According to the brand, the platform is specifically designed for electric vehicles, setting it apart from platforms adapted from internal combustion engine designs. A notable feature is its flat-floored layout, which enhances stability by lowering the vehicle's center of gravity. This design also maximises interior space, eliminates the central tunnel, and improves seating flexibility, offering greater overall comfort for passengers.

Mahindra XEV 9e: Battery

The XUV 9e is powered by a 59kWh battery paired with an electric motor that delivers 228bhp and 380Nm. On a full charge, it provides a range of 656km. A larger 79kWh option is expected later.

With a 140kW DC fast charger, the battery can be replenished from 20-80% in just 20 minutes. It can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 6.8 seconds.

Mahindra XEV 9e: Design

The mid-size electric SUV adorns a sleek, coupe-inspired aesthetic. Its front end features a bold look, highlighted by seamless LED DRLs shaped like inverted Ls, vertically stacked LED headlights, and a closed-off grille. There is an illuminated Mahindra ‘Infinity’ logo as well. The bumpers maintain a clean, sporty appearance. Moving on to the side profile, you can notice its coupe character with a sloping roofline, aerodynamic alloy wheels, and premium flush-fitting door handles that enhance its streamlined look.

At the rear, the sloping roof blends effortlessly into the tailgate, complemented by a shark fin antenna and a subtle roof spoiler that enhances its sporty appeal. The rear lighting includes connected LED tail lamps.

The interior is designed with a simple, modern approach, showcasing a 2-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated Infinity logo and a layered dashboard. The centre console includes controls for the driving modes, the gear shift, two cupholders, and wireless phone charging pads. This console design extends seamlessly to the front armrest, creating a streamlined, integrated look. The car houses a triple-screen setup on the dashboard, including separate displays for the driver, the touchscreen, and the passenger.

The feature suite of the e-SUV comprises a panoramic glass roof, multi-coloured ambient lighting, cruise control, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment unit, powered and ventilated seats, Harman-Kardon-sourced 16-speaker music system, Android Auto and Apple Carplay, an entertainment screen, dual-zone climate control, and a 10.25-inch digital driver display.
