Mahindra Introduces Six-Seat Variant of XEV 9S Electric SUV with Captain SeatsPreviousNext

Mahindra has launched a six-seat variant of its electric SUV XEV 9S, replacing the second-row bench with individual captain seats for enhanced comfort. Priced at a Rs 25,000 premium over the seven-seat versions, the new layout is available on select higher-spec trims, maintaining the same battery options and features. The six-seat configuration offers easier access to the third row and more space for passengers, appealing especially to those prioritizing second-row comfort without altering the SUV's performance or equipment.
