New Delhi: Mahindra has officially unveiled its most-awaited and anticipated Mahindra XEV 9S in India, with an introductory price of Rs 19.95 lakh ex-showroom. Mahindra XEV 9S is marked as India’s first authentic electric origin 7-seater SUV with three rows. The model is built on Mahindra’s INGLO platform, and it is priced Rs 1.95 lakh lower than the XEV 9e, despite sharing the same architecture. Test drives will begin on December 5, with the bookings opening on January 14, 2026, and deliveries scheduled to start from January 23, 2026. The company claims that the XEV 9S incurs a cost of only Rs 1.2 per km and a maintenance cost of 40 paise per km.
The Mahindra XEV 9S borrows cues from the XEV 9e and the XUV.e8 concept showcased in 2022, adopting a clean visual appeal. Mahindra’s Heartcore design philosophy is reflected in its upright stance and sporty proportions. It sports a closed grille, connected LED DRLs and triangular LED headlamps that emphasise its electric identity. A long bonnet and muscular arches add to its road presence. It comes in six colour options: Desert Myst, Everest White, Midnight Black, Nebula Blue, Ruby Velvet, and Stealth Black.
