Mahindra has officially kickstarted the deliveries of its all-new born-electric SUV, the XEV 9e, across India. After months of anticipation and pre-booking buzz, customers are finally starting to receive their futuristic electric SUV, and the excitement is real. Priced from Rs. 21.9 lakh (ex-showroom), the XEV 9e represents a bold move into the electric SUV space — and buyers seem to be loving it already.
Launch
The first unit delivered was finished in a stunning Tango Red shade — one of the eight colour options Mahindra is offering for the XEV 9e. The rollout is being done in phases, so if you’ve booked yours, you might want to keep an eye on the official delivery schedule updates on Mahindra’s website.
Pre-bookings opened on 14 February, and the response was nothing short of explosive. Between the XEV 9e and its sibling, the BE 6, Mahindra racked up over 30,000 bookings in just a few hours. Of that, the XEV 9e alone claimed 56 percent of the demand, making it the hotter pick of the two.
Variants
Customers can choose from four distinct variants of the XEV 9e, depending on their preferences for features and performance. It also comes with two battery pack options, designed to suit both urban users and long-distance drivers.
Here’s how the battery split is playing out: the 79kWh battery pack, which is exclusive to the top-end Pack Three variant, has become the most sought-after option, accounting for a whopping 73 percent of total bookings. That’s a clear signal buyers want longer range and top-tier features.
Options
The wide range of options makes the XEV 9e stand out in its class. Whether you’re looking for a daily EV for city commutes or something you can take on the highway without charging anxiety, Mahindra seems to have you covered.
The eight colour choices also give customers room to show off their personality — from subtle tones to bold finishes like the Tango Red. Combined with modern styling and premium tech, the XEV 9e brings a lot to the table.
Response
Early demand shows Mahindra’s electric gamble is paying off. The fact that over half the bookings went to the XEV 9e is impressive, especially when launched alongside another all-new EV. Buyers clearly see value in what the XEV 9e is offering — performance, range, and Mahindra’s growing EV ecosystem.
Also worth noting is how customers are going straight for the top variants. The popularity of the 79kWh battery pack shows that Indian EV buyers are becoming more range-conscious and are ready to invest in longer-lasting options, especially if they come bundled with more features.
Recap
So far, Mahindra’s XEV 9e journey is off to a flying start. Deliveries are now live, demand is sky-high, and the premium variants are flying off the shelves. If you’re in the market for an electric SUV that blends bold design with practical features and strong range, this one definitely deserves a look.
