Mahindra has expanded the Mahindra XEV 9S lineup with a new six-seater version featuring captain seats in the second row. The configuration targets buyers who want three-row practicality with a more premium rear-seat experience. The XEV 9S was previously offered with a seven-seat layout.
The biggest change is inside. Mahindra has replaced the second-row bench with two individual captain seats. Each seat receives its own armrests, while the central gap creates a passage to the third row. This can make third-row access easier when all seats are occupied. Apart from the seating configuration, the overall cabin and equipment package remain largely unchanged.
The six-seat Mahindra XEV 9S is available with a premium of around ₹20,000 over the corresponding seven-seat version in the listed variants. The new configuration is now officially offered on Pack Two Above with 70kWh and 79kWh batteries, Pack Three with the 79kWh battery, and Pack Three Above with the 79kWh battery. Prices for these six-seat versions are listed at approximately Rs 20.65 lakh, Rs 26.90 lakh, Rs 28.80 lakh and Rs 30.90 lakh respectively, ex-showroom. The base Pack One Above continues with a seven-seat bench arrangement.
The captain-seat layout gives the XEV 9S a more lounge-like character. Individual armrests can improve comfort on longer journeys, while the open space between the seats provides a convenient route towards the third row. This could be particularly useful for families with children or passengers who frequently use the rear-most seats.
The XEV 9S continues with a technology-rich cabin. Depending on the variant, highlights include a triple-screen dashboard with three 12.3-inch displays, a panoramic sunroof, wireless smartphone connectivity, wireless charging, powered front seats with memory functions and dual-zone climate control. Rear passengers also get air-conditioning vents and dual 65W USB charging ports.
Mahindra offers the XEV 9S with multiple battery choices. The SUV is available with 59kWh, 70kWh and 79kWh battery packs, while the 79kWh version has a claimed range of up to 679km on a single charge. The 70kWh version is rated for a claimed range of around 600km, while the 59kWh battery offers up to 521km according to published specifications. These are claimed figures; actual range can vary with driving conditions.
The Mahindra XEV 9S is built on Mahindra’s INGLO electric platform and uses a rear-wheel-drive setup. Depending on the battery and variant, power output ranges across the lineup, with the larger 79kWh version producing around 282bhp according to published specifications. This combination gives the SUV the ability to balance family practicality with strong electric performance.
The introduction of captain seats broadens the Mahindra XEV 9S appeal. Buyers who previously wanted a premium six-seat electric SUV had fewer mainstream choices. Mahindra’s new configuration focuses on second-row comfort without abandoning the flexibility of a third row. The modest premium keeps the upgrade accessible for buyers considering higher XEV 9S variants.

The Mahindra XEV 9S occupies a distinctive space in India’s electric SUV market because it combines three-row practicality, premium technology and long-range battery options. Its new six-seat configuration could strengthen its appeal among larger families and buyers upgrading from conventional premium SUVs.
With the new captain-seat configuration, Mahindra has made the Mahindra XEV 9S more versatile and premium without making major changes to its electric powertrain or technology package. The extra comfort and easier third-row access could make the six-seater an attractive choice for family buyers. For customers who regularly travel with six people, the new XEV 9S offers a more comfortable alternative to the standard seven-seat layout while retaining the SUV’s long-range electric credentials.
