Mahindra XEV 9S Review: Mahindra’s Boldest Move Yet in the EV War | autoX

India finally gets a homegrown 7-seater electric SUV, and it’s a big moment. The Mahindra XEV 9S promises the space of an XUV700, the tech of the XEV 9e, and the range to take on established EV rivals. But does it actually deliver as a real-world family EV?

<p>The Mahindra BE 6 has undergone another exciting makeover with a new Formula E–inspired special edition. The new version&nbsp;is developed to honour Mahindra’s long-standing presence in the all-electric championship.&nbsp;It retains the core design, but adds certain theme-specific styling changes.&nbsp;Notably, Formula E Edition isn’t the BE 6’s first exclusive variant. </p><p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/mahindra/">Mahindra </a>rolled&nbsp;out the Batman Edition in August this year, which witnessed extraordinary demand (production was&nbsp;scaled up from 300 to 999 units, all of which sold out within minutes of bookings opening).&nbsp;While the two models originate from the same Born Electric SUV platform, they cater&nbsp;to a different set of buyers with unique styling cues and thematic elements. Here’s a&nbsp;detailed comparison of these two special editions, based on design, features, and prices.</p><h2><strong>Mahindra BE 6 Formula E Edition vs Batman Edition: Design</strong></h2><p>

      </div>
    <p><br></p><p>The standard BE 6 already has an aggressive and sporty&nbsp;look, but the new Formula E Edition pushes this stance even further with a motorsport-inspired makeover.&nbsp;The familiar C-shaped LED DRLs have been replaced with slim, edge-positioned DRLs for a sharper front profile. The bumpers are now&nbsp;more rugged, paired with a silver-finished faux bash plate for a tougher appearance. </p><p>Other highlights include circular headlamps,&nbsp;contrasting grey-and-black cladding, puddle lamps on the FE3 variant, exclusive decals, a Formula E–inspired&nbsp;12-stripe graphic, and wheel options ranging from 19 to 20 inches. Mahindra has also updated the rear&nbsp;with revised taillight detailing and a new Formula E badge. The colour palette&nbsp;includes Everest White, Firestorm Orange, Tango Red, and Stealth Black.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/mahindra-be-6-formula-e-edition-launched-3-customers-to-get-2026-london-e-prix-tickets-122298/">Mahindra BE 6 Formula E Edition Launched — 3 Customers To Get 2026 London E-Prix Tickets!</a></p><p>In comparison, the Batman Edition gives a completely different personality to the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/mahindra/be-6/">BE 6</a>, which is dark, bold, and dramatic. Instead of sporty motorsport styling, the BE 6's first special edition follows a Gotham-inspired theme with a full two-tone black finish. The matte black body is contrasted by glossy elements&nbsp;on the bumpers and wheel arches, giving it a sinister, stealth-like appearance. Unique Batman decals on the doors&nbsp;and a Dark Knight badge on the tailgate add to its special-edition identity.</p><p>

    <p><br></p><p>In contrast, the Batman Edition features&nbsp;a black-and-gold cabin that thoughtfully uses Bat symbols to evoke a sense of&nbsp;stealth and sophistication.

<p>Mahindra has crossed an important point in its electric mobility plan, producing more than 40,000 units of the BE 6 and XEV 9e under the Electric Origin line. The company reached this mark within a year of launch, signalling the wider shift in India towards everyday use of electric vehicles. This milestone also highlights Mahindra’s ability to scale its manufacturing network as demand grows. Both SUVs have moved into the daily-use category for many owners, with their presence seen in major cities, small towns, and long-route drives. The achievement also shows how Mahindra is reshaping its long-term strategy by placing electric models at the centre of its domestic lineup instead of treating them as limited-volume offerings.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/mahindra-be-6-formula-e-edition-launched-3-customers-to-get-2026-london-e-prix-tickets-122298/">Mahindra BE 6 Formula E Edition Launched — 3 Customers To Get 2026 London E-Prix Tickets!</a></p><p>The BE 6 and XEV 9e have shown high adoption rates, with nearly two-thirds of owners using them for daily travel. Regular commuting and intercity runs indicate rising confidence in range, charging support, and predictable operating costs. This trend also reflects a growing shift in how first-time EV users approach everyday mobility.</p><p>Mahindra’s Electric Origin SUVs have together covered millions of kilometres. Many units crossed 20,000 km early in their ownership period, while some passed 50,000 km within months. Their performance across hills, plains, and highway stretches supports Mahindra’s work in developing EVs suited for varied Indian conditions.</p><p>

