Why People Are Interested in Electric and ICE Appeal

India's New 7-Seater Electric SUV, XEV 9S

Mahindra's most recent electric SUV, the XEV 9S, has seven seats and a variety of battery options to meet various demands. With a range and performance designed to appeal to both families and EV adopters, it has been positioned as an appealing electric option in the mass-market SUV sector.

According to the company's release, the XEV 9S would be delivered gradually beginning the week of January 26, 2026.

Updated and Prepared for Delivery: XUV 7XO

A new version of Mahindra's well-liked SUV, the XUV 7XO, has attracted a lot of attention. This model's bookings opened concurrently, and deliveries started on January 14, 2026. With a variety of appealing trim levels and both gasoline and diesel powertrain options, it is specifically targeted at consumers searching for a well-equipped and adaptable family SUV.

With the XEV 9S attracting significant demand alongside a more conventional SUV like the XUV 7XO, this booking milestone not only demonstrates Mahindra's solid position in India's SUV market but also indicates a growing acceptance of electric vehicles.

Mahindra appears to be expanding its appeal to a wider range of consumer preferences by integrating options from multiple powertrain types.

The upcoming months will show how these reservations translate into actual sales and on-road presence, with deliveries of the XUV 7XO now underway and the XEV 9S about to start.
