A revolutionary E-SUV for the family

Mahindra has created ripples in the Indian electric car market with the launch of the BE 6 and the XEV 9e. While the BE 6 is a compact SUV coupe, the XEV 9e is the larger one. Here is how the XEV 9e weighs up.

Mahindra electric-origin SUVs have created quite a stir in the Indian electric car market. We have already told you how the Mahindra BE 6 performs and now it is the turn of the XEV 9e. So let's get on with it.

The Mahindra XEV 9e is a large electric SUV. It measures in at 4,789mm in length, is 1,907mm wide and stands tall at 1,694mm.

Much like its smaller sibling, the Mahindra XEV 9e too comes with a rather unique design. The front end is dominated by the large LED light panel which is an excellent visual.

The grille is absent but the section gets a grille like detail which looks cool. Under the bonnet resides a large frunk which can gobble up 150 litres. In profile, the Mahindra XEV 9e sure look massive. The 20-inch wheels look great and fill up the wheel wells with ease. The sweeping roof line is also a cool element. This was first seen many years back when Mahindra showcased a coupe SUV concept based on the XUV 500.

The door handles at the back have also been repositioned on the rear door next to then Cpillar to ensure a smooth shoulder line. The rear section feels massive and once again is dominated by the LED light panel. The electric tailgate rises to reveal a large and flat 663-litre boot. While the boot is large enough, the loading lip is a bit high and one will have to lift the luggage up.
