Hi everyone, Hope you’re doing great. Today, let’s dive into one of Mahindra’s most groundbreaking launches: the all-electric XUV.e9, also known as the XEV9E. Alongside it, Mahindra also revealed the BE.05 (B6E). But today, we’re focusing on the car that made the entire automotive media sit up — the XEV9E. Why all the hype? Because of this design, this tech, and this kind of innovation, we’ve only seen in concept cars till now. But Mahindra, an Indian company, has not only made it real, they’ve made it beautifully futuristic, bold, and proudly desi.
Design That Turns Heads
The XEV9E’s design feels like it’s straight from 2030. There’s no front grille — being fully electric, it doesn’t need one. Instead, you get a sleek LED light bar DRL running the width of the vehicle, vertically stacked headlamps, and an illuminated infinity Mahindra logo, which replaces the traditional badge. From the side, it gets a coupe-style silhouette, giving it a sportier, premium stance. Broad wheel cladding, flowing body lines, and Inglot platform badging complete its cutting-edge look.
Battery Options with a Lifetime Warranty
This is where Mahindra has changed the game: lifetime battery warranty. In an era where electric car buyers worry most about battery life after 8 years or 1.6 lakh kilometres, Mahindra is saying — “don’t worry for life.”
You get two battery pack options:
- 59 kWh – Offers a practical range of around 350 km
- 79 kWh – Goes up to 450–500 km range
Performance differs accordingly:
- 59 kWh: 228 bhp
- 79 kWh: 282 bhp
Both variants deliver 380 Nm torque, and 0–100 km/h comes in just 6.8 seconds, thanks to the rear-wheel-drive layout.
Variant Breakdown
The XEV9E will come in four variants:
- Pack 1 (Base)
- Pack 2
- Pack 3 Select
- Pack 3 (Top-end) – Currently the only variant on display/test drives
The top variant (Pack 3) is priced around ₹30 lakh ex-showroom, and it comes loaded with the latest tech and safety features.
Tech, Interiors & Digital Experience
Step inside and it feels like a luxury cockpit.
You get three integrated screens:
- Driver Display – Shows speed, battery status, TPMS, and more
- Infotainment Touchscreen – With wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, climate control, and all car settings
- Passenger Display – For media and entertainment
Other interior highlights:
- Harman Kardon sound system
- Memory seats (3 presets)
- Digital key (via NFC on your phone)
- Sleek, piano-black door handles
- Minimal physical buttons – everything is touch-based
And yes, there’s a remote parking feature using the key or phone – helpful for tight parking spots.
Built on a Dedicated EV Platform
Unlike some electric cars, which are just adaptations of petrol/diesel platforms, the XEV9E is built on an all-new INGLO platform — India’s first of its kind. This means better space, better handling, and future-ready compatibility for connected and autonomous tech.
Final Thoughts
The Mahindra XEV9E (XUV.e9) is more than just an electric SUV. It’s a statement that India can not only match the world’s top carmakers in EV design and engineering, but even leap ahead. With stunning looks, smart tech, powerful battery options, and a lifetime battery warranty, it’s a strong contender in the premium electric segment. If you’re considering an EV that looks futuristic, performs brilliantly, and is made with Indian innovation, the XEV9E is worth the spotlight.
