For thousands of Indian families waiting for a powerful, premium, and future-ready electric SUV, Mahindra has delivered the Mahindra XEV 9S. With such a beautiful launch, you might recall that the excitement of bringing home a new car lies not just in the drive, but in the promise of what it brings — comfort, technology, safety, and a little bit of pride.
The Mahindra XEV 9S, the all-electric counterpart of the XUV700, has finally been launched in India at an introductory price of ₹19.95 lakh (ex-showroom). And what makes the launch even more refreshing is Mahindra’s customer-first approach — test drives begin early, from January 5, 2025, allowing buyers to truly experience the SUV before bookings open on January 14, 2026.
