Mahindra XEV 9S – Familiar Design with Premium Feel
The new XEV 9S looks like a perfect blend of the XUV700 and XUV 9e, featuring a front design similar to the electric coupe, while its silhouette is identical to its ICE counterpart. Upfront, it gets a blanked-off grille with vertically-stacked Bi LED projector headlamps and a connected LED strip, all are very similar to the XEV 9e.
As mentioned above, its side profile will remind you of the XUV700; however, it features EV-specific aero-optimised 18-inch alloy wheels.
The rear is again similar to the XUV700. But Mahindra has tweaked the taillamps to look a bit sharper.
