What engine and transmission options can the XUV.e9 have?

Although the exact electric powertrain details are yet to be revealed, it’s already known that the Mahindra XUV.e9 will be built on the INGLO platform, which can accommodate batteries ranging from 60 kWh to 80 kWh, having a claimed range of up to 500 km.

This platform can be adapted for both rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD) setups. As per Mahindra, it can also support past charging capabilities of up to 175 kW, with a 0-80 percent charging time of just 30 minutes.

The INGLO platform, Mahindra claims, has been built keeping a 5-star Global NCAP crash rating in mind. However, we will have to wait for the XUV.e9’s crash test to come to a conclusion.

In terms of safety, it is likely to have six airbags (as standard), an electronic stability program (ESP) and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). We expect it to get advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) tech such as lane-keep assist, forward-collision warning, and adaptive cruise control.

The Mahindra XUV.e9 will rival the upcoming Tata Harrier EV and Tata Safari EV.
