Mahindra XEV 9S Teased Again: Rear Entertainment Screens And Luxury 3‑Row EV Features Revealed
Mahindra has dropped another teaser for the upcoming XEV 9S, and interest in the brand’s first three‑row electric SUV is growing rapidly. Set to be unveiled on November 27, 2025 in Bengaluru, the XEV 9S is being positioned as a premium family EV with long‑distance capability and a heavy focus on in‑cabin comfort and technology.
Mahindra XEV 9S: Launch Timeline And Positioning
The XEV 9S marks Mahindra’s entry into the full‑size three‑row electric SUV space. It will sit above the brand’s existing EV lineup, aimed at customers who want practicality, long range and luxury without moving to a non‑Indian brand. This SUV will be one of Mahindra’s flagship EVs in 2025.
Exterior Design: Not Just An Electric XUV700
The XEV 9S avoids looking like an electrified XUV700. The front has a layered lighting setup with separate projectors, a full‑width LED bar and boomerang‑shaped signatures. A closed grille area and smoother surfacing give it a fresh electric‑SUV identity within the Mahindra range.
Interior Highlights: Triple Screens And Rear Entertainment
The cabin features a continuous triple‑screen layout stretching across the dashboard, similar to newer Mahindra EV design language. A light interior colour scheme, slim AC vents and a new two‑spoke steering wheel elevate the premium feel.
The latest teaser confirms rear entertainment through Mahindra’s BYOD system, which allows passengers to mount their own tablets or screens rather than relying on built‑in seat‑back displays.
Comfort And Practicality For Families
Second‑row seats get a reclining function and boss mode for extended comfort. A full panoramic glass roof enhances the cabin ambience. Rear AC vents, a centre armrest, multiple storage spaces, cupholders and both a conventional boot and a front frunk are confirmed.
Platform, Range And Expected Performance
The Mahindra XEV 9S is built on the INGLO skateboard platform, which also underpins the BE 6 and XEV 9e. The larger body and added mass of the three‑row layout may affect efficiency slightly, but Mahindra is targeting a real‑world driving range north of 500 km.
Features And Safety Expected
Mahindra is expected to offer a long equipment list, including:
- Level 2 ADAS
- Six airbags
- Ventilated and powered front seats with memory
- Wireless charging
- Connected car tech
- Powered tailgate
- Harman Kardon sound system
- Fully digital instrument cluster
Final Impression
The XEV 9S is shaping up to be one of the most feature‑rich made‑in‑India electric SUVs, blending family practicality with aggressive luxury tech. If Mahindra prices it aggressively, it could become the go‑to choice for buyers looking to switch to a large electric SUV without compromising on comfort, entertainment or long‑distance usability.
