I have been using a Verna Diesel 1.6-litre for the past 8 years, and it has served me well in terms of fuel efficiency. My average monthly running is around 2,500km. Due to the diesel ban in Delhi NCR and the need for a more comfortable car, I am now looking to switch to an EV (XEV 9S or the Harrier EV). I am not very particular about having too many features. I have been waiting for bookings to open for the XEV 9S, but with the launch of the new Seltos, should I consider that as well?
We would recommend taking a test drive of the Mahindra XEV 9S before making a final decision, as its suspension can feel a bit too soft on undulating roads.
Since you are also considering the Tata Harrier EV, which is a 5-seater, it makes sense to look at the XEV 9E as well. The Harrier EV is comfortable to drive and rides well, and the dual motor AWD option is available at a lower price than the XEV 9E. The Mahindra XEV 9e, however, stands out with more features, more comfortable seats, a larger boot, better range, and faster charging.
The new Seltos is a well-rounded product, but given your requirements, the running costs of the petrol automatic will be significantly higher than the electric cars you are considering. If you are keen on a Kia EV, the Carens Clavis EV is also a strong package. While it does not offer the same range as the XEV 9E or the Harrier EV, it is a polished EV with a comfortable ride, adequate performance, and a third row that is spacious and comfortable enough for adults as well.

Hi. I currently own a Duster. I am keen to move to an EV, and I've narrowed down my options to XEV 9e and XEV 9s. The three-row seat is not a must for my use. I would like to pick a vehicle that drives better and is convenient to drive in Bangalore city traffic. Please suggest which of the two vehicles will suit my need.
While the Mahindra XEV 9e is a five-seat SUV-coupe and the XEV 9S is a seven-seat SUV, the models are identical in most other ways. The only major point of difference is suspension tune.
The 9s is set up softer and doesn't feel as settled as the 9e does. Since you don't require the third row, the better riding 9e will make more sense for you. Do note, both SUVs are physically quite large, but their tight turning circles and light steering make them feel smaller than they are.

I am planning to buy a new car and am confused between the XEV 9S, Harrier EV, and Fortuner 4x2 Diesel Automatic. My usage is mostly within the city, with occasional weekend drives of up to 100 km. I live in an area with a lot of incline terrain and bad roads, and my monthly driving is around 500 km. I also have my own parking space where I can install a charger. Considering my driving pattern and road conditions, should I opt for an EV or choose a petrol or diesel vehicle, and which car would be the best choice for my needs?
For city use, the Toyota Fortuner is not ideal. Since you have private parking that accommodates a charger, this is a perfect time to switch to an EV. The Mahindra XEV 9E is more appealing than the Harrier EV, but the Mahindra XEV 9S is the one to focus on because it is more practical and also costs less.
It offers enough range for your 100 km weekend runs, has sufficient power and torque to tackle steep inclines, and has adequate ground clearance for rough roads. The Fortuner will handle rough roads better, but given that it is much more than the 9S. It is hard to justify the extra spend for occasional rough-road use.

Hi team. What are your opinions on the VF7? There are hardly any media opinions on the car. The package is quite lucrative, but why is no one talking about it? The car undercuts both Tata and Mahindra and is plenty powerful with good styling. How does it stack up against the XEV 9e and the Tata Harrier EV? I value range, reliability, and looks.
Autocar India has driven the VF7, first in Vietnam and very recently in India as well. VinFast VF7 is indeed powerful; we drove the AWD variant and were pleasantly surprised by how quick it was. Looks are subjective, but we think if you compare it with the Mahindra XEV 9e, it's not as eye-catching and from some angles, it looks more like a hatchback than an SUV.
Interiors look premium overall; there are no physical buttons except for gear selectors, and everything is controlled by the screen. While this approach isn’t new, the screen has noticeable lag.
As for reliability, there’s no historical data to fall back on yet, and the bigger concern at the moment is the lack of a service and dealer network. If reliability is a priority, we would recommend going with the Mahindra XEV 9S or even XEV 9e, which offers a better value proposition.

Hi, I am currently driving a Ford Figo Aspire Diesel and want to upgrade to a new car. My budget is around ₹18–22 lakh. I am considering the XEV9e, XEV9s, or the new Seltos Turbo Petrol. My running is mostly in the city, about 600 km per month. I need good driving dynamics and am open to other options. Please suggest.
If you don't need an additional row of seats, opt for the Mahindra XEV 9E instead of the Mahindra XEV 9S, for its driving manners. It is quick, the steering makes it surprisingly easy to drive, and its ride-handling balance truly feels world-class. There are some good discounts available on the XEV 9E, so you could get a good deal.
The new Kia Seltos turbo-petrol is an excellent option too. However, no ICE vehicle can match the smoothness and seamlessness of an EV, and simply for that reason, the XEV 9E is the better option.

