If you are thinking of buying a new car and are waiting for the right time – especially for a new launch – then this is a great opportunity for you. Mahindra has launched a new version of its popular electric car, XEV 9S. This new model offers a 6-seater option with captain-style seats in the rear row; In fact, this car is now available in both 7-seater and 6-seater configurations. The company has introduced this variant so that customers can get the best option for more comfort and premium experience. Let's take a look at all the details including its price and features.
**What is special in the new 6-seater XEV 9S?**
Previously, the Mahindra XEV 9S was available only as a 7-seater, with a bench-style seat in the middle row. Now, the company has introduced a 6-seater layout. In this new configuration, the second row has two separate captain seats instead of a single bench seat. These seats have separate armrests, which provide more comfort to the passengers. This layout is especially suitable for families who want to travel long distances in comfort. According to the company, this 6-seater option further enhances the premium look of the car and is designed to attract customers who prioritize comfort over seating capacity.
This 6-seater captain seat option will not be available in all variants. The company has introduced it in three special trims: 'Pack Two Above', 'Pack Three' and 'Pack Three Above'. This base will not be available in the 'Pack One Above' variant. It is worth noting that Mahindra XEV 9S was first launched in November 2025 and since then it has become the best-selling model in Mahindra's electric vehicle portfolio. Last month alone, 4,131 units were sold, which shows the tremendous demand for this car among the customers.
**What is the price and what is the competition?**
Talking about the price, the starting price of Mahindra XEV 9S is ₹ 19.95 lakh (ex-showroom). The new 6-seater version with captain seat starts at ₹25.25 lakh (ex-showroom). What's special is that the 6-seater option costs only ₹25,000 more than the 7-seater version of the same variant; This means customers can get premium features like captain seats at a small extra cost. It is worth noting that this price does not include the 11.2 kW AC charger, for which you will have to pay separately.
