A Closer Look Into Mahindra XEV 9e’s Exterior And Interior In 15 Images

The Mahindra XEV 9e was recently revealed alongside the BE 6e. Judging by both cars, it’s clear that the designers have taken their job very seriously, however the XEV 9e sports a slightly more conventional coupe-like design unlike the sharp and quirky styling seen in its sibling. The XEV 9e, a midsize SUV-coupe, is so fresh in design that it already gives luxury carmakers a run for their money and the features it offers. 

Mahindra XEV 9e: Exterior Design

The Mahindra XEV 9e is almost the size of a Tata Harrier but with a more authentic coupe-like design.

From the front, the XEV 9e looks futuristic with its body-coloured blanked-off grille. The connected lighting setup features inverted L-shaped DRLs joined by a sleek light bar, that accentuates the overall look with vertically stacked LED headlights and fog lamps housed in a blacked-out V-shaped enclosure below the DRLs. 

The bonnet displays Mahindra's new butterfly-like infinity logo.

Moving to the profile, unlike the sharp lines of the BE 6e, the XEV 9e opts for smoother curves. The sloping roofline seamlessly transitions into the tailgate, creating a clean and elegant silhouette. Its sleek, sharply pointed windows are outlined with gloss black trim, while piano black body cladding extends to the pronounced wheel arches, providing a great contrast. 

You can also see body-coloured ORVMs and flush-fitted door handles for the front door – the rear door? Well, you might have to keep searching for it initially as it's kept hidden somewhere near the window. 

The SUV sits on newly styled 19-inch alloy wheels, with the option for larger 20-inch alloys.

At the rear, the design complements the front with a connected lighting setup featuring sleek LED tail lamps. However, the tailgate stands out with its chunky, block-like design that subtly tapers at the edges, giving it a robust character.

The XEV 9e is available in an impressive range of eight colour options, offering plenty of variety to suit personal tastes. Be sure to check out our detailed story for images of all the available shades!
