Mahindra XEV 9S: Design

Mahindra XEV 9S adopts the new design language we’ve seen on recent Mahindra EVs. You can draw design parallels with the XEV 9e very easily, and yet the shape is similar to the XUV 700.

• Inspiration from the XEV 9e shines bright at the front, quite literally.

• The striking L-shaped connected LED DRLs, the triangular cluster for the LED headlights, the closed-off grille and the illuminated Mahindra logo are all very similar styling cues to the XEV 9e.

• The side profile of the XEV 9S resembles the XUV700 in shape and form, but with EV-specific elements like the aero-styled 18-inch alloy wheels.

• The rear too is very similar to the XUV700. The LED tail lights have been tweaked to look a bit more sharper.

The bumper has had a slight makeover, but the overall design is all very familiar.

Mahindra XEV 9S is available in seven colour options: Stealth Black, Ruby Velvet, Nebula Blue, Midnight Black, Desert Myst, Everest White. You can take a closer look at each colour here.

Mahindra XEV 9S: Interior Or Living Room?

The cabin of the Mahindra XEV 9S takes the same approach as the XEV 9e. It builds on the dashboard of the standard XUV700, plonks a single-piece triple screen setup that takes up the entire real estate, and makes some small tweaks to the design here and there.

• Surprisingly, Mahindra has offered the three-screen setup as standard in the XEV 9S.

• The light black and black and white cabin theme, along with white seat upholstery, looks great and feels spacious, but will be tough to maintain.

• The two-spoke steering wheel is exactly the same as the XEV 9e. Gets physical buttons that look like a touch-sensitive control.

• Sadly, all the AC controls are part of the screen itself, and there’s no dedicated control panel for it.

• It features an openable panoramic sunroof (also standard), which makes the cabin feel even more airy.

Mahindra XEV 9S: Space And Boot

With the slide and recline function in the second row, the XEV 9S offers you versatile seating. If there’s nobody in the third row, you can liberate enough space for a 6-foot-tall person to sit comfortably behind their own driving position.

Sitting adults in the third row won’t be the most comfortable experience, and it is best reserved for small kids or pets in the family.

As far as the boot is concerned, you get 527 litres of boot space with the third row folded. There’s also a 150-litre frunk under the bonnet of the car, which can be used to keep small bags or overnighters.
