Feature-Packed Cabin & Next-Gen Technology
It wouldn’t be wrong to call the Mahindra XEV 9S a 7-seater version of the XEV 9e, as both SUVs share many technical and design elements. The cabin features a 3×12.3-inch screen setup, which gives a futuristic feel like a premium car. Features like a 16-speaker Harman Kardon music system, dual wireless chargers, and ventilated front seats give you a luxurious experience.
The new model goes a step further than the previous models and also comes with ventilated second-row seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a powered co-driver seat. In terms of technology, it is packed with features like Level 2+ ADAS, an in-car camera, and an intelligent suspension. It also comes with a 540-degree camera, which makes parking a breeze.
Comfort & Practicality
If the car is spacious and the seats are comfortable, the journey is long or there is no fatigue. The seats of the XEV 9S are as comfortable as the XEV 9e, which has excellent back and thigh support. Second-row recline function and ventilation make it even more comfortable.
Since it is a 7-seater you can travel comfortably for 7 people if you want, or increase the boot space by folding the rear seats if needed.
Safety
Mahindra has not yet shared the official crash-test rating of XEV 9S, but its platform and safety equipment is the same as XEV 9e. The XEV 9e had achieved a perfect screen of 32/32 in adult safety with 5-star rating. In such a situation, it can be expected that XEV 9S will also prove to be top class in terms of safety.
