Mahindra XEV 9S: Design and interior
The XEV 9S retains the characteristic design language seen on the BE 6 and the XEV 9e, bringing a commanding road presence with an aggressive front fascia featuring connected LEDs. It introduces a split LED tail-lamp design instead of the connected treatment seen previously. The visual influence of the XUV700 remains evident, especially in the front profile and overall stance.
The SUV boasts an overall cabin volume of 3,941 litres, accompanied by a 527-litre boot and a 150-litre frunk, numbers that Mahindra claims are segment-leading. It features a sliding second row and reclining seats, alongside ventilated seating and a powered Boss Mode for enhanced rear passenger comfort. A panoramic sunroof is available straight from the base variant.
Stepping inside the cabin reveals a heavy emphasis on technology and passenger experience. The model debuts MAIA AI, Mahindra's new artificial intelligence system integrated across the infotainment and vehicle control ecosystem.
The dashboard is equipped with a large triple-screen setup accompanied by two BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) rear entertainment displays, a 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, and a VisionX augmented-reality head-up display for the driver. Other features include a 65W fast charging port, ambient interior lighting, and a full-length sky roof. The SUV also features the most advanced AQI air purifier system with VR-assisted LED monitoring.

Mahindra XEV 9S: Safety
In terms of safety and driver assistance, Mahindra equips the XEV 9S with 7 airbags as standard alongside Level-2+ ADAS capability, supported by the INGLO platform’s high-rigidity structure and optimised battery placement. The ADAS suite is complemented by 5 radars and 1 Vision Camera, and it further features Driver Drowsiness Detection.
The architecture also allows for a flat-floor layout to improve legroom across all three rows. Ground clearance for the battery stands at 9 mm, and vehicle height is rated at 1,745 mm.
Mahindra says the XEV 9S’ development was shaped directly via feedback from XEV 9e and BE 6 customers, with a focus on cabin space, luxury-level creature comforts, and a modern digital experience. The brand positions the model as a bridge between mainstream and luxury-segment electric SUVs.
