Electric cars are no longer the future — they’re the present. And Mahindra seems ready to take that seriously with the upcoming Mahindra XUV E9, one of the most awaited electric SUVs in the country. Slated for launch in 2025, the XUV E9 is part of Mahindra’s Born Electric lineup and has already grabbed attention with its design, tech, and road presence.
Fresh, Futuristic Design
The Mahindra XUV E9 brings a completely new design direction for Mahindra. It’s not just a converted ICE SUV — it’s been built from the ground up as an EV. The front features a full-width LED light bar, closed-off grille, and a sharp bumper design that gives it a bold, futuristic look.
From the side, the SUV looks coupe-like thanks to the sloping roofline, while the rear is clean and modern, again featuring a connected LED taillight bar. Flush door handles, aerodynamic wheels, and an overall upright stance make the E9 stand out from anything Mahindra has done before.
Spacious and Tech-Loaded Cabin
Inside, the Mahindra XUV E9 gets a triple-screen layout that runs across the entire width of the dashboard. You’ll find one screen for the instrument cluster, another for the infotainment system, and a dedicated passenger display — something we usually see in high-end EVs.
The interior is minimalistic yet premium, with ambient lighting, touch-sensitive AC controls, and sustainable materials used throughout the cabin. Space is generous, especially in the second row, and the boot space is expected to be ample too.
Powertrain and Range
While Mahindra hasn’t revealed the full powertrain details yet, the Mahindra XUV E9 will be based on the INGLO EV platform — a modular architecture designed specifically for electric vehicles. It’s likely to offer both single-motor and dual-motor (AWD) variants, with battery options ranging from 60 kWh to 80 kWh.
Expected range is between 450–500 km on a full charge, depending on the variant. Fast charging support will be standard, and the SUV should support 175 kW DC fast chargers, which could charge it from 0–80% in under 30 minutes.
Driving Experience and Features
The Mahindra XUV E9 is expected to deliver a smooth, silent drive, with instant torque and multiple drive modes for different conditions. Expect features like ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), 360-degree camera, connected car tech, over-the-air (OTA) updates, and more.
Ride quality and handling should also be improved thanks to the dedicated EV chassis and low center of gravity, making it feel stable and confident on highways and city roads alike.
Price and Final Thoughts
Mahindra is expected to price the Mahindra XUV E9 starting around ₹35 lakh (ex-showroom), which would place it in the premium EV SUV segment. It will compete with models like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, BYD Seal U, and the upcoming Tata Avinya.
In short, the Mahindra XUV E9 isn’t just another EV — it’s a statement. For buyers looking for a premium, tech-rich electric SUV with a unique design, this could be one of the most exciting launches of 2025.
