    Mahindra XEV 9S Teased Again – Features, Highlights Partially Revealed

    by

    Mahindra XEV 9S Teased AgainWhile BE 6 and XEV 9e were absolute feats on their own, there is a new Mahindra Origin SUV making a lot of noise. This is an extension of Mahindra’s XEV 9 family and is named XEV 9S. It will be the brand’s first 7-seater Electric Origin SUV and first one in the Born Electric lineup to pack dual motor AWD layout. Let’s take a closer look at the new teaser.
    Mahindra XEV 9S Teased Again
    XUV700 was a major milestone for the brand in its tech-forward journey. The company has not looked back since. Going forward, we saw Mahindra building on its equipment and pushing the tech envelope further and further. Soon to launch XEV 9S will bear the overall silhouette of XUV700, but is positioned on the born electric INGLO platform.
    Mahindra XEV 9S Teased
    Mahindra XEV 9S electric 7S SUV will be launched in India at the grand stage of the company’s Scram Electric event scheduled on 26th and 27th November, 2025 in Bengaluru. The launch of Mahindra XEV 9S will mark one successful sales year for its BE 6 and XEV 9e dynamic duo which went on sale on 26th November 2024 in Chennai.
    Mahindra XEV 9S Teased
    XEV 9S will be the third offering in Mahindra’s Electric Origin SUV lineup and the first one to offer a 3-row seating layout with a total seating capacity of 7. There might be a 6-seater version on offer, with captain chairs in 2nd row. It will share most of its silhouette and rear design with XUV700 ICE SUV and the fascia with XEV 9e.
    Mahindra XEV 9S Teased
    What to expect?
    We will see a massive LED DRL signature engulfing a closed-off grille. Large vertically arranged LED projector headlights strike an imposing look. There will be no sloping roofline on XEV 9S like there was on XEV 9e Coupe SUV, so as to carve out headroom for third-row occupants. By folding 3rd row seats, there will be a cavernous boot and then a usable frunk.
    Mahindra XEV 9S Teased
    On the inside of XEV 9S, it is the usual Mahindra Origin SUV affair. Like XUV 9e, XEV 9S also gets a triple screen dashboard with three 12.3-inch displays. These screens get a tonne of computing power, a plethora of features and a host of connected tech. The illuminated logo on new steering, dual-zone climate control, powered and ventilated front seats, memory function for driver’s seat, AC vents for all occupants, fancy 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system and digital key are some of the anticipated features.
    Mahindra XEV 9S Teased
    Notably, Mahindra XEV 9S will become the first Electric Origin SUV from the brand to feature a panoramic sunroof. BE 6 and XEV 9e come with a glass roof. Also, Mahindra XEV 9S is likely to become the first Mahindra Electric Origin SUVs to feature a dual-motor AWD layout with a lot of power and a lot of torque. More details will be revealed in subsequent teasers.

      Mahindra XEV 9S Electric 7S SUV Teased Before 27th November Launch

      by

      Mahindra XEV 9S Electric 7S SUVThe grand stage of Mahindra Auto’s upcoming ‘Scream Electric’ event in Bengaluru will bear witness to the launch of India’s first 7-seater electric mainstream SUV. This move comes after just one year of the launch of Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e, as part of an aggressive product portfolio expansion strategy.
      Mahindra XEV 9S
      Scream Electric event is scheduled for 27th November, 2025 and is happening in Bengaluru. Ahead of that, Mahindra has just teased their upcoming 7S electric SUV and has officially revealed the name. No, it is not XEV 7e, but will be called XEV 9S instead. Let’s take a closer look at other details.
      Mahindra XEV 9S Electric 7S SUV
      Mahindra XEV 9S Electric 7S SUV Teased
      It has been close to a year since the historic launch of Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e in the Indian market. These SUVs have garnered interest from the country’s SUV buyers unlike any other. These SUVs were launched on 26th November, 2024 in Chennai and exactly a year later, Mahindra is expanding its Electric Origin SUV lineup to incorporate XEV 9S.
      Mahindra XEV 9S Electric 7S SUV
      Unlike XEV 9e which is a coupe design, XEV 9S will be a more conventional electric SUV without a sloping roof. This is to accommodate third-row seating to take the total seating capacity to 7. There could be a 6S variant with XEV 9S with captain chairs in second row to expand its appeal further.
      Mahindra XEV 9S Dashboard
      Mahindra is calling XEV 9S ‘first authentic 7-seater electric SUV’. It will be built on the same INGLO platform as BE 6 and XEV 9e. Unlike many EVs sold in India, XEV 9S and all other INGLO based models, will be born electric and not an adapted EV. With Mahindra XEV 9S, the company is promising Power, Presence and Pure Electric Performance.
      Mahindra XEV 9S
      What to expect?
      This vehicle has been spied testing multiple times and it is expected to bear an overall similar silhouette as XUV700 and a similar striking fascia as XEV 9e. Rear is likely to be reminiscent of XUV700. Interiors along with the triple 12.3-inch screen dashboard has been spied with test mules along with new-age steering wheel with illuminated logo and the likes.

