Upcoming Mahindra XUV.e9 electric SUV coupe: New images reveal details

It’s widely known that Mahindra is diligently developing the all-electric XUV.e9 SUV, set to be its flagship electric SUV among the new-generation EVs built on its INGLO architecture. Recently, spy shots of the new Mahindra XUV.e9 SUV-coupe emerged, heavily camouflaged, offering a clearer glimpse of its interior layout, revealing several intriguing elements anticipated in the production version.

The spied image of the Mahindra XUV.e9’s interior showcases the SUV-coupe’s dashboard layout and driver’s cockpit, resembling the design observed in the XUV.e8, which was spied not long ago. One standout feature in the cabin of the Mahindra XUV.e9 is the expansive fully digital cockpit spanning the dashboard’s width. This large display comprises three high-resolution 12.3-inch TFT screens – one dedicated to the instrument console behind the steering wheel, another serving infotainment purposes at the center, and an additional screen on the co-passenger side, catering to controlling supplementary entertainment functions.

Additionally evident in the spy picture of the Mahindra XUV.e9’s interior is a new two-spoke multi-functional flat-bottomed steering wheel, resembling the recently launched steering wheel of the Tata Nexon facelift. The cabin also houses two rounded dials on the center console – one for managing drive and AWD modes and the other for transmission control. Similar to the XUV.e8, the cabin of the Mahindra XUV.e9 boasts trapezoidal AC vents below the screen and physical knobs for automatic climate control in the center console.

Regarding its exterior, the Mahindra XUV.e9 was spotted a few days ago, confirming its SUV-coupe design. Expect design elements such as a closed front grille, full-width LED lighting at the front and rear, an enlarged rear spoiler, a connected LED light bar bridging LED tail lamps, and flush-type door handles.

While specific details about its powertrain options remain scarce, the Mahindra XUV.e9 is expected to share its motor and battery setups with the XUV.e8. Speculations suggest an 80kWh battery pack and a dual-motor layout, providing an all-wheel-drive configuration. Upon release, the Mahindra XUV.e9 is poised to compete with all-electric SUVs like the BYD Atto 3, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and the upcoming Tata Harrier EV.
