Mahindra Adds Custom Drive Mode to XEV 9S Pack Three After Suspension Feedback

The update targets media criticism of the Pack Three’s soft adaptive suspension.

Overview

  • The new Custom setting lets drivers configure powertrain, steering, suspension and climate independently.
  • Availability is limited to Pack Three variants with adaptive dampers, while Pack One and Pack Two with passive dampers do not receive it.
  • Production vehicles now include the feature from the factory, with customer deliveries reported to have started on January 26.
  • Early reviews found Race mode reduced vertical body movement but also sharpened responses and increased energy use, which was less suitable for everyday driving.
  • Mahindra has not confirmed a retrofit path for existing Pack Three owners, though reports suggest a possible OTA or dealership update.