      Mahindra XEV 9S
      Digital Key feature, panoramic sunroof, sophisticated ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control, dedicated 2nd and 3rd row AC vents, a premium 1,600W 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system are among the expected features. Same 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery packs are likely to be carried over, but XEV 9S is expected to pack a dual-motor AWD system for more performance and some off-road capability. More details will be revealed on 27th November. More

      Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e: Ready to Be Your Primary SUV

      by

      Mahindra XEV 9e and BE 6For years, electric vehicles in India have largely been seen as second cars – ideal for short commutes, but not trusted for long highway journeys or family road trips. Mahindra is out to change that perception with the upcoming BE 6 and XEV 9e, built on its advanced INGLO platform. These new-age SUVs promise the range, space, performance, and value to confidently replace petrol/diesel vehicles as your primary car.
      No More Range Anxiety
      With a certified range of up to 683 km (500+ km real-world range from 79 kWh and 400+ km real-world range from 59 kWh), these EVs can handle intercity drives with ease. Thanks to 175 kW DC fast charging, the battery can go from 20% to 80% in just 20 minutes—less than the time it takes for a coffee break. Together, this makes long road trips practical and stress-free.

      Everyday Practicality for Families
      The flat-floor architecture of the INGLO platform, combined with a long wheelbase, offers more cabin space than comparable ICE SUVs. Add to that a usable frunk plus a large boot, and you get all the luggage room you need for holidays. Ride comfort is ensured by a 5-link independent rear suspension with frequency-selective dampers, tuned for Indian road conditions.
      Performance Without Compromise
      The BE 6 and XEV 9e are no compromise machines. With up to 282 bhp and 380 Nm torque, they sprint from 0–100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds and can touch speeds of 200+ km/h. Unlike most front-wheel-drive ICE rivals, these EVs offer rear-wheel-drive dynamics, making every drive more engaging.

      Smarter, Safer, Better Value
      Inside, you get a triple-screen cockpit, a 16-speaker 1400W audio system, self-parking, and Level 2+ ADAS, putting these SUVs at the cutting edge of technology. Ownership costs are lower too, thanks to:
      – EV subsidies & road tax exemptions (worth ~ Rs 3 lakh in many states)– Lower running costs at just Rs 1.1/km (home charging) compared to ~ Rs 8.9/km for petrol/diesel SUVs– Lower maintenance at Rs 0.4/km vs. Rs 0.8/km for ICE rivals
      Over 5 years, the BE 6 offers an estimated Rs 12.63 lakh advantage and the XEV 9e up to Rs 13.47 lakh, making them more affordable long-term than ICE SUVs.
      Why They Can Be Your Only Car
      Whether it’s space, long-distance capability, daily convenience, or performance thrills, the Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e check every box. Backed by massive cost savings, modern tech, and environmental benefits, these SUVs prove that EVs are no longer just city commuters—they are ready to be the primary SUV in your household. More

