, the XEV 9S is expected to carry forward similar battery and motor outputs. Any of the deviations will likely stem from its added weight, which could marginally influence range and performance figures, and they still expect it to deliver over 500 km driving range on a single charge in real-world conditions. The equipment will comprise a panoramic sunroof, powered and ventilated seats with message and memory functions. The Mahindra XEV 9S will also be high on safety, as both the XEV 9e and BE 6 have been rated five stars. It will also get Level 2 ADAS functionalities like adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, blind spot detection and more.
