Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives
Mahindra XEV 9S
  • Smooth and quick performance. Can ferry the weight of 7-passengers with ease.
  • Battery pack options can manage 400-500km of range in real-world conditions.
  • Top-notch safety: Up to 7 airbags, ESC, Level 2 ADAS, live phone surveillance and more!
  • Tech-overload! Triple 12.3-inch screens as standard, 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, panoramic sunroof, front and rear seat ventilation, and more.
  • Smooth power delivery, electric boss button, sunshades, rear chargers make it a good backseat owner experience.
  • Plenty spacious and practical for the family’s use.
Mahindra XEV 9S
  • Not much boot space with the third-row in use. You can store small bags in the 150L front trunk though.
  • Third-row space is strictly ok. Suitable for short adults or kids. They will sit in a knees-up position.
  • Ride quality feels soft/notably bouncy. Absorbs bad road shocks well but movement on recovery needs to be controlled quicker.
