The Mahindra XEV 9e has arrived and
it’s unlike anything India has seen
before. Here’s our complete review.
Design
The XEV 9e is stunning. Mahindra has
created a genuinely world class design
that rivals European luxury EVs. The
flush door handles, aerodynamic body
and striking LED lights make it the
best looking Indian car ever made.
Performance
The XEV 9e produces 286bhp from its
dual motor setup making it the most
powerful Indian car ever. 0-100kmph
comes up in just 5.8 seconds — faster
than many European sports cars costing
three times the price.
Range
Mahindra claims 650km range on a
single charge making the XEV 9e one
of the longest range EVs available in
India. Real world range of 500-550km
is realistic making it perfect for
long highway drives.
Interior
Inside the XEV 9e feels genuinely
premium. Three screens dominate the
dashboard — a 12.3 inch driver display,
15.6 inch central touchscreen and a
passenger entertainment screen.
Panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats
and a 16 speaker Harman sound system
complete the luxury experience.
Price and Value
Starting at ₹21.90 lakh the XEV 9e
is extraordinary value. You get
supercar performance, 650km range and
genuine luxury at the price of a
mid-range petrol SUV.
Verdict
The Mahindra XEV 9e is India’s
greatest automotive achievement.
It proves India can build world class
electric vehicles that compete with
the best globally. If you are buying
an EV in 2026 this should be your
first choice.
