Indian automotive giant Mahindra & Mahindra has patented the exterior of its next all-electric coupe-SUV, the XUV.e9. The car itself won’t arrive in the market until next year, Rush Lane reports.
Back in 2022, the company previewed five all-electric concept cars created on a platform named INGLO – essentially Volkswagen’s MEB chassis adapted to the needs of the Indian market. The XUV.e9 was among those five concepts. You will find more images of it in the gallery below.
Judging by the patent image, the production version will be getting C-shaped daytime running lights and a solid light bar where the front fascia meets the hood.
According to unofficial reports, there will be a trio of 12.3-inch displays on the dashboard and a dual-spoke, multi-function steering wheel.
Power for the ride will be provided by two e-motors rated up to 300 PS (296 hp / 221 kW). As Mahindra’s next performance flagship, the XUV.e9 will be able to reach a top acceleration of 200 km/h (124 mph) and cover roughly 500 km (310 miles) on a charge.
