Rear-Seat Entertainment
The biggest addition on this trim is the pair of second-row screens. They let rear passengers watch content or use apps independently, which is useful on long family trips. Combined with the triple-screen dashboard up front, the Pack Three Above offers the most complete infotainment setup in the XEV 9S range.
Secure 360 Live View
All higher trims record the car’s surroundings, but only the Pack Three Above adds a live view function. Through the connected app, you can check a real-time view around the parked car from your phone. This is helpful in unfamiliar parking areas or when the car is left unattended for long periods.
Cabin Ambience and Materials
Inside, the Pack Three Above gets leatherette upholstery and multi-colour ambient lighting. Together, they give the cabin a more premium feel than lower trims. Also, the openable panoramic sunroof, a key XEV 9S highlight, brightens the space for all three rows.
Ride, Comfort and Audio
The Pack Three Above keeps every feature from the Pack Three. This includes intelligent adaptive suspension, which adjusts damping to the road in real time. Also, ventilated front seats, a 6-way powered driver seat and the 16-speaker Harman Kardon system with Dolby Atmos come included. In addition, a 360-degree camera helps when parking this large SUV.
Performance and Charging
The 210 kW (282 bhp) rear motor produces 380 Nm and takes the XEV 9S from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.0 seconds. On a 180 kW DC charger, the 79 kWh battery charges from 20 to 80% in about 20 minutes. At home, an 11.2 kW wall box needs about 8 hours for a full charge. The battery also comes with a lifetime warranty for the first private owner.
Price Position and Value
At Rs 29.95 lakh, the Pack Three Above stays just below Rs 30 lakh. As a result, buyers in Maharashtra avoid the extra road tax charged on EVs above that mark. Compared with the Pack Three, it costs Rs 2.1 lakh more, while the battery, motor and suspension remain identical. Therefore, it makes most sense for families who will regularly use the rear screens and live-view features. For a full trim comparison, see the XEV 9S variants page or Mahindra’s official website.
