Space is something modern life takes away from us — space to breathe, to create, to travel, and to be with the ones who matter. Mahindra brings that space back with the launch of the XEV 9S, India’s first truly electric-origin 7-seater SUV, engineered from the ground up on the advanced INGLO platform.
Introducing India’s Big New Electric — a bold, intelligently designed SUV built for families, explorers, creators, and everyday Indians whose ambitions are growing bigger every day. The XEV 9S is for those who want one essential thing from their vehicle: more room for life, more room for dreams, more room for possibilities.
Powered by MAIA — India’s fastest automotive intelligence system, and inspired by Mahindra’s expressive global design language, the XEV 9S unlocks an entirely new experience of electric mobility.
A Big New Electric for Big Lives
With a thoughtfully engineered three-row layout, expansive cabin, whisper-quiet drive, and a liberating sense of openness, the XEV 9S offers:
- Comfort without compromise
- Space without limitations
- Electric mobility without the smallness typically associated with EVs
The XEV 9S doesn’t just launch a new SUV — it launches a new kind of electric freedom.
R Velusamy, President – Automotive Business, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. and Managing Director, Mahindra Electric Automobile Ltd. said, “We have always believed that technology is meaningful only when it expands human possibility. The XEV 9S built on the INGLO electric origin platform does exactly that by creatin space – more than anyone else and gives a smooth and noise free ride . THE MAIA brain enables many of its high-tech features, making it the most advanced offering for its price.”
Nalinikanth Gollagunta, Chief Executive Officer – Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. and Executive Director, Mahindra Electric Automobile Ltd., said, “The future of Indian mobility will belong to brands that don’t just electrify vehicles, but reimagine categories. With the XEV 9S, we’re not just playing in the EV segment, we’re expanding it.

Pratap Bose, Chief Design & Creative Officer – Auto & Farm Sectors, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., said, “Designing the XEV 9S wasn’t about adding lines to a surface, it was about shaping a feeling. We wanted it to feel like stepping into a personal sanctuary, yet one that carries the pulse of modern India. Electric gave us the canvas; INGLO gave us the freedom to sculpt light, space, and comfort. The result is an SUV that wears its size with grace and its technology with humility. It’s expressive, it’s calm, and it’s unmistakably Mahindra – built for a nation whose aspirations are only getting bigger.”

Its athletic stance, clean lines, gloss finish, immersive tech-rich interiors and carefully balanced proportions scream ‘Premium SUV’ and evoke a sense of purpose and maximum space. The XEV 9S is silent sophistication on wheels.
