Mahindra has shared the first teaser for its latest ‘Born Electric’ SUV ahead of its debut on November 27. Badged the XEV 9S, it will be Mahindra’s first all-electric seven-seater and was originally previewed by the XUV.e8 concept back in 2022.

The teaser provides glimpses of the SUV’s design, though spy shots of test mules provide a cleaner look at the design. The XEV 9S is set to share a distinct similarity with the Mahindra XUV700 - something evident in the original prototype from 2022 and in subsequent leaks over the years. Up front, the SUV will get the familiar XEV fascia design as seen on the 9e with inverted L-shaped DRLs connected via a lightbar and stacked projector headlamps. An enclosed grille is also visible in the short teaser video, as are glimpses of the sides and rear.

Moving to the cabin, the new XEV 9S is expected to mirror the 9e in terms of overall looks with a tri-screen display spanning the width of the dashboard. The SUV is also expected to get almost all the features of the coupe-SUV with some additional bits such as a sliding second row seat.

As with the XEV 9e, the 9S will be based on the INGLO platform and is expected to feature the same battery options as its coupe sibling. What is likely to change is the drivetrain, with previous leaked information suggesting that the 9S could get a dual-motor all-wheel-drive option on top variants.
The 9S is expected to be a direct rival to the likes of the Tata Harrier EV.
