Mahindra XEV 9e: New beginning of electric revolution on Indian roads
The demand for electric vehicles (EV) in India is increasing day by day. Rising petrol and diesel prices, concern for environmental protection and subsidies given by the government have given new impetus to the EV market. In this race, Mahindra has also taken a strong step – in the form of Mahindra XEV 9e.
Mahindra XEV 9e is an electric vehicle that has been specially designed keeping in mind the needs of urban travel, office transport and government institutions. Let's know about this great electric vehicle in detail.
Design and Looks: Modern and Professional
The design of Mahindra XEV 9e is simple, clean and professional. Its body is aerodynamic which not only looks stylish but also gives better performance during driving. This vehicle looks like a mini van or utility vehicle, making it suitable for office transport or fleet services.
LED lights in its front, electric blue accents and Mahindra's new logo give it a more modern look.
Performance and battery range
Mahindra has made the best use of its electric technology in the XEV 9e. It has a powerful electric motor that gives a smooth and silent ride. Its range is said to be around 120-150 km, which is quite good for urban needs.
It takes about 4-5 hours to charge the battery (with a normal charger). If there is a fast charging facility, then this time can be even less.
Interior and comfort
The interior of the Mahindra XEV 9e is simple but useful. It has seating capacity for 4-6 people, which makes it perfect as an office cab or institute shuttle. The seats are comfortable and space is also adequate.
Modern facilities like digital display, drive mode indicator, mobile charging port are present on the dashboard. AC option is also available in it, which makes the journey comfortable even in summer.
Safety and Reliability
Mahindra has also made the XEV 9e meet the safety standards. It has been provided with essential safety features like driver airbag, seat belts, stable chassis and anti-lock braking system (ABS). Also, the company has also provided telematics support in it, which makes fleet management and tracking easier.
Price and Availability
Mahindra XEV 9e has currently been launched mainly for government organizations and fleet operators. Its price can be around ₹ 9 lakh to ₹ 11 lakh (ex-showroom), which can be more or less in different states according to the subsidy.
Its delivery is expected to start by the end of 2025 and in the coming time it can also be available to general customers.
A positive step for the environment
XEV 9e is not just a car, it is a step towards a clean and green India. It neither emits smoke nor makes any noise, which reduces pollution and improves the urban environment. If a large number of offices and government institutions adopt such EVs, then the consumption of petrol and diesel can also be reduced significantly.
