Mahindra XEV 9e news

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

Carmakers like Maruti, Kia and Toyota debuted in Bharat NCAP, while Tata and Mahindra cars received the best crash safety ratings in the first 6 months of 2025

Besides multiple official updates, the main highlight of the week was the teaser of the first mass-market electric MPV, the Kia Carens Clavis EV

The 79 kWh battery pack in the Pack Two trim is priced at Rs 1.6 lakh more than the 59 kWh battery pack option for both EVs

Both the similarly priced RWD variants of the Tata Harrier EV and Mahindra XEV 9e offer comparable performance and features. Here’s the one that should make more sense for you

MG and Tata EVs have been the most trusted choices for Indian buyers in the previous fiscal year (FY 2024-25)

The Harrier EV and XEV 9e are the flagship EVs from the Indian carmakers and both have earned a 5-star safety rating in their respective BNCAP tests
