Mahindra XEV 9e Pack Two or Pack Three Select? Where should you put your money

The Mahindra XEV 9e was launched back in November 2024 starting at ₹21.90 lakh, ex-showroom, for the base Pack One variant. Meanwhile, in January 2025, the carmaker announced the prices of the top variant, Pack Three, priced at ₹30.50 lakh, ex-showroom. Now though, Mahindra has revealed the full price list of the XEV 9e.

Unlike the Mahindra BE 6 which is available across five trim levels, the XEV 9e is offered across four trim levels - Pack One, Pack Two, Pack Three Select and Pack Three. The Pack Two and Pack Three Select have been priced at ₹24.90 lakh and ₹27.90 lakh, ex-showroom. The difference between the two variants is ₹3 lakh. While for that extra cash, the Pack Three Select does get some additional features but few of the core elements between both the variants remain common.

Both the variants of the XEV 9e are only available with the smaller 59 kWh battery pack. Interestingly, even the smaller battery pack is claimed to be capable of DC fast charging at a rate of up to 175 kW, allowing the battery to be charged from 20 per cent to 80 per cent in a claimed 20 minutes. The XEV 9e Pack Two and Pack Three Select get a claimed range of 542 km.

Meanwhile, the Mahindra XEV 9e with the smaller 59 kWh battery pack produces a maximum output of 230 bhp and 380 Nm of torque. The electric SUV continues to be a rear wheel drive machine and gets three driving modes - Range, Everyday, and Race. Additionally, there is a Boost mode and a One-pedal drive mode. While the core specs remain similar between the two variants, the feature list does vary. But does it justify the difference of ₹3 lakh?

Mahindra XEV 9e Pack Two: Features

The Mahindra XEV 9e Pack Two comes with several exterior features. It includes LED DRLs with a center signature lamp, sequential turn indicators, and a start-up lighting sequence.
