Mahindra XEV 9S Variants–The “Base” Model Isn’t Basic

Usually, XEV 9S base models feel cheap and stripped down. Not here. The entry-level “Pack One Above” (₹19.95 Lakh) is surprisingly loaded.

• What you GET: You still get the Triple Screen Dashboard, the massive Panoramic Skyroof, and the full Level 2 ADAS safety suite.
• The Battery: It comes with the 59 kWh battery.
• The Range: It gives a claimed range of 521 km. In the real world, this means 350+ km, which is more than enough for weekly city driving.

What Do You Pay Extra For? (The Gimmicks)

The XEV 9S top-end “Pack Three Above” costs ₹9.5 Lakh more. What does that money buy you?

• Bigger Battery: 79 kWh (679 km range). Ask yourself: Do you really need to drive 500 km without stopping?
• Luxury Toys: Features like the Vision X (Augmented Reality HUD), ventilated 2nd-row seats, and fancy leather trims. Nice to have, but not essential.

Price vs. Value Analysis

Our Expert Verdict
