Mahindra XEV 9e news

The list includes not only electric SUVs like the Creta EV but also the upcoming Harrier EV, along with multiple SUVs from luxury carmakers

The Pack Three variants will be the only trim on both EVs to come with two battery pack options

Both EVs are available for test drives in select cities with pan-India drives to open in February.

Kia and Skoda disclosed claimed fuel-efficiency figures for their recently launched sub-4m offerings, and this week also saw price hikes of some existing models

Starting with the second phase of the test drives, customers in Indore, Kolkata, and Lucknow can now experience both Mahindra EVs firsthand

Bookings of the top-spec model will commence from February 14 while prices of other variants and bookings for them will be revealed by the end of March 2025

The XEV 9e has also scored full 32/32 points in adult occupant protection (AOP), offering good protection to both driver and co-driver in all tests and scenarios

Along with three displays on the dashboard, the Mahindra XEV 9e also introduces an illuminated panoramic glass roof and a selfie camera under Rs 35 lakh price

From budget-oriented SUVs like the Kia Syros to luxury offerings like the Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 Night Series, take a look at the entire lineup

Phase one of the test drives has begun, with phases two and three to follow soon

The XEV 9e is well-equipped, offers better performance, and costs Rs 15.55 lakh less than the Ioniq 5

Out of the entire range of new cars set to be showcased by the three carmakers, only two are ICE-powered models, while other are EVs, including the XEV 9e and Cyberster

Currently, the SUV maker offers the top-end variants of both EVs with just the larger 79 kWh battery pack, which won’t be the case

Prices of the BE 6 range between Rs 18.90 lakh and Rs 26.90 lakh, while the XEV 9e is priced from Rs 21.90 lakh to Rs 30.50 lakh (ex-showroom pan-India)

Bookings of the top-spec Pack Three variant with the 79 kWh battery start from February 14, 2025
