Mahindra XUV.e9 tested ahead of India launch

The Mahindra XUV.e9 has once again been spotted testing on Indian roads, giving us a glimpse of features like split LED headlights and alloy wheels, similar to the concept car shown in 2023. The test mule also featured dynamic turn signals (front and rear) in an inverted L shape. The front indicators double as connected LED DRLs, while the rear indicators act as tail lights connected via a light bar. The ADAS radar in the middle of the front bumper is another interesting feature. Previous spy shots have revealed that the SUV will feature a shark fin antenna, square wheel arches and a rear parking camera with sensors. Although Mahindra has not made any official announcement yet, the electric SUV Coupe may be launched in the first half of 2025.
