The XEV 9S showcases Mahindra's electric design language through a shut-off grille, L-shaped LED DRLs, vertically stacked projector headlamps, a full-width LED light bar, and gloss-black bumpers for an aerodynamic SUV stance. Its dimensions include 4,737 mm (186.5 in) length, 1,900 mm (74.8 in) width, 1,747 mm (68.8 in) height, and a 2,762 mm (108.7 in) wheelbase, with 205 mm (8.1 in) ground clearance (up to 222 mm (8.7 in) at the battery).

A tech-rich cabin highlights a triple 12.3-inch screen setup (driver display, infotainment, and passenger screen) powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 and MAIA software. Higher variants add luxury touches like cooled seats across rows, panoramic skyroof, upgrade to a Snapdragon 8295 processor, augmented-reality heads-up display, dual wireless charging, 65 W USB-C ports, multi-color ambient lighting, and a 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system with Dolby Atmos.

All variants include a high-strength body, 6-7 airbags, all-disc brakes, brake-by-wire, and electronic parking brake. Level 2+ ADAS (adaptive cruise, lane centering, blind-spot monitoring, emergency steering) uses five radars, 12 sensors, and a forward camera in top trims. Suspension features front Mahindra-iLINK struts and rear 5-link independent setup. [6]
Mahindra XEV 9S offers three battery pack options paired with rear-wheel-drive (RWD) electric motors and single-speed automatic transmissions.

AC charging takes 6-8 hours (7.2–11.2 kW); DC supports rapid top-ups via CCS-II port. All variants achieve 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in about 7 seconds, top speed of 202 km/h (126 mph), with drive modes including Range, Everyday, Race, Snow, and regenerative braking. [12]