A large part of this demand came from first-time Mahindra buyers, including working professionals and families moving to EVs as their primary vehicles. The BE 6 and XEV 9e also enabled the brand to enter new customer groups across urban markets.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/industry-news/mahindra-rolls-out-fast-charge-network-in-india-with-two-operational-stations-122292/">Mahindra Rolls Out Fast Charge Network in India with Two Operational Stations</a></p><p>The BE 6 built a strong community through brand activities, custom builds, and tie-ups with gaming and entertainment platforms.

<p><em>With the KUV100, Mahindra is targeting a segment it has never ventured into before. The question is, with very strong competitors, and a plethora of products in the segment already, is the KUV unique enough to appeal to Indian customers?</em></p>

<p>In the automotive world, venturing into a new product segment is always a big ask for most manufacturers. To be successful, getting the product right is just one of the few challenges that the company needs to focus on, along with that come the larger challenges of brand positioning, pricing and, of course, there’s always the competition to reckon with. Now, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/mahindra/">Mahindra</a> has been in the game long enough to figure out these things, but the whole gamut of the challenges changes when you’re trying to shoehorn your way into a segment dominated by the two largest manufacturers in the country – <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/">Maruti Suzuki</a> and Hyundai.</p>

<p><img alt="Mahindra KUV100 Rear View" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-63516" src="/uploads/2016/01/Mahindra-KUV100-rear-642.jpg" style="width: 642px; height: 336px;" /></p>

<p>Apologies for the early spoiler, but as most of you would’ve figured out by now – especially if you’ve already seen the highly competitive pricing that Mahindra has revealed a few minutes ago – the KUV100 is not so much a compact-SUV, but rather, it’s more of a small hatchback enhanced to resemble a crossover and competing with cars like the Maruti Swift and Hyundai Grand i10. Of course, it does have one of the biggest benefits of Crossovers/SUV’s in India, increased ground clearance, and at 170mm its more than capable of handling most kinds of roads in our country. So, at a first glance, the KUV has aspects that work to its advantage, the design features distinct curves on the front, rear and sides of the car and you can see a clear resemblance in certain aspects to the XUV500. However, while the design might be eye-catching – especially in the bright orange and red hues of our test cars – it is a bit of a hit-and-miss when you look at it in design terms. Some aspects of the car work well, such as the front end with its aggressive nature works well, but the swooping rear, especially when viewed from the rear three-quarters looks quite dumpy.</p>

<p><img alt="Mahindra KUV100 Dashboard" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-63512" src="/uploads/2016/01/mahindra-kuv100-dashboard-642.jpg" style="width: 642px; height: 336px;" /></p>

