Mahindra XUV E9 2025: First Look at India’s Most Awaited Electric SUV

Electric cars are no longer the future — they’re the present. Mahindra seems ready to take that seriously with the upcoming Mahindra XUV E9, one of the most awaited electric SUVs in the country. Slated for launch in 2025, the XUV E9 is part of Mahindra’s Born Electric lineup and has already grabbed attention with its design, tech, and road presence.

Fresh, Futuristic Design

The Mahindra XUV E9 brings a completely new design direction for Mahindra. It’s not just a converted ICE SUV — it’s been built from the ground up as an EV. The front features a full-width LED light bar, closed-off grille, and a sharp bumper design that gives it a bold, futuristic look.

From the side, the SUV looks coupe-like thanks to the sloping roofline, while the rear is clean and modern, again featuring a connected LED taillight bar. Flush door handles, aerodynamic wheels, and an overall upright stance make the E9 stand out from anything Mahindra has done before.

Spacious and Tech-Loaded Cabin

Inside, the Mahindra XUV E9 features a triple-screen layout that runs across the entire width of the dashboard. You’ll find one screen for the instrument cluster, another for the infotainment system, and a dedicated passenger display — something we usually see in high-end EVs.

The interior is minimalistic yet premium, with ambient lighting, touch-sensitive AC controls, and sustainable materials used throughout the cabin. Space is generous, especially in the second row, and the boot space is expected to be ample too.

Powertrain and Range

While Mahindra hasn’t revealed full powertrain details yet, the Mahindra XUV E9 will be based on the INGLO EV platform. It’s likely to offer both single-motor and dual-motor (AWD) variants, with battery options ranging from 60 kWh to 80 kWh.

Expected range is between 450–500 km on a full charge, depending on the variant. Fast charging support will be standard, allowing it to charge from 0–80% in under 30 minutes.

Driving Experience and Features

The Mahindra XUV E9 is expected to deliver a smooth, silent drive with instant torque and multiple drive modes. Expect features like ADAS, 360-degree camera, connected car tech, and over-the-air updates.

Ride quality should also improve thanks to the dedicated EV chassis, making it feel stable and confident on highways and city roads alike.

Price and Final Thoughts

Mahindra is expected to price the Mahindra XUV E9 starting around ₹35 lakh (ex-showroom), placing it in the premium EV SUV segment. It will compete with models like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Tata Avinya.

In short, the Mahindra XUV E9 isn’t just another EV — it’s a statement. For buyers looking for a premium, tech-rich electric SUV with a unique design, this could be one of the most exciting launches of 2025.
