Mahindra adds six-seat XEV 9S from Rs 25.25 lakh

Mahindra has added a captain-seat version of the XEV 9S, giving the electric SUV a six-seat layout from Rs 25.25 lakh ex-showroom.

Starting price
Rs 25.25 lakh
Battery choices
70kWh and 79kWh
Top claimed range
679km

What Happened

The six-seat XEV 9S is available in three trims. The 70kWh Pack Two Above starts at Rs 25.25 lakh, while the 79kWh Pack Three Above tops the range at Rs 30.15 lakh.

Mahindra replaces the second-row bench with two captain seats and adds armrests, easier access to the third row, rear air-conditioning and two 65W USB ports.

The 70kWh and 79kWh batteries are paired with a single rear motor. Claimed range is 600km or 679km depending on the battery, while output reaches 286hp on most versions.

Why this matters

The extra layout lets Mahindra offer a more premium second row while keeping the XEV 9S competitive in India's growing electric-SUV market.