<p>But, perhaps the more striking aspect of the KUV comes with its interiors. We’ve, off late, seen Mahindra seriously raise its game when it comes to the interiors of its products and like the TUV300, the KUV too comes with interiors that are well designed. An interesting aspect of the KUV is the floating dashboard design, which means that the front floor of the car doesn’t have any part of the dashboard interfering with the available space, which has been done to accommodate the third passenger in the six-seater version of the car, but more on that later. The plastics quality, the switchgear and general fit-and-finish on the KUV is of a good quality and is certainly competitive for the segment being targeted. More over, the seats are quite nice to sit in, especially in the five-seater version and feel like a comfortable place to spend time in. As far as interior room is concerned, the front of the KUV is quite spacious, and three adults can sit fairly comfortably in the six-seater version, with the extra width of the car helping matters. The rear is fairly spacious for the size of the car but people over six-feet tall might be a tight fit as far as legroom is concerned. One interesting aspect of the KUV is the six-seater version of the car, which features a larger passenger seat, enabling a third passenger to sit at the front. In practice, the legroom of the middle seat is quite limited due to the dashboard design, but if needed, it can accommodate smaller framed adults and children with ease, and even comes fitted with a seatbelt for the third passenger.</p>

<p>However, the biggest advancements for Mahindra come in the platform and running gear of the KUV. Featuring a brand new monocoque platform, the KUV has been designed from the ground up to be competitive in its segment, with Mahindra’s previous experience with the XUV’s platform coming in handy. So, the KUV is fairly balanced to drive, with its wide stance giving it quite a planted feel, even at high speeds. Given the limited nature of our drive at the Mahindra test track in their Pune factory, we couldn’t explore much of the dynamic abilities of the car, but from what we could experience, the KUV feels stable at high speed, the ride seems to be quite decent at medium to high speeds, and when pushed hard, it ultimately understeers. The KUV also features ABS as standard fit on all versions, and the brakes work quite well, with the car stopping in a straight line, and the ABS kicks in quite aggressively when needed.</p>

<p><img alt="Mahindra KUV100 Engine" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-63513" src="/uploads/2016/01/mahindra-kuv100-engine-642.jpg" style="width: 642px; height: 336px;" /></p>

<p>The other highlight of the KUV100 are the new engines, with both the petrol and diesel engines being brand-new three-cylinder units of 1.2-litre displacement. Being a new lineup, they also feature the latest technological innovations, with the petrol unit featuring 4-valves per cylinder, all-aluminum construction, as well as dual variable-valve timing. As a result, the petrol engine produces 82bhp and 115Nm of torque, while offering a claimed fuel efficiency of 18.15km/l. The diesel engine of the other hand features an aluminum head, along with common rail direct injection, and produces 77bhp and 190Nm of torque. Both engines are mated to a brand-new 5-speed manual gearbox. When driving the KUV, the what's evident with both engines is that both units feel like well engineered, modern units that are refined, linear in their power delivery and respond well to throttle inputs. The five-speed ‘box shifts quite well, and the dashboard mounted gearlever position quickly becomes second nature as its falls naturally to hand, more so in the six-seater version, where the front armrest becomes a natural resting place for the driver’s left hand. Another first for Mahindra with the KUV is the electrically assisted steering, and while it might not have much feel, it as decent weight to it, and feels quite well setup.</p>

<p><img alt="Mahindra KUV100 Front View" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-63515" src="/uploads/2016/01/mahindra-kuv100-front-three-quarter-dynamic-642.jpg" style="width: 642px; height: 336px;" /></p>

<p>So, while our first test drive of the KUV100 was under the limited conditions of Mahindra’s own test track, there are a few things that become apparent about the product. One, the monocoque structure, as well as the running gear, is a new step up for the manufacturer. In fact, I might be putting my neck out on the line for saying this, but to me, it seems like the most modern combination of chassis and drivetrain that Mahindra has produced yet, and certainly feels the most balanced as both engines are well-suited to the size and weight of the car. Secondly, the interiors, as well as the space management has also been done quite well, which obviously adds to the appeal of the KUV. Third, the pricing of the KUV – ranging from Rs. 4.42 – 5.91 lakhs for the petrol version and Rs. 5.22 – 6.76 lakhs – is ultra-competitive and offers a very good value proposition to prospective customers. And lastly, with its unique looks, it does offer a discerning factor for the KUV100 to stand out in a segment of me-too hatchbacks, and that in itself, might be a big clincher for the company.</p>
