Mahindra & Mahindra has made a big splash in the automotive market. The company announced a massive response to its latest SUV launches. As of 2:00 PM on January 14, 2026, combined bookings for the new XUV 7XO and XEV 9S have soared past 90,000 units.
Record-Breaking Booking Value
The total booking value is staggering. Calculated at ex-showroom prices, it reaches an impressive Rs 20,500 crore. This figure highlights strong consumer interest in Mahindra's new offerings. Interested customers can secure their vehicle through two main channels. They can book online or visit authorized Mahindra dealerships. The booking amount for either SUV is set at Rs 21,000.
Delivery Timelines Begin
Deliveries for the XUV 7XO have already started. They commenced from today, January 14, 2026. For the XEV 9S, deliveries are scheduled to begin a bit later. The first units will roll out from January 26, 2026.
XEV 9S: Battery and Trim Details
The XEV 9S comes with multiple options to suit different needs. It is offered in four distinct trims. These are Pack One Above, Pack Two Above, Pack Three, and Pack Three Above. Mahindra provides three battery choices across this lineup.
A new addition has been made to the battery options. The company introduced a third battery choice for the XEV 9S. This is a 70kWh pack paired with a 245hp rear-mounted motor. However, this setup is not available on all variants. It is exclusive to the mid-range Pack Two Above trim.
This specific configuration delivers an excellent range. It achieves an ARAI-certified range of up to 600 kilometers. The base Pack One Above continues with the 59kWh battery unit. The larger 79kWh battery is offered more widely. It is available across the entire range of the XEV 9S.
Feature-Rich Cabin of the XEV 9S
The XEV 9S boasts a highly advanced and comfortable interior. It gets a triple 12.3-inch display setup. This includes a central touchscreen, a fully digital instrument cluster, and a dedicated screen for the front passenger.
Comfort and convenience features are plentiful. The SUV comes with dual-zone climate control and a panoramic sunroof. Multi-colour ambient lighting enhances the cabin atmosphere. Both front seats are 6-way powered for optimal adjustment.
Technology integration is a strong point. It features dual wireless charging pads. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come standard. An augmented reality head-up display projects vital information onto the windshield.
Entertainment is top-notch with a 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system. This system supports Dolby Atmos for an immersive sound experience. Front and rear seat ventilation ensures comfort in all weather conditions. A 540-degree camera provides excellent visibility around the vehicle.
Rear seat passengers are particularly well catered to. The SUV includes a BYOD mount for tablets. Two high-output 65W Type-C ports are provided for fast charging. There is even a separate wireless charging pad for rear occupants. The outer rear seats also get ventilation.
Despite this extensive list, one feature is notably absent. The XEV 9S does not include a powered tailgate. This is a minor omission in an otherwise feature-rich package.
XUV 7XO: Variants and Pricing
The newly launched XUV 7XO is offered in six different variants. These are AX, AX3, AX5, AX7, AX7T (Tech), and AX7L (Luxury). Pricing for the XUV 7XO starts from an attractive Rs 13.89 lakh (ex-showroom).
Features of the XUV 7XO
The XUV 7XO also comes packed with modern amenities. It features a triple screen setup similar to its electric sibling. Both front seats are 6-way powered. Ventilated seats are available for both front and rear passengers.
Ambient lighting, two wireless chargers, and a panoramic sunroof add to the luxury. A unique Boss Mode allows the front passenger seat to recline for extra comfort. The audio system is a 16-speaker Harman Kardon setup with Dolby Atmos.
Dual-zone climate control maintains a pleasant cabin temperature. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto ensure seamless smartphone connectivity.
Safety and Mechanical Specifications
Safety is a paramount concern for Mahindra. The XUV 7XO is equipped with Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). A 540-degree camera aids in parking and low-speed maneuvering.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and an electronic parking brake with auto-hold enhance driving safety. ISOFIX child seat anchors, a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and front and rear sensors are standard.
For challenging terrain, it includes hill descent control and hill hold assist. An auto-dimming interior rearview mirror (IRVM) reduces glare from following vehicles.
Under the hood, the XUV 7XO retains familiar powertrains. It is available with a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and a 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine. Buyers can choose between a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox. The diesel variant also offers an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) option for better traction.
Mahindra's latest launches demonstrate a strong commitment to innovation and customer value. The overwhelming booking numbers reflect market confidence in these new SUVs.
