The XUV.e9 marks Mahindra's entry into the coupe SUV segment with an all-electric powertrain and is slated to be the brand’s flagship electric SUV model. It will be launched after the launch of the XUV.e8 electric SUV which is based on the XUV700 and is anticipated to launch by the end of 2024. Both these models will be part of Mahindra's electric vehicle lineup.
It will feature dimensions of 4,790 mm in length, 1,905 mm in width, and a height of 1,690 mm, with a wheelbase matching that of the BE.05 at 2,775 mm. This electric coupe SUV will be constructed on Mahindra's new INGLO platform, known for its scalability to accommodate vehicles ranging from 4.3 meters to 5 meters in length. With wheels positioned at the corners and the battery pack integrated into the floorboard, this design ensures a flat floor, enhancing comfort for rear seat occupants.
