The new teaser focuses almost entirely on the interior, confirming a triple-screen layout up front, rear screen holders, a sliding second row, and a flexible three-row layout that underlines that the “S” in XEV 9S stands for seven seats. Let’s check out what cool features we customers are getting from the upcoming XEV 9S.
Digital cockpit with five screens
Interiors
The teaser confirms a dramatic triple-screen setup on the dashboard, comprising a full-digital instrument cluster, a central infotainment screen, and a dedicated co-passenger display, similar in layout to the XEV 9e. Mahindra also shows two additional screens for second‑row occupants, taking the total to five, instantly giving the 9S a clear tech advantage in its segment.
The rear-facing displays are mounted in dedicated holders behind the front seats, echoing Mahindra’s “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) concept from the XEV 9e. The teaser’s “Space for Everything” caption reinforces that these holders are designed to balance entertainment and practicality, allowing passengers to easily position and remove their devices while keeping cables and clutter under control.
Mahindra repeatedly highlights that the “S” in XEV 9S stands for seven, making this the brand’s first born-electric three-row SUV for India on the INGLO skateboard architecture. Teaser shots show a sliding second row, with visuals suggesting a recline function as well, allowing owners to choose between enhanced legroom for the middle row or easier access to the third row.
Another clip showcases the rear seats folded flat to demonstrate luggage volume, with the boot swallowing multiple large trunks and smaller suitcases, underscoring its long-distance family credentials.
Premium Interiors Materials
As this car will be focused on premium offspring. So we can expect that the interiors would also be with premium-finish upholstery. The XEV 9S adopts an all‑black theme with contrasting silver inserts and visible white stitching on the two‑spoke steering wheel, giving the cabin a sporty yet upmarket feel.
The teasers highlight multi‑color ambient lighting running across the cabin, with the central display expected to offer full-spectrum color customization. Combined with a panoramic sunroof, this lighting package is designed to make the cabin feel airy and futuristic.
During the teaser reveal, we can also see a Harman Kardon-branded speaker grille, confirming a premium audio system, likely mirroring the 16‑speaker setup with Dolby Atmos previously seen on the XEV 9e. This aligns the 9S with global premium SUVs and signals Mahindra’s intent to focus on immersive in-cabin entertainment to complement the multiple displays.
Conclusion
With the 9S likely to share its powertrain and battery options with the XEV 9e and BE 6, the focus in these teasers is clearly on cabin experience rather than raw numbers, positioning it as an EV where families will spend most of their time enjoying the tech and space.
