Mahindra XEV 9S World Premiere Confirmed: A 7-Seater EV Built on INGLO Platform
Mahindra will unveil the XEV 9S on November 27, 2025, its first born-electric 7-seater SUV on the INGLO platform, offering a spacious cabin and an expected range of over 500 km.
Mahindra is gearing up to make a bold move in the EV space with the global debut of the XEV 9S on November 27, 2025. The unveiling will take place during the brand’s ‘Scream Electric’ event in Bengaluru, marking one year of Mahindra’s INGLO platform. The XEV 9S will be the company’s first authentic 7-seater born-electric SUV, designed from the ground up for electric mobility.
Design and Platform
The XEV 9S is based on Mahindra’s dedicated INGLO skateboard architecture, a platform known for its modular design and flexibility. This setup allows a flat-floor layout, creating more cabin space and improving passenger comfort. The low centre of gravity provided by the underfloor battery enhances both ride quality and stability.
Unlike re-engineered ICE models, the XEV 9S is purpose-built as a born-electric SUV. It also features sliding second-row seats for better legroom and interior flexibility, reflecting Mahindra’s focus on comfort for larger families.
Expected Powertrain and Range
Although Mahindra hasn’t revealed detailed specifications yet, the XEV 9S is expected to share its powertrain options with the XEV 9e. The 9e currently offers two battery choices – a 59 kWh pack with a 542 km range and a 79 kWh unit with up to 656 km on a single charge. The XEV 9S may offer similar or slightly enhanced performance, maintaining Mahindra’s promise of combining power, presence, and pure electric performance.
Interior and Features
Inside, the XEV 9S will focus on versatility and comfort. With a proper seven-seater layout, Mahindra aims to deliver first-class comfort across all rows. The cabin is expected to feature premium materials, advanced infotainment, and smart connectivity options.
Practical touches like adjustable second-row seats, generous legroom, and a panoramic design language will appeal to urban families looking for space and modernity.
Launch and Market Positioning
The XEV 9S will make its world premiere on November 27, 2025, in Bengaluru. Positioned above the XEV 9e, it will serve as Mahindra’s flagship electric SUV. Following the BE 6 and XEV 9e, this model expands the brand’s all-electric lineup.
Once launched, it will compete with upcoming models like the Tata Harrier EV and MG Cloud EV, targeting the premium 7-seater electric SUV segment.
Conclusion
The Mahindra XEV 9S represents a significant step forward in India’s electric vehicle evolution. Built on a dedicated electric platform and designed for larger families, it promises a mix of performance, practicality, and presence. With its unveiling set for November 27, the XEV 9S could set a new benchmark for homegrown electric SUVs.
