Mahindra's flagship EVs, the BE 6 and XEV 9e, have garnered a positive reception in India. The fully electric SUVs also registered several milestones, like receiving 10,000 deliveries in 70 days and more. According to reports, Mahindra is planning to introduce new variants for the XEV 9e, the homologation documents for which have been leaked.
Currently, the Mahindra XEV 9e has Pack One, Pack One Above, Pack Two, Pack Three Select, and Pack Three battery trims available in the Indian market. However, the recently leaked homologation documents suggest that Mahindra is trying to diversify the XEV 9e offering by introducing more battery pack combinations for the all-electric SUV.
