The Mahindra XUV.e9 is going to be the homegrown automobile giant’s first coupe SUV with a pure electric powertrain. The XUV.e9 is expected to come equipped with a 80 kWh battery pack which will be good for 400 to450 km of range in real-world conditions. The top variants could also get dual motors to support all-wheel drive and the expected power output is expected to be above 200 hp.
XUV.e9 Coupe SUV Launch and Expectations
The XUV.e9 is expected to launch in the second quarter of 2025. It will follow the XUV.e8 electric SUV, which is based on the XUV700.

The XUV.e9 will sit above the XUV.e8 SUV in Mahindra’s EV line-up, and could be the company’s flagship offering in India.
