Electric SUV coupe to sit above XUV.e8 in brand’s lineup Interior gets a triple-screen layout Top variants to get 80 kWh battery pack with dual electric motors

Mahindra cars is currently busy developing the new XUV.e9 EV. Showcased as a concept earlier this year, the electric SUV coupe will be sharing the brand’s new INGLO architecture with the XUV.e8 SUV but will be positioned above it and launch later as well. Now, the latest spy shots have revealed the XUV.e9 being tested overseas. We take a closer look.

Mahindra XUV.e9: Caught Testing

Mahindra XUV.e9 While the test mule is covered in full camouflage, the spy shots have revealed a few details about the XUV.e9. The front end seems to get a full-width LED light bar and a closed-off grille, while the halogen headlights will be replaced by LED units in the production model. At the side, it gets a steeply raked roofline and flush-fitting door handles. The rear end features an integrated boot lid spoiler with the LED taillights and lightbar positioned just below it.

Moving inside, the Mahindra XUV.e9 interior has a similar layout to the XUV.e8. However, a big difference we noticed in the former is the triple-screen setup that dominates the entire dashboard. The spy shots also reveal a dual-spoke steering wheel, stubby gear knob, and two rotary dials that will likely control the drive modes and AWD modes. In terms of features, expect the ZUV.e9 to come loaded with them, highlights including Level 2 Autonomous Driving, HUD with augmented navigation, and vehicle-to-load function to power external power devices.

Mahindra XUV.e9: Powertrain Details

Mahindra has already confirmed the XUV.e9 will share the same powertrain with the XUV.e8. There will be two battery pack sizes offered with top-end variants getting an 80 kWh unit and also a dual electric motor setup for all-wheel-drive capabilities. The automaker claims that the larger battery pack should offer a range of around 450 km on the WLTP cycle.

Mahindra XUV.e9: Launch and Pricing

The Mahindra XUV.e9 will follow the XUV.e8, which is expected to arrive by late 2024. Upon launch, the XUV.e9 will sit above the latter in Mahindra’s lineup, with prices ranging somewhere around Rs 35 lakh (ex-showroom) - Rs 45 lakh (ex-showroom).
