Mahindra XEV 9e news

Currently, Mahindra has only three EVs on sale and none of them is readily available in any of the top 20 Indian cities in August 2025

Both EVs come with the same 79 kWh battery pack and a similar claimed range. But which makes the best use of the battery pack and delivers more real-world range? We find out

The Pack Two variant of the XEV 9e is the only variant to offer both the 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery options

Pack Two is the most affordable trim with the 79 kWh battery pack option in the variant lineup of both XEV 9e and BE 6

In addition to new EVs like the Carens Clavis EV and MG Cyberster, the bygone month saw a popular American electric carmaker debut in India

Carmakers like Maruti, Kia and Toyota debuted in Bharat NCAP, while Tata and Mahindra cars received the best crash safety ratings in the first 6 months of 2025

Besides multiple official updates, the main highlight of the week was the teaser of the first mass-market electric MPV, the Kia Carens Clavis EV

The 79 kWh battery pack in the Pack Two trim is priced at Rs 1.6 lakh more than the 59 kWh battery pack option for both EVs

Both the similarly priced RWD variants of the Tata Harrier EV and Mahindra XEV 9e offer comparable performance and features. Here’s the one that should make more sense for you

MG and Tata EVs have been the most trusted choices for Indian buyers in the previous fiscal year (FY 2024-25)

The Harrier EV and XEV 9e are the flagship EVs from the Indian carmakers and both have earned a 5-star safety rating in their respective BNCAP tests

The 2025 Harrier EV is equipped with a ‘Boost Mode’ that gives a short boost of additional power for quicker acceleration

Both the EVs have complementary features; however, the Harrier EV offers a bigger battery pack than the XEV 9e for a more affordable price

In addition to an additional screen on the dashboard and a better sound system, the XEV 9e gets a few convenience features over the Harrier EV

Besides the anticipated launch of the new Tata Harrier EV, multiple updates followed. Meanwhile, a mysterious Mahindra SUV test mule made us wonder – which model could it be?
