Mahindra XUV.e9 Coupe SUV: Mahindra & Mahindra, one of the largest automobile manufacturers in India is gearing up to launch new electric models in the country. In 2022, Mahindra unveiled five upcoming electric SUVs. These new vehicles were categorized under two sub-brands: XUV and BE. Within the XUV lineup, two SUVs were introduced: the XUV.e8 and the XUV.e9. Recently, the XUV.e8 which is based on the XUV700 has also been spotted and now the XUV.e9 has been spotted on Indian roads. Mahindra has confirmed that the XUV.e9 will be launched in India in April 2025.
Mahindra XUV.e9 - Electric Coupe SUV
Mahindra XUV.e9 will be among the other upcoming coupe SUVs that are set to be launched in 2024. Tata Motors is set to introduce the Curvv, India's first coupe SUV which is slated to be launched later this year. However, it's worth noting that this won't mark Mahindra's first foray into the SUV coupe segment. Eight years ago, Mahindra unveiled the XUV Aero concept at Auto Expo 2016. Although the concept garnered significant attention, the project was ultimately shelved due to the high production costs associated with the concept SUV.

There's a departure from the traditional grille, replaced by a flat bonnet and muscular haunches.
