2025 Mahindra XEV 9e marks a bold new chapter in Mahindra’s electrification journey, showcasing the brand’s futuristic design philosophy, next-gen technology, and a clear commitment toward sustainable mobility. Unveiled under Mahindra’s Born Electric lineup, the XEV 9e blends sharp aesthetics with practical performance, making it a serious contender in the evolving electric SUV segment in India.
Bold Design Language
The 2025 Mahindra XEV 9e is based on Mahindra’s new INGLO (IN = India, GLO = Global) platform and features a futuristic design aesthetic with smooth aerodynamic curves, LED light bars, and a high-tech front fascia. It adopts a coupe-style roofline, flush door handles, and a sleek silhouette that enhances its road presence. The prominent stance is balanced with sculpted panels and stylish dual-tone alloy wheels, which give it a concept-car-like appeal, now brought to life for the Indian market.
The rear features a continuous LED taillight signature and bold “XEV” branding, making it look unlike any Mahindra we’ve seen before. With its aggressive yet clean design, the XEV 9e truly stands out from the crowd.
Electric Powertrain and Performance
While Mahindra hasn’t officially revealed exact powertrain specifications, the 2025 Mahindra XEV 9e is expected to come with dual motor AWD (All-Wheel Drive) setup, delivering close to 285 PS of power and around 535 Nm of torque. The expected 0-100 km/h time is under 6 seconds, which places it in the performance EV category.
The SUV is likely to feature two battery pack options: 60 kWh and 80 kWh, providing a range of 400 to 500 kilometers on a single charge (depending on driving conditions and configuration). Fast-charging capabilities, possibly 175 kW DC fast charging support, will allow up to 80% charge in under 30 minutes.
Tech-First Interior
Step inside the 2025 Mahindra XEV 9e, and you’re greeted by a high-tech, premium cabin built around the digital lifestyle. It is expected to feature:
- A panoramic triple-screen dashboard: including instrument cluster, infotainment, and co-driver display
- Next-gen AdrenoX OS with over-the-air updates
- Customizable ambient lighting

- Augmented reality navigation
The infotainment system will offer 5G connectivity, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Alexa integration, and possibly even support for gaming features while charging.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Safety is one of Mahindra’s core focuses for its electric lineup. The XEV 9e is expected to offer:
- Level 2+ Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
- 7 airbags
- 360-degree camera with AI-based object detection

The INGLO platform is engineered to meet 5-star crash safety ratings, with enhanced torsional rigidity and reinforced battery protection.
Expected Price and Launch Timeline
The expected price of the Mahindra XEV 9e is between ₹21 lakh to ₹27 lakh (ex-showroom) depending on the variant and battery option. This positions it competitively against models like the Tata Harrier EV, Hyundai Creta EV, and MG ZS EV.
The official launch is expected by mid-2025, with bookings opening shortly after the production-ready model is revealed.
Sustainability and Future Outlook
The Mahindra XEV 9e represents the brand’s push towards carbon neutrality and aligns with global efforts to reduce emissions. The vehicle will be manufactured at Mahindra’s upcoming EV plant in Pune, which is built around renewable energy use and sustainable production practices.
With its sleek, futuristic design, high-performance electric drivetrain, and feature-rich interior, the XEV 9e is more than just a vehicle – it’s a glimpse into Mahindra’s electric future.
Conclusion
