Mahindra has raised prices by up to 2.7% from July 10, 2026, with the electric XEV 9S rising ₹70,000 while the Scorpio N, BE 6 and XEV 9e stay unchanged.
Key facts
- Effective: 10 July 2026
- Biggest hike: XEV 9S, up ₹70,000
- Bolero base up ₹49,000 to ₹8.49 lakh
- Unchanged: Scorpio N, XUV 3XO EV, BE 6, XEV 9e
- Second Mahindra hike of 2026 (first in April)
- Reason: rising commodity/input costs (company-stated)
If you're deciding between the electric XEV 9S and Mahindra's petrol-diesel SUVs this week, the numbers just changed. Mahindra raised prices across most of its range from 10 July 2026, but the increase is uneven. The XEV 9S jumped the most at ₹70,000, while the popular Scorpio N and most electric models escaped untouched. All prices below are ex-showroom (that means before road tax, insurance and registration).
Who pays more? Who's spared
Most Mahindra petrol and diesel (ICE means Internal Combustion Engine, or regular fuel-powered) models now cost more. The XUV 3XO, Bolero, Bolero Neo, Thar, Thar Roxx, Scorpio Classic and XUV 7XO all got costlier. But two groups got lucky. The Scorpio N stays at its old price. And on the electric side, only the XEV 9S went up; the XUV 3XO EV, BE 6 and XEV 9e held firm. That last bit is a surprise, since input-cost hikes usually hit EVs too.
XEV 9S takes the biggest hit at ₹70,000
The electric XEV 9S saw the steepest rise in the whole lineup. Its starting price is up by ₹70,000. It now costs ₹20.65 lakh to ₹29.95 lakh, against the earlier ₹19.95 lakh to ₹29.45 lakh. So the entry variant took the full ₹70,000, while the top trim rose ₹50,000. If this seven-seat electric SUV was on your shortlist, you now pay more for the same car. No features or specs have changed with the price move.
The unchanged trio holds the line
Three electric models stay exactly where they were. The XEV 9e, the BE 6 and the smaller XUV 3XO EV all kept their old prices. The Scorpio N also stays put at ₹13.49 lakh to ₹24.95 lakh. This matters if you were comparing the XEV 9S with the XEV 9e or BE 6. Those two got no hike, while their electric sibling did. So the price gap between them just got smaller in the buyer's favour.
Revised prices: old vs new
Here are the new ex-showroom prices after 10 July 2026. XEV 9S: ₹20.65 lakh to ₹29.95 lakh (was ₹19.95 lakh to ₹29.45 lakh, up ₹70,000 at the base). Bolero: now starts at ₹8.49 lakh, base up ₹49,000. XUV 3XO (ICE): ₹7.79 lakh to ₹15.04 lakh. Thar: ₹10.32 lakh to ₹18 lakh. XUV 7XO: ₹13.99 lakh to ₹25.79 lakh. The Bolero Neo, Thar Roxx and Scorpio Classic also went up, though exact numbers weren't shared. On-road prices will be higher, since road tax, registration and insurance get added and they vary by state.
XEV 9S vs XUV 7XO: the odd gap in Mahindra's own stable
Here's the odd part worth noting. Both are big Mahindra SUVs, but one is electric and one runs on fuel. The XEV 9S base jumped ₹70,000. The XUV 7XO saw a smaller rise, now topping out at ₹25.79 lakh. So the electric SUV took the heavier increase this round. That's unusual, because EVs are taxed differently and often shielded from such hikes. If you were weighing the electric XEV 9S against the petrol-diesel XUV 7XO, the price case for the ICE car just got a touch stronger.
Why now, and how it stacks on April
Mahindra said the increase is to cover higher input costs (the raw materials and parts that go into making cars). This is the company's second price revision of 2026, after an earlier one in April. So for budgeting, remember these hikes add up. A buyer who waited from early 2026 now faces both the April and July increases together. The total rise is up to 2.7%, which works out to the ₹49,000 to ₹70,000 figures on the models hit hardest.
Buy now or wait?
Quick maths first. A ₹50,000 to ₹70,000 hike adds roughly ₹1,200 to ₹1,500 a month to your EMI (Equated Monthly Installment, the monthly payment on a car loan) at about 9.5% interest. That's modest per month, but it sits on top of April's rise. If the Scorpio N, BE 6 or XEV 9e was on your list, you caught a break; no reason to rush. But XEV 9S shoppers now pay ₹70,000 more, and festive-season discounts are unlikely before September. If you can wait till the festive months, you may claw some of that back. If you need the car now, the extra EMI is small enough to live with.
