With five new electric cars already launched this year, India’s EV market is gearing up for an even stronger finish. Three major brands—Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki and Tata Motors—are preparing to launch their most important electric SUVs before 2025 ends. These models promise improved range, advanced technology and fresh design language, signalling the next phase of India’s electric mobility shift.
Below are the top 3 upcoming EVs you should watch out for.
1. Mahindra XEV 9S – India’s First 3-Row Born-Electric SUV
Mahindra will debut its first-ever 3-row e-SUV, the XEV 9S, on November 27. Built on the INGLO skateboard platform (shared with the XEV 9e and BE 6), the 9S is set to become Mahindra’s flagship electric family SUV.
Expected Powertrains
- 59kWh battery pack (single motor)
- 79kWh battery pack (higher range model)
- In the BE 6, the larger pack offers up to 656km ARAI range, so expect similar figures here.
