Mahindra announces 93,689 bookings for XEV 9S (India's first 7-seater EV) and XUV 7XO, totaling over ₹20,500 crore in booking value—huge early response for premium EV & refreshed ICE SUV.
Mahindra & Mahindra has recorded an extraordinary 93,689 bookings for its XEV 9S electric SUV and XUV 7XO combined, translating to an estimated booking value exceeding ₹20,500 crore (calculated at ex-showroom prices). The milestone reflects overwhelming consumer interest in both the company's Born Electric future and its refreshed ICE offerings.
The XEV 9S, positioned as India's first mass-market 7-seater electric SUV from an Indian OEM, starts from ₹19.95 lakh (ex-showroom) and features 59kWh, 70kWh & 79 kWh LFP battery pack across 4 variants and delivers up to 679 km MIDC range. It includes dual-motor AWD with 281 bhp, triple 12.3-inch screens, Level 2+ ADAS, panoramic sunroof, Harman Kardon 16-speaker audio, and lifetime battery warranty for the first owner. Built on the INGLO platform, it supports 175 kW fast charging (20-80% in 20 minutes).
The XUV 7XO, a refreshed version of the popular XUV700 ICE SUV, complements the lineup with updated styling, enhanced interiors, advanced safety features, and multiple powertrain options to appeal to family buyers in the mid-size segment.
Bookings opened in late 2025, with deliveries for the XEV 9S expected to begin in mid-2026 from Mahindra's Chakan facility. The strong response highlights growing confidence in Mahindra's electrification strategy alongside continued demand for its proven ICE SUVs.
Mahindra aims to scale production rapidly to meet this unprecedented demand, positioning both models as key players in their respective segments.
