Mahindra demonstrates quick responsiveness and adaptability by rolling out the first update for the XEV 9S soon after its launch
Just one month after commencing deliveries of the XEV 9S, Mahindra has begun rolling out updates to improve it. Based on the feedback received from automotive journalists, the company has introduced a new ‘Custom’ drive mode.
As the name suggests, the Custom drive mode allows the driver to extensively tweak the character of the Mahindra XEV 9S. The user can choose individual settings for various components of the vehicle such as the drive unit, steering, and suspension.
The Custom drive mode gives the driver the freedom to combine attributes of different drive modes. For example, they can tackle twisty roads by making the suspension firmer with Race mode while keeping the drive unit and steering in Comfort mode for smoother responses.
