Folks, with the booking date nearing, I am super confused about the color to pick. I have striked out Desert Myst, Forest Green and Ruby Velvet. Any help on how would you guys rate between: Tango Red, Everest White, Nebula Blue and Stealth Black? Which one you think suits the 9e better?

I have only seen XEV 9E in Tango red color in real life. I have seen Thar Roxx and 3XO in Nebula Blue and the color looked nice and different on both cars. It is darker shade of blue, looks blackish under shades and will give better hints of blue in bright sunlight (as compared to Midnight Black of XUV700).

My color preference for XEV 9E in order are - Nebula Blue, Tango Red, Everest White and finally Ruby Velvet. If "Ruby Velvet" resembles Opulent Purple shade of XUV500 then it will be my first color choice.

I’ve seen all the colours. Red is the best. Blue looks good too but the issue with both these colours is that they don’t age well. So, for me, white is a good bet.

Have you seen ruby velvet? I am trying to find at least a picture of it from somewhere but have failed till now. I'm keen on the color but not able to decide without seeing it once.

In 9e I have seen all colours in person, except Desert Myst & Ruby Velvet. Ruby Velvet, I think they haven't produced yet, as even their sales team who went to MSPT have not seen that color. Though I have unofficially booked the Everest White, I am still dilly dallying considering Nebula Blue, Tango Red & Stealth Black. Going to the showroom again today with family to make a decision on the color.

Btw, today morning I saw multiple 9e's of the same color (Tango Red & Forest Green) reach the dealership. Looks like the first lot is getting dispatched and will be delivered sooner than March end. And it also appears that at least in our city, 9e's are getting dispatched more than BE6.

I have seen and test driven the desert myst. Took pics too if you'd like to see. I am torn between desert myst, nebula blue and ruby velvet. Maintainence of light colors is pushing towards the desert myst, but ruby velvet intrigues me. I am ok to compromise on color if that speeds up delivery though, so I am afraid to book the ruby velvet due to similar fear as what you mentioned about the color not being produced.
I also got this invite from the dealership I have unofficially booked at. Considering going as I think they might have more pieces and colors available to see due to the visit.

Can you post some pics of Desert Myst color on 9E as I have not seen it other than YouTube videos?

Found this on the official review thread:



The desert myst color doesn't suit the XEV 9e though! The XEV 9E looks S-E-X-Y in the red color!



On the other hand the BE 6 looks great in the Desert myst color!

Some pictures I clicked.













Red looks smashing in showroom conditions



Forest Green i did not click, looked subtle and good, but in general I like this color in cars like Roxx.

Today clicked some pictures of Deep Forest

Friends, has someone witnessed gold dawn color ? If so, do you recommend it over desert myst ? Do you have pics of gold dawn ? TIA

There are videos surfacing of the XEV 9E's airbags not deploying on accidents.

Some videos I've found:

The worst one came on Telegram today; unable to upload it here. Pretty badly hit, no airbags deployed.
