Design, Platform & Variant
Let me tell you that XEV 9S has been developed on INGLO architecture, the same platform on which XEV 9e and BE 6 are made. This platform is more advanced in terms of length, wheelbase and interior space. In India it has been introduced in four variants and six color options. These include premium shades such as Everest White, Ruby Velvet, Stealth Black, Desert Myst, Nebula Blue and Midnight Black.
Talking about Variants, the SUV is divided into three main packs Pack One Above, Pack Two Above, Pack Three Above, and a fullly-loaded top variant Pack Three Above+. Battery choices include 59 kWh, 70 kWh and 79 kWh packs, allowing each buyer to choose an SUV according to its use and range.
Battery, Power & Charging
The XEV 9S comes in three battery packs, which directly vary the power output. The power range of the SUV goes from 170 kW to 210 kW. The first is a 70 kWh battery which provides 180 kW power + 380 Nm and the second is a 79 kWh battery which provides up to 210 kW power.
Talking about fast charging, with the help of DC chargers (140 kW–180 kW), 20–80% charging is completed in just 20 minutes. This means that even long journeys are hassle-free.