      This achievement reflects not just numbers, but a shift in consumer confidence. With their bold design, powerful performance, and 500+ km of real-world driving range, the BE 6 and XEV 9e are being embraced as primary SUVs by Indian families, not just as secondary city commuters.
      9.3 crore kilometres on Indian roads
      Changing Perceptions About EVs
      Traditionally, EVs in India were considered suitable for short commutes but not trusted for long drives. The BE 6 and XEV 9e aim to change this perception. Built on Mahindra’s advanced INGLO platform, both SUVs combine long range, fast charging, and family-friendly practicality, giving buyers confidence to choose them as their main car.
      The certified range extends up to 683 km, with real-world driving comfortably above 500 km. DC fast charging technology allows the battery to charge from 20% to 80% in just 20 minutes, making long highway journeys practical and stress-free.
      New Mahindra BE 6
      Everyday Family Practicality
      The INGLO platform’s flat-floor architecture and long wheelbase ensure spacious interiors, complemented by a large boot and frunk for added practicality. A 5-link independent rear suspension with frequency-selective dampers has been tuned for Indian roads, enhancing ride comfort for families on daily commutes and road trips alike.
      Performance and Driving Dynamics
      Mahindra hasn’t compromised on performance either. Delivering up to 282 bhp and 380 Nm torque, these eSUVs can sprint from 0–100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds, with a top speed of over 200 km/h. Rear-wheel-drive dynamics, uncommon in ICE SUVs in this segment, add to the engaging driving experience.
      Tech and Value Proposition
      The BE 6 and XEV 9e also stand out on technology and cost savings. Highlights include a triple-screen cockpit, a 16-speaker 1400W audio system, self-parking, and Level 2+ ADAS features. Lower running costs – Rs 1.1/km versus nearly Rs 9/km for petrol/diesel SUVs – and lower maintenance strengthen their value proposition.
      Over five years, Mahindra estimates savings of Rs 12.63 lakh for BE 6 owners and Rs 13.47 lakh for XEV 9e owners compared to ICE SUVs. Buyers also benefit from state subsidies, tax deductions of up to Rs 1.5 lakh on EV loans, and road tax exemptions in several states.
      Leading India’s EV SUV Shift
      With 20,000 units already sold, Mahindra’s BE 6 and XEV 9e are proving that Indian buyers are ready to embrace EVs as their first car, not just a second one. Spacious, practical, powerful, and cost-effective, they are redefining the SUV landscape and marking a turning point for EV adoption in India. More

      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition Spotted On Mumbai Roads Before Delivery Starts

      by

      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition Spotted On Mumbai RoadsDeliveries of Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition will commence from 20th September, which is also celebrated as the International Batman Day
      Mahindra’s born-electric INGLO platform has spawned impressive products such as the BE 6 and XEV 9e. Building on the growing popularity, Mahindra had recently introduced the BE 6 Batman Edition. It is the world’s first commercially available Batman-inspired SUV. Ahead of commencement of deliveries, BE 6 Batman Edition has been spotted in Mumbai. Let’s check out the details.
      BE 6 Batman Edition Spotted
      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition is fully sold out. Mahindra started with 300 units and later increased to 999 units based on heavy demand. Even then, all units were booked in just 135 seconds. Mahindra has stated that more such special editions of other SUVs could be launched in the future. Deliveries start on September 20th and ahead of that a BE 6 Batman Edition can be seen trundling down Mumbai roads in HAVOC VLOGS’ video.
      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition Spotted On Mumbai Roads
      It will be even more exciting to watch the BE 6 Batman Edition gliding through deserted streets in the dead of night. As the matte-black bodywork blends with the surrounding darkness, the SUV’s sharp lighting elements will ensure a powerful presence. The large 20-inch alloy wheels further bring the experience closer to that of the Batmobile.
      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition Spotted On Mumbai Roads
      Streaks of light in the environment will highlight special features such as the gold-painted suspension and brake callipers. Inspired by the Dark Knight Trilogy, the BE 6 Batman Edition also has the Bat emblem on the hub caps, front quarter panels, rear bumper, windows and rear windshield. The SUV has an Infinity Roof with The Dark Knight Trilogy Bat emblem. Another key highlight is Carpet lamps with The Dark Knight Trilogy Bat emblem logo projection.
      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition
      Exclusive Batman theme
      Mahindra BE 6 has a race-inspired and gamified cockpit, which transforms into something more exciting with the special enhancements of the Batman Edition. There’s liberal use of golden accents such as the brushed gold halo around the driver cockpit and the brushed Alchemy Gold Batman Edition plaque on the dashboard with numbering. Similar golden treatment can also be seen on the steering wheel, in-touch controller, electronic parking brake and custom key fob.
      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition Launched
      Dark Knight Trilogy Bat emblem logo can be seen on the Boost button, seat headrests, interior labels and seat stitching. There’s pinstripe graphic and Batman branding across the passenger dashboard panel. Also, race car inspired open straps with Batman Edition branding. Other highlights include charcoal leather instrument panel and suede and leather upholstery with gold sepia accent stitching.
      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition
      Performance
      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition is based on the top-spec Pack Three trim. It utilizes a 79-kWh battery pack, offering a certified range of 683 km (MIDC P1 + P2). The electric motor generates 210 kW / 285 PS and 380 Nm of torque. The SUV has an advanced regen system with 4 levels, which helps optimize range. BE 6 Pack Three can achieve full charge in 8 hours when using an 11.2 kW AC charger. With a DC 180 kW 400A charger input, 20% to 80% can be achieved in just 20 minutes.
      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition Launched
      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition is undeniably cool, but what about practicality? Seeing that Batmobile-esque ride in your driveway every day might start to feel like you’re stuck in a never-ending Batman marathon. Even the Caped Crusader himself only rolls out the Batmobile for the big chase scenes, not for grabbing coffee or dropping off dry cleaning.
      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition
      While heavy traffic can slow down even the fastest cars, BE 6 does reveal its agile character whenever there’s room to manoeuvre. The SUV is quick to change lanes (when available) and race ahead at a fast pace. With the Satin Black colour of BE 6 Batman Edition, the agile manoeuvres seem a lot more pronounced and engrossing. Quite similar to the way the Batmobile is depicted in Batman movies.
      Can BE 6 Batman Edition owners handle the daily dose of Dark Knight drama without craving a break from all that brooding intensity? Only time will tell if they’ll stay forever enamoured or start dreaming of a less… bat-tastic commute. More

