Auto news India - Mahindra Xev 9e news

The ICOTY 2026 Green Car Of The Year award was handed over to the Mahindra XEV 9e, while the Volkswagen Golf GTI has become the ICOTY 2026 Premium Car Of The Year

The contenders include a mix of mass-market and luxury offerings, including the new Hyundai Venue, Maruti Victoris, Volkswagen Golf GTI and Tata Harrier EV

A week packed with recalls, facelifts, tech upgrades, and EV milestones

This offer is applicable only for the first 5,000 eSUVs delivered before December 20, 2025 in this period

All the good bits of the XEV 9e will for sure make their way to the XEV 9S

Currently, Mahindra is only delivering the top two trims of the XEV 9e and BE 6 electric SUVs.

Instant torque, heavy battery load, and range anxiety? Fret not! Michelin’s specialised EV tyres deliver grip and confidence

The Pack One variant of the XEV 9e offers all good-to-have features like a triple screen setup, auto AC, and a rear parking camera

While most cars in the list offer max up to 64 colour ambient lighting, the Mahindra electric SUV twins, BE 6 and XEV 9e, come with an ambient lighting setup capable of displaying 16 million colours!

The maximum wait is for both the modern and tech-loaded Mahindra EVs, and for people staying in Mumbai

Currently, Mahindra has only three EVs on sale and none of them is readily available in any of the top 20 Indian cities in August 2025

Both EVs come with the same 79 kWh battery pack and a similar claimed range. But which makes the best use of the battery pack and delivers more real-world range? We find out

The Pack Two variant of the XEV 9e is the only variant to offer both the 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery options

Pack Two is the most affordable trim with the 79 kWh battery pack option in the variant lineup of both XEV 9e and BE 6

In addition to new EVs like the Carens Clavis EV and MG Cyberster, the bygone month saw a popular American electric carmaker debut in India