I am looking to buy a good EV and want something a segment above city cars. I had shortlisted the XEV 9e, but considering the ₹2 lakh price difference compared to the 9s, I feel the XEV 9e may not sustain its current pricing and could see a price correction. The December offers are available, but they are not attractive enough for me to close the deal. Should I wait for another 2-3 months, or do you think the current offers are the best and I should go ahead with the purchase?
There is no confirmation of a possible price reduction for the Mahindra XEV 9e. In fact, carmakers usually use the new calendar year to bump up prices. If your heart is set on the Mahindra XEV 9e, we'd advise you to make the most of the year-end discounts.
Alternatively, you could consider the attractively priced Mahindra XEV 9S that is essentially a 9e in a conventional SUV body style. The two SUVs are one and the same under the skin, and it's only the different suspension tuning (the 9S is set up much softer) that is the point of difference that you'd feel on the move. The 9S also gives added flexibility with a third row of seats.

We are looking for an EV car in the budget of 25 lakh. We received great offers in December for the XEV 9E, but the XEV 9S has also been launched now. We booked a 79-kilowatt XEV 9E pack 2. But we are thinking of going for pack 2 XEV 9S around the same price. It is confusing to know which car is better. We don’t need a seven-seater, but we also don’t mind extra seats. We need a comfortable car out of the two. Also, I get car sickness often. The Scorpio N suspension is good, but body roll is there. So I decided 9e. Your suggestions, please.
The Mahindra XEV 9S is a fantastic value proposition considering its rivals. While the XEV 9e is swanky-looking with its unique form factor, the sloping roofline sacrifices roominess inside the cabin. The XEV 9S, on the other hand, has a roomier cabin, and even if you don't need the third row, you can always fold it down and use it as a big boot space.
The 9S is a newer car and has the same level of sophistication as the Mahindra XEV 9e. However, it has a slightly floaty ride, and the suspension is on the softer side. As a result, you will feel the movements inside the cabin compared to a 9e. Considering your needs and the fact that you don't require a third row, we would suggest sticking to the 9e.

Asked by: Avinash Baglaon Dec 1, 2025
Hi Autocar team, I own multiple cars, all diesel and petrol driven, but I now want to buy an electric car. My usage will be approximately 1,500 km per month. I have shortlisted the Mahindra XEV 9e and 9S, but am unable to decide between the two. I am heavily built with a height of 6 feet 1 inch. In your reviews, Nikhil Bhatia mentions that the suspension of the 9S is softer, so I am confused. Kindly help.
Both the Mahindra XEV 9e and XEV 9S are suitable for a big, built person like you. However, the Mahindra XEV 9S is set up softer than the XEV 9e, and there is more vertical movement that you will experience at higher speeds.
It is not to the point of discomfort, but something that you will notice. If you don’t need the third row of seats and are sensitive to ride comfort and body movements, the XEV 9e will be the better pick for you.

Hi sir, I own a 2016 Hyundai Creta 1.6 diesel SX with 1.17 lakh km on the odometer. I am planning to replace it with a budget of up to ₹30 lakh. I drive 60 km on alternate days with a mix of highway and city usage. I want a vehicle with at least the same power and fuel efficiency as my current car. Also, should I consider an EV?
Considering your usage, an electric car makes a lot of sense, and within your budget, you have quite a few current and upcoming options. If you want something that feels familiar but is a proper upgrade in terms of tech, driving, and comfort, you can go for the Hyundai Creta Electric. It is powerful enough, has a good range, is creamy smooth to drive and is a well-rounded product.
If you want something larger with more range and performance, you can consider the Mahindra XEV 9e. It is more spacious, has a larger boot, a bigger battery pack that gives it a longer range, and it offers more tech as well.
If you are willing to wait a bit, the Tata Sierra EV is just around the corner, and a seven-seat version of the 9e named the Mahindra XEV 9S is coming as well.

I want to buy a new premium 5-seater car with a budget of around ₹30 lakh. Mileage is also important to me. My average running is about 1,000 km per month.
There aren't any sedans or for that matter too many other vehicles at the Rs 30 lakh mark today. Your best options would be to look at an SUV like the Tata Safari, or if you are open to an electric car, you could check out the Mahindra XEV 9e or the upcoming Mahindra XEV 9S, which would give you more of that premium feel you want.
