For TorqPulse readers who want an electric SUV without compromise — not just something to silently glide through traffic, but something built to explore highways and carry families confidently — the XEV 9e shapes up as a compelling choice.

Why TorqPulse Readers Should Care
The XEV 9e stands out because it’s not trying to be a small-footprint commuter EV. It’s a proper SUV first, then an EV — not the other way around.
What Makes It Special
• Strong real-world range suitable for highway travel
• SUV size and stance — not a crossover disguised as an EV
• Fast-charging capability that makes long drives practical
• Spacious cabin and generous luggage room
• Smooth, instant torque delivery typical of powerful EVs
Where You Might Feel the Trade-offs
• Premium pricing relative to many ICE SUVs
• Real-world range will always be lower than claimed numbers

TorqPulse Verdict
If you’re ready to step into the electric future but refuse to compromise on SUV capability, space or highway touring ability, the Mahindra XEV 9e earns serious consideration. It delivers the power, range and practicality needed for real Indian conditions — not just EV marketing hype.
However, if your driving life is mostly city-only, short-distance and cost-sensitive, a smaller EV might serve you better.
For the enthusiast who values progress, power and purpose, the XEV 9e is one of the most exciting electric SUVs currently in the Indian market — and a strong signal of where Indian EV engineering is headed.
