The XEV 9e carries over almost all of the concept’s exterior design. Notable elements include the full-width lightbar that brackets the SUV’s fascia, triangular headlamps, a closed-off grille, a heavily sculpted bonnet and prominently flared wheel arches. As with the XUV.e9 concept, the XEV 9e gets a coupe-SUV design with the roofline tapering towards the rear and ending in a sharply raked rear windshield. At the rear, the slim tail lamp follows a similar design as the DRLs upfront.

In terms of dimensions, the XEV 9e is a sizeable SUV measuring 4789 mm long, 1907 mm wide and 1694 mm tall. It sits on a 2775 mm wheelbase - identical to the BE 6e. Ground clearance too is the same as the BE 6e at 207 mm.
 

Inside, the cabin too borrows much from the 2022 concept with three displays spanning the width of the dashboard including a dedicated co-driver display. The two-spoke steering features the new illuminated infinity-derived Mahindra logo. The cabin offers seating for up to 5 individuals.
