The future of electric cars in India is about to take a big leap forward. Mahindra has officially announced the launch of its new premium electric SUV — the Mahindra XEV 9S — which will be revealed on November 27, 2025.
This will be Mahindra’s most advanced electric vehicle yet. It is built on the company’s modern INGLO platform and comes with a spacious 7-seater layout, exciting new features, and top-level safety. The XEV 9S is expected to compete strongly in the growing premium electric SUV segment.
High-Tech Cabin: Screens, Sound & Comfort
Mahindra has packed the XEV 9S with next-generation features to make every ride special.
- Triple-Screen Dashboard: Just like the XUV.e9 concept, this SUV is expected to feature a wide dashboard display with three screens — one for the driver, one for infotainment, and one for the front passenger.
- Premium Sound System: A high-quality Harman Kardon setup (possibly with 16 speakers) for a great audio experience.
- Comfort Features: Sliding second-row seats for easier cabin access, powered driver seat with memory, and possibly ventilated seats with multi-zone climate control.
- Other Features: A large panoramic sunroof, Vision X augmented reality head-up display, electronic parking brake, auto hold, and more.
The XEV 9S aims to give both the driver and passengers a comfortable and connected experience.
Safety First: Built for Protection
Mahindra is focusing strongly on safety in the XEV 9S.
- Level 2+ ADAS: This includes features like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and a 360-degree camera.
- Airbags: The SUV is expected to come with seven airbags.
- Platform Safety: Built on the INGLO EV platform, it is designed to perform well in crash tests and protect the battery system.
These features will help the XEV 9S offer top-level safety, both in everyday driving and emergency situations.
