Mahindra is stepping up its electric game with the upcoming XEV 9S, and the latest teaser confirms a major feature addition — rear entertainment screens. This all-electric SUV is packed with tech, and the rear screens are just the tip of the iceberg.
Built on Mahindra’s INGLO platform, the XEV 9S marks a new chapter in the company’s EV journey, and it’s also their first-ever three-row electric SUV. Here’s everything we know so far.
Screens
The headline-grabbing feature? Rear seat screens. These are expected to be offered only on the top-spec trims across both battery variants. From what we know, the rear screens will likely run the same operating system as the front screens. That means rear passengers can expect similar levels of interactivity, responsiveness, and multimedia access — possibly including navigation, video playback, and connectivity options.
The XEV 9S is tipped to have five screens in total, which puts it among the segment leaders when it comes to in-car displays. That includes digital instrument clusters, central infotainment, climate control displays, and the newly confirmed rear entertainment screens.
Features
Mahindra isn’t holding back with this EV. The teaser videos have already given us a glimpse of several standout features. The cabin gets a premium black interior theme, enhanced by ambient lighting and a Harman Kardon sound system — a first for Mahindra’s EV range.
Other major feature highlights include:
- Panoramic sunroof
- Five-screen dashboard setup
- Rear entertainment screens
- Premium audio system
- Ambient lighting
- Frunk and boot with large storage capacity
Mahindra is clearly aiming for a futuristic, luxury-inspired experience inside the XEV 9S, making it ideal for family buyers who want space, tech, and comfort.
Battery
The XEV 9S will come with two battery options — a 59kWh pack and a larger 79kWh version. These battery sizes will likely cater to different ranges and price points. While exact driving range figures haven’t been revealed yet, it’s safe to assume the bigger battery will deliver longer range and be available in the top-end variants that also include the rear screens.
Both battery packs are expected to support fast charging, thanks to the advanced architecture of the INGLO platform.
Platform
Built on Mahindra’s INGLO platform, the XEV 9S shares its foundation with the XUV.e9 and the upcoming BE 6. This platform is designed specifically for EVs, which means it supports larger battery sizes, faster charging, and enhanced cabin space.
The INGLO platform also focuses on modularity, safety, and connected features — all of which are expected to be core to the XEV 9S.
Interior
The cabin layout of the XEV 9S has already caught a lot of attention. A three-row configuration means this is Mahindra’s first attempt at an electric family SUV that can carry six or seven passengers.
The black interior, combined with ambient lighting, gives off a high-end vibe. The screens dominate the dashboard, and with the addition of rear seat displays, passengers in every row can enjoy media and vehicle features.
Expect plush materials, spacious seating, and advanced connectivity across all rows. The inclusion of both a boot and a frunk (front trunk) is also a big plus for those looking at practicality and luggage capacity.
Design
While Mahindra hasn’t fully revealed the exterior yet, teasers show a bold and modern design. Expect LED lighting, a sleek silhouette, and aerodynamic detailing. The panoramic sunroof adds to the visual appeal and enhances the airy feel of the cabin.
