Mahindra has already confirmed this development but hasn’t revealed the exact powertrain options. All the recent developments have have indicated that it will be launched with multiple drivetrain options. We can expect multiple battery pack options with the XUV.e9. Both single motor RWD and dual motor AWD variants have been tipped to be introduced by the rumor mill.

Contradicting the previous details, a fresh report indicated Mahindra could launch the XUV.e9 with just single motor RWD (Rear-wheel-drive) option. Primary reason anticipated is the brand’s plan to bring this premium-class SUV with an unbeatable pricing in the segment.
