Mahindra introduces XEV 9e Cineluxe Edition with cosmetic updates
Mahindra has introduced the XEV 9e Cineluxe Edition with a price tag of Rs. 29.35 lakhs (ex-showroom). Bookings for the special edition open today (2nd March), with deliveries scheduled to begin from 10th March, 2026.
The Cineluxe Edition is derived from the Pack Three variant of the XEV 9e and is exclusively paired with the larger 79kWh battery pack. While the mechanical package remains unchanged, the edition brings subtle styling tweaks and a distinctive interior theme.
Exterior revisions are limited to cosmetic enhancements. The Cineluxe Edition introduces two new monotone paint finishes – Satin Black and Satin White. The latter features gloss-black cladding for contrast, while a ‘Cineluxe’ badge on the rear pillar distinguishes it from other trims.
Beyond these changes, the SUV retains the Pack Three’s visual elements, including 19-inch alloy wheels, full-LED lighting and a powered tailgate.
Inside, the Cineluxe Edition adopts a new Chestnut Brown and Nocturne Black dual-tone colour scheme. The contrast treatment extends across the dashboard, steering wheel, door trims and seats, with brown stitching on the predominantly black leatherette upholstery.
Feature content mirrors that of the standard Pack Three trim. The equipment list includes three high-definition digital displays, a 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system with Dolby Atmos, ambient lighting with multiple colour options, panoramic glass roof, wireless charging, surround-view cameras with surveillance mode and an augmented-reality head-up display. It also offers dedicated climate settings for pets and camping, along with selectable drive modes.
The Cineluxe Edition is offered solely with the 79kWh lithium-ion battery pack. The manufacturer claims a driving range of approximately 500 km on a full charge. Independent testing has indicated a real-world range closer to 456 km.
Power comes from a rear-mounted electric motor producing 286 HP and 380 Nm of torque. Performance figures remain unchanged, with a claimed 0-100 km/hr time of 7.45 seconds.
At Rs. 29.35 lakhs (ex-showroom), the Cineluxe Edition is positioned between the 59kWh Pack Three Select (Rs. 28.65 lakhs) and the 79kWh Pack Three (Rs. 31.25 lakhs).
Mahindra has not specified the charger bundled with this edition. In the standard range, buyers can opt for either a 7.2kW AC charger or an 11kW AC charger at additional cost.
