Mahindra has expanded its flagship electric SUV line-up by introducing a new 6-seater configuration for the XEV 9S. Replacing the second-row bench with individual captain seats, the new layout enhances rear passenger comfort with dedicated armrests and an aisle for easier third-row access.
Available across the Pack Two Above, Pack Three, and Pack Three Above trims, the 6-seater variant commands a ₹25,000 premium over corresponding 7-seat models, carrying prices between ₹25.25 lakh and ₹30.15 lakh (ex-showroom).

59 kWh Battery: Produces 228 bhp and 380 Nm of torque, delivering a claimed range of up to 521 km.
-
79 kWh Battery: Produces 281 bhp and 380 Nm of torque, delivering an extended claimed range of up to 679 km.

Cabin Comfort: Ventilated front and rear seats, panoramic sunroof, and 65W fast USB charging ports.
