Mahindra XEV 9S has been launched in India. This car is the electric version of XUV700. The SUV comes in four variants: Pack One Above, Pack Two Above, Pack Three and Pack Three Above. The Pack One is above the base variant, but feels like a mid-variant as it comes with a lot of good features. Today we are going to tell you the difference between the base and top versions of the Mahindra XEV 9S.
The base and top variants of the Mahindra XEV 9S have common elements like the illuminated ‘Mahindra Infiniti’ logo and 2-part skid plate, but there is one gap and that is that the base variant does not have a front camera. At the same time, the variant above the Pack Three gets a 360-degree camera setup. The Mahindra XEV 9S comes in six color options: Everest White, Stealth Black, Nebula Blue, Ruby Velvet, Desert Mist (Glossy), and Midnight Black.
If you look at the side profile of these two variants, it will be difficult to identify them as they look quite similar. Both variants share similar elements including flush fitting door handles, turn indicators mounted on the ORVMs (Outside Rearview Mirror) and large window panes with a pass kink of the C-pillar.
The Mahindra XEV 9S comes standard with features like three 12.3-inch screens (one for the digital instrument cluster, one for the central infotainment touchscreen and the third for the co-driver display), panoramic sunroof and push-button start/stop. The top three variants of this SUV pack additional features like dual-zone climate control, front and rear seat ventilation (for the second row), powered front seats (with memory function for the driver’s seat), and some phone chargers.
Mahindra XEV 9S is priced at Rs. 19.95 lakh to Rs. 29.45 lakh (initial ex-showroom across India). It competes with 3-row cars like Tata Harrier EV, Mahindra XEV 9E and BYD EMAX 7. The car also rivals the Kia Cairns Clavis EV.
