Mahindra & Mahindra is all set to expand its electric SUV lineup with the much-awaited XEV 9S, a true born-electric three-row SUV. Teased ahead of its grand global premiere on November 27, 2025, the XEV 9S promises to offer spaciousness, technology, and sustainable performance for Indian families seeking a premium eSUV experience.
Born-Electric Architecture: INGLO Platform
The Mahindra XEV 9S is built on the dedicated INGLO skateboard platform, the same architecture that underpins the XEV 9e and BE 6 models. This advanced, flat-floor platform ensures a flexible layout, increased wheelbase, and a roomy cabin with genuine three-row seating comfort.
Platform Highlights:
- Purpose-built electric architecture (not a conversion)
- Extended wheelbase for comfortable third-row seating
- Flat floor for ample legroom and cargo space
- Low center of gravity for superior ride stability and safety
Spacious Seven-Seater Layout
One of the standout elements of the Mahindra XEV 9S is its generous space and practical seven-seater configuration. Unlike the five-seat XEV 9e, the 9S utilizes the platform’s scalability to provide an extra row of seats without compromising comfort or design.
Interior Features:
- Flexible sliding second-row seats for easy third-row access
- Triple-screen dashboard setup (12.3-inch screens for infotainment, cluster, and passenger entertainment)
- Multi-zone climate control and adjustable ambient lighting
- Premium Harman Kardon audio system with Dolby Atmos (expected)
