3. Panoramic Sunroof As Standard

Compared to the XEV 9e, which offers a fixed glass roof from the Pack Two variant onwards, the new XEV 9S offers an openable panoramic sunroof on all variants. This gives even the base variant of the XEV 9S a higher perceived value compared to the XEV 9e SUV coupe.

4. Sliding And Ventilated 2nd Row Seats

While the XEV 9e offers reclining 2nd row seats, the new XEV 9S takes things a step further with 2nd row seats that can slide across rails to liberate more legroom. It also offers a multi-step recline function to make longer journeys more comfortable. Additionally, the top Pack Three Above variant also offers 2nd row seat ventilation, which is a useful feature for chauffeur-driven owners of the new XEV 9S.

5. Triple 12.3-Inch Screens

Like the XEV 9e, the XEV 9S offers a triple-screen layout as standard. The triple-screen layout consists of three 12.3-inch screens that serve as the driver’s display, infotainment system as well as a front co-passenger entertainment screen. Additionally, the XEV 9S also offers the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) device mounting provision for rear seat passengers from the Pack Two Above variant onwards.
