Mahindra XEV 9e: Design

The Mahindra XEV 9e boasts a coupe SUV design, featuring sharp inverted triangular ‘L’ LED headlamps as well as a sleek LED daytime running light strip across the width of the vehicle. It has a flowing coupe-esque roofline, and slim LED taillights at the back combine with the dynamic character lines and illuminated logo to give it a modern, energetic appearance.

The XEV 9e has a length of 4,790 mm and a width of 1,905 mm with a height of 1,690 mm, longer than the XUV700. The wheelbase of the vehicle is 2,775 mm, too, so there is more gap between the wheels than on the XUV700. The vehicle has a ground clearance of 207 mm along with an accommodating boot space of 665 litres and a 150-litre frunk.

Mahindra XEV 9e: Features

On the inside, the Mahindra XEV 9e has a triple-screen setup that occupies a large part of the dashboard and gives the cabin a premium vibe. This setup combines three 12.3-inch displays powered by Mahindra’s Adrenox software. It includes the touchscreen infotainment system and driver’s display.

Mahindra XEV 9e: Powertrain and battery

While the set of features and design differ between the BE 6e and the XEV 9e, the powertrain remains the same between the two. The Mahindra INGLO architecture supports two different battery pack options, which are 59 kWh and 79 kWh units. These lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery packs. Just like the BE 6e, the XEV 9e will also be available with the 59 kWh battery pack initially.
