Mahindra has confirmed that the upcoming XEV 9S—its first three-row electric SUV—will come equipped with a premium Harman Kardon audio system. A new teaser reveals that the system will offer multiple sound modes and will work in sync with the SUV’s multi-colour ambient lighting, creating a more immersive cabin atmosphere.
This move continues Mahindra’s premium in-cabin strategy, following the XEV 9e and BE 6, both of which already feature Harman Kardon setups.

- Multi-colour ambient lighting synced with sound modes
