Mahindra & Mahindra is set to electrify the family SUV segment with the XEV 9S, its inaugural 7-seater, 3-row born-electric SUV, debuting on November 27, 2025. Built on the advanced INGLO modular skateboard platform—the same architecture powering the recently launched XEV 9e and BE 6—the XEV 9S is poised to be the production version of the XEV 7e prototype (electric XUV700) spotted testing extensively.