      Mahindra BE 6, XEV 9e Getting Ready For Europe Debut – NU_IQ SUVs To Meet Euro NCAP Safety

      by

      New Mahindra BE 6One of the important European markets for Mahindra EVs can be UK, which has a free trade agreement with India
      Mahindra has seen phenomenal success with its new-gen electric cars – BE 6 and XEV 9e. Recently launched BE 6 Batman Edition was sold out in just 135 seconds, creating a new record. After the domestic success, Mahindra is now looking to introduce its EVs across European markets. Let’s check out the details.
      Mahindra EV export plans for Europe
      It is worth mentioning that Mahindra already has a global presence. Overseas markets covered include Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, South Africa, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Nepal. The BE 6 and XEV 9e were recently launched in Nepal. European markets will be harder to penetrate, given the dominance of established European brands alongside rising Chinese competitors.
      Mahindra XEV 9e
      However, Mahindra has some advantages too such as the free trade agreement (FTA) with the United Kingdom. Also, the company already has a design studio in the UK. These factors will play a key role in helping Mahindra to launch its EVs in the UK and other European countries. A free trade agreement with Europe can further reduce complexities and costs. However, nothing has been finalized as yet.
      It is reported that Mahindra has already set up a dedicated team to lead the Europe export project. However, exact details are not available. It is possible that specific variants of BE 6 and XEV 9e could be introduced in the UK. There could even be heavily tweaked versions or distinctive body styles, even though the INGLO platform will be retained.
      Mahindra Vision SXT concept based on NU_IQ platform
      Europe can see significant demand for EVs in the future, as nations aim to reduce emissions. The European Union has set the target of zero emissions by 2035, applicable for all new cars and vans. Similarly, the United Kingdom aims to have EVs contribute 80% of the overall car sales in the country. Chinese carmakers like BYD, MG Motor, Leapmotor and Haval are already attracting UK customers with advanced, yet competitively priced offerings. Something similar is possible with Mahindra’s new-gen electric cars.
      More traction with NU_IQ SUVs
      Mahindra’s SUVs built on the advanced NU_IQ platform could unlock even greater export potential. SUVs derived from this platform will target local as well as global C-segment SUV markets. A multi-energy platform, NU_IQ supports various powertrains including ICE, hybrid and electric. The company has already stated that NU_IQ meets the safety requirements of Euro NCAP, Australian NCAP and Bharat NCAP.
      With the NU_IQ platform, Mahindra can access both ICE and EV segments in Europe. Starting point will be the UK, which currently seems the most viable option. Other European markets can be explored later. Regions like Eastern Europe present strong opportunities, owing to the large segment of price-sensitive consumers. Mahindra could introduce the necessary tweaks in styling and equipment list based on local preferences.
