AUTOMOTIVE Mahindra launched XUV7X0 and XEV9S for Nizamabad auto enthusiasts in the presence of Dr. R. Bhoopathi Reddy, MLA, Adv. Mrs. Sarala M. Reddy and Adv. KM Mahender Reddy. Nizamabad, January 28th, 2026: Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., India’s leading SUV manufacturer, today launched the new XUV 7XO, the company’s latest trendsetter, and the XEV 9S, India’s first authentic electric origin 7-seater SUV built from the ground-up on the INGLO architecture at Nizamabad, Telangana by Automotive Mahindra. Starting at a price of ₹13.66 lakh (ex-showroom), the XUV 7XO raises the benchmarks set by the game-changer XUV 700, which has had over 3,00,000 customers since its launch in 2021. Along, the XEV 9S arrives as India’s Big New Electric - a bold idea crafted into an intelligently spacious SUV for people whose lives, dreams, and daily journeys are getting bigger. Prices starting at Rs. 19.95 Lakhs, XEV9S is designed for families, creators, travellers, and everyday Indians who want one simple thing from their car-space for everything they want to do and everything they want to be. The vehicles were launched by Dr. Rekulapally Bhoopathi Reddy, MLA, Nizamabad Rural, Mrs. Katipally Sarala Mahendher Reddy, former Public Prosecutor of Nizamabad, Mr. KM Mahender Reddy, Advocate, High Court - Telangana in the presence of other dignitaries.

Mahindra has consistently worked towards democratising technology, and the XUV 7XO further exemplifies this commitment by offering advanced features starting from the base variant. The AX variant, featuring Coast-to-Coast 31.24 cm Triple HD screens, Intelligent ADRENOX, Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, Alexa Built-in with ChatGPT, Cruise Control, Push Button Start/Stop, and 75 safety features - all as standard - makes cutting-edge technology and premium features more accessible than ever.

Powered by MAIA, India’s fastest automotive mind, and shaped with Mahindra’s expressive design philosophy, the XEV 9S doesn’t just introduce a new vehicle - it introduces a new feeling of electric freedom. A Big New Electric for Big Lives with its expansive cabin, clever three-row electric-first layout, whisper-quiet drive, and an almost magical sense of openness, the XEV 9S gives families, travellers, creators, and commuters something Indian mobility has long denied them: Comfort that isn’t negotiated, Space that isn’t apologised for, Electric that isn’t small.

Commenting on the launch, Rajiv Sanghvi, Executive Director, Automotive Manufacturers Private Limited said, “AMPL Group’s partnership spanning over seven decades, has witnessed Mahindra bringing category-leading vehicles to customers. The XUV 7XO and the XEV 9S mark a major leap in innovation, combining cutting-edge technology, intelligent connectivity, and best-in-class capabilities. As Mahindra’s largest sales and after-sales partner in India, with 138 touchpoints across six states, AMPL is well positioned to further strengthen Mahindra’s dominance in the SUV category with these two new vehicles.” R Velusamy, President - Automotive Business, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. and Managing Director, Mahindra Electric Automobile Ltd., said, “XUV 7XO is our next step in delivering a truly premium, technology-forward SUV - smoother in ride, sharper in response, and smarter in experience. We are introducing the DAVINCI suspension system - our new valve-based damping technology - for the first time worldwide, delivering a distinctly more plush and settled ride. We have always believed that technology is meaningful only when it expands human possibility. The XEV 9S built on the INGLO electric origin platform does exactly that by creating space – more than anyone else and gives a smooth and noise free ride .
