No mechanical changes have been made to the EV either. It continues to be offered in 3 battery sizes – 59kWh, 70kWh, and 79kWh. The 59kWh battery pack comes with the entry-level Pack Above Trim, which is not available with the 6-seat layout. The 70kWh battery pack offers a 600km driving range, while the 79kWh variants can go up to 679km on a full charge. The single-electric motor generates a maximum power output of 245hp and 286hp on the 70kWh and 79kWh variants, respectively. All variants put out 380Nm of torque.

Final Thoughts

The standard XEV 9S range starts at Rs 19.95 lakh. The 11.2kW AC home charger demands a small premium. The EV rivals Kia Carens Clavis EV, Tata Harrier EV, and BYD eMax 7 in India.
