What owners and experts like about the Mahindra XEV 9e
Seat comfort
Strongly positivebased on 7 reviews
“The seats also feel very comfortable, they are quite supportive, and the shape of the seat is very good - you won't feel even a little fatigue on a long drive, you can drive it comfortably the whole day.”
Handling
Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews
“The 9e is also surprisingly easy to drive... at low speeds the steering is light, you don't need much effort to twirl it, and even the turning circle is surprisingly small.”
Boot space
Generally positivebased on 7 reviews
“The most underrated feature would be its frunk - basically 150 litres I think, and probably the biggest in this segment. When you don't feel safe keeping a bag on the back seat, you can keep it in the frunk, it's still safer.”
Rear seat space
Generally positivebased on 7 reviews
“In terms of rear seat space the 9e scores pretty well - I'm just under 6ft tall, front seat set to my driving position, and I'm really comfortable on knee room. Overall the sense of space at the back is really impressive.”
Where the Mahindra XEV 9e falls short
Not every point below is a serious flaw. Some are mixed opinions where reviewers disagreed, and the label says which.
Tyre quality
Strongly negativebased on 5 reviews
“This car went into one pothole and the tire suffered a sidewall cut, which is why it is running on this space-saver spare wheel right now... the damaged tire will need to be replaced because the sidewall cut cannot be repaired.”
Dashboard layout
Strongly negativebased on 6 reviews
“The steering has full touch-like controls, but buttons - when we're turning the wheel around for a turn, this thing gets pressed accidentally, meaning boost mode or one-pedal drive gets activated by accident while turning.”
Connected car features
Generally negativebased on 14 reviews
“Electric seat, ventilated seats, memory function - all necessary, but the memory function sometimes becomes problematic, the system's memory changes sometimes. Even after updates, the difference isn't always consistent.”
Fit & finish
Mixed reviewsbased on 14 reviews
“Getting in/out, mud gets on the back of your leg - wearing white pants and getting out has felt like a real issue. You basically can't touch this car if you're wearing white; the inside is white too, can't touch it in white either.”
