The Mahindra XEV 9S Pack One Above is the base model, but honestly, it doesn’t feel like one at all. It comes with premium features like triple 12.3-inch screens, which most brands only give in their top variants. Priced at ₹19.95 lakh, Mahindra has really shaken things up by offering high-end features right from the entry trim.
Even as the base model, the Mahindra XEV 9S Pack One Above stands out with high-end features such as triple 12.3-inch screens.
You get two battery options — 59 kWh and 79 kWh. Both offer strong performance, and the fast-charging speeds are impressive. The bigger 79 kWh battery can go from 20% to 80% in 20 minutes with a 180 kW fast charger. Even the 59 kWh version supports up to 140 kW charging. Power is solid too: 210 kW on the big battery and 170 kW on the smaller one.
Driving feels smooth and easy thanks to features like Electric Power Steering, a tight 10m turning radius, multiple drive modes, Boost Mode, single-pedal driving and multi-step regen. The suspension setup — iLink front and 5-Link rear — helps keep the ride stable and comfortable. Plus, it gets low rolling resistance tyres for better efficiency, and cruise control comes standard.
The outside looks modern and stylish with a panoramic sunroof, Bi-LED headlights, DRLs, full LED tail lamps and an illuminated Mahindra logo. Inside, you get premium fabric seats, CapTouch switches and 18-inch wheels with aero covers. Definitely not your typical “base model” vibe.
Safety is well covered too. The car comes with 6 airbags, all-wheel disc brakes, a strong bodyshell, brake-by-wire, an electronic brake booster, TPMS with individual tyre readings, driver drowsiness detection and a rear camera with sensors.

Tech-wise, the XEV 9S is loaded. You get three 12.3-inch screens, a Snapdragon 8155 chipset, wireless Android Auto and CarPlay, 5G support, built-in Alexa and even pre-installed OTT and social media apps.

Comfort features are also solid: sliding second-row seats, 60:40 split, height-adjustable driver seat, cooled centre console, auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, automatic climate control with rear AC vents and push-button start. For storage, there’s a 150-litre frunk and a big 527-litre boot, with lighting and even a drain hole in the frunk.
