Mahindra XEV 9e Poised to Get Range Extender Hybrid Engine

The homegrown UV maker, Mahindra is reportedly working on two hybrid engines - a series-parallel and a range extender. Both powertrains will use the existing 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine that currently powers the Mahindra XUV 3XO. The new series-parallel hybrid engine will power the XUV 3XO, while the range extenders will be offered on the XEV 9e and BE 6 SUVs.

XEV 9e key details

The Mahindra XEV 9e is based on the skateboard platform, called INGLO. This platform will require specific technical and design changes to integrate the ICE powertrain. The SUV’s hybrid set-up will use the 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder, turbo petrol engine, which will function as a generator to recharge the battery. The battery will power the electric motors to drive the wheels.

More Hybrid Cars Heading to India

Not just Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki is also developing a range-extender engine for its mass-market cars, including the Fronx, Baleno, Swift, and an upcoming small MPV. This setup will use the 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder, naturally-aspirated petrol engine, which also works as a generator to charge the battery.

KIa, Hyundai, MG Motor India and Volkswagen Group is also planning to launch hybrid cars in India. Kia will launch the next-gen Seltos and a new 7-seater SUV with a hybrid engine in India in 2026 and 2027, respectively. Similarly, Hyundai will also introduce the Palisade hybrid and the next-gen Creta hybrid.

XEV 9e Battery Specs

Mahindra XEV 9e is currently available in two battery packs - a 59kWh and a 79kWh. Both offered a rear-axle-mounted electric motor. The smaller battery pack version is claimed to offer a certified range of 542 km, while the 79kWh battery version has a range of 656km. The XEV 9e with a 79kWh battery is claimed to achieve 0-100kmph acceleration in just 6.8 seconds.
