Expected Price of Mahindra XUV 7XO Facelift
Currently, the Mahindra XUV700 is priced between ₹13.66 lakh and ₹23.71 lakh (ex-showroom). Due to the added features and technology upgrades, the XUV 7XO is expected to be priced slightly higher than the outgoing model. Once launched, it will compete with strong rivals such as the MG Hector, Hyundai Alcazar, and Tata Safari in the premium mid-size SUV segment.
Mahindra XUV 7XO Exterior Design Changes
During its testing phase, the Mahindra XUV 7XO has been spotted multiple times on Indian roads, revealing several design updates. The facelifted SUV will feature a more upright multi-slat front grille, new dual-pod LED projector headlamps, a sharper air dam, and a redesigned front bumper with a wider skid plate. At the rear, it is expected to get connected LED tail-lamps, a refreshed bumper, and 18-inch alloy wheels. Mahindra is also likely to introduce new monotone and dual-tone exterior colour options.
Interior and Technology Updates in XUV 7XO
One of the biggest highlights of the XUV 7XO facelift is the interior upgrade. The SUV is expected to come with a new triple-screen display setup, significantly enhancing the cabin’s premium and tech-focused appeal. This setup will improve infotainment, digital instrumentation, and connected-car features, aligning with Mahindra’s focus on modern connectivity and driver assistance technology.
Mahindra XUV700 Facelift Engine and Performance
In terms of performance, Mahindra is likely to retain the existing engines from the current XUV700. The XUV 7XO is expected to continue with the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and the 2.2-litre diesel engine. These engines will be offered with six-speed manual and torque-converter automatic transmissions. Mahindra may also introduce its mild-hybrid technology with the facelift to improve fuel efficiency and driving dynamics.
Safety Features and ADAS Updates
Safety will remain a key strength of the XUV 7XO. Standard safety features such as dual airbags, ABS with EBD, reverse parking sensors, speed alert system, and seatbelt reminders are expected to be carried forward. The existing Level 2 ADAS suite could receive updates with additional or refined features, further strengthening the SUV’s safety credentials in the segment.
Pre-Booking Options and Variants
Mahindra has confirmed that customers can pre-book the XUV 7XO through authorized dealerships and online platforms. Buyers will have the flexibility to select their preferred dealership, fuel type, and transmission at the time of booking. The SUV will be offered in petrol and diesel variants, each available with manual and automatic gearbox options.
