Mahindra has officially launched the XUV 7XO in India, positioning it as the updated successor to the popular XUV700. Prices for the new mid-size SUV start at Rs 13.66 lakh (ex-showroom). With refreshed styling, a tech-loaded cabin and advanced safety features, the XUV 7XO aims to strengthen Mahindra’s presence in the competitive SUV segment.
The Mahindra XUV 7XO price begins at Rs 13.66 lakh, making it competitively placed against rivals like the Tata Safari, Hyundai Alcazar, MG Hector Plus and Toyota Hycross. Rather than being an all-new model, the XUV 7XO is a comprehensive update of the XUV700, aligning with Mahindra’s new naming strategy after the XUV 3XO.

The exterior design takes inspiration from Mahindra’s electric concepts, the XEV 9E and XEV 9S. Key highlights include:
New angular LED headlamps with boomerang-style DRLs
Reworked front grille
Freshly designed alloy wheels
Inside, the cabin gets a major overhaul with a more premium look. The highlight is a three-screen dashboard layout, comprising:
Digital instrument cluster
Central infotainment touchscreen
Dedicated front passenger display
A new two-spoke steering wheel and touch-based HVAC controls further modernise the interior.
The SUV comes loaded with premium features, including:
Panoramic sunroof
Ventilated front seats
Electrically adjustable front passenger seat with Boss Mode
Wireless phone charging
Dual-zone climate control
16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system with Dolby Atmos
The Mahindra XUV 7XO engine options remain unchanged:
2.0-litre turbo-petrol producing 200bhp
2.2-litre diesel producing up to 185bhp
Both engines are offered with 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic gearboxes. Select diesel variants continue to offer AWD, while Mahindra has retuned the suspension to improve ride comfort.
Safety remains a key focus area. The XUV 7XO offers:
6 airbags (standard)
540-degree camera system
Electronic parking brake with auto-hold
ISOFIX child seat mounts
Level 2 ADAS, including adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and autonomous emergency braking
Mahindra says the SUV has been engineered to meet five-star Bharat NCAP safety benchmarks, similar to the earlier XUV700’s Global NCAP rating.
The AX base variant comes well-equipped with:
LED lighting
6 airbags
Cruise control
Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
Standard safety and connectivity features
Once launched, the Mahindra XUV 7XO will take on established players such as the Hyundai Alcazar, MG Hector, Tata Safari and Toyota Hycross. With aggressive pricing, strong safety credentials and a feature-rich package, Mahindra is aiming to capture a sizeable share of India’s mid-size SUV market.
