Mahindra XEV 9S

The Mahindra XEV 9S is a 7-seater electric SUV built on Mahindra's purpose-designed INGLO skateboard platform, launched as the practical, family-friendly sibling to the coupé-styled XEV 9e. Its flat-floor cabin makes better use of interior space than comparable ICE-based SUVs, and the design leans upright and functional rather than sporty, with a triple-screen dashboard and a 150-litre front trunk.

Market Position
As the only 7-seater electric SUV in its segment right now, the XEV 9S has no direct like-for-like rival, though it's often cross-shopped against electric SUVs such as the Tata Harrier EV and electric MPVs like the Kia Carens Clavis EV and BYD eMax7. V3Cars
