KATHMANDU: Agni Incorporated Pvt. Ltd. has officially launched the Mahindra XEV 9e electric SUV in Nepal. The launch took place during the ongoing NAIMA Mobility Expo at Bhrikutimandap.
The XEV 9e is Mahindra’s latest pure electric model. It was brought to Nepal a few months ago for testing. The vehicle has already received good feedback in India and is now being introduced in Nepal, South Africa and Australia.
In Nepal, the XEV 9e is priced at Rs 6.9 million.

Built for tough roads, the XEV 9e uses semi-active damper suspension. It also has 19-inch wheels and a ground clearance of 207 mm, making it suitable for both city and rough road driving.
