Mahindra has launched the Mahindra XUV 7XO, a facelifted version of the popular Mahindra XUV700, starting at Rs 13.66 lakh ex-showroom. This premium 7-seater SUV blends evolutionary styling, advanced tech, and proven performance to appeal to Indian families seeking value-packed luxury. Expect test drives from January 6 and bookings opening January 14, with deliveries rolling out soon after.
Engine & Performance
Under the hood, the Mahindra XUV 7XO continues with trusted powertrains that balance performance and efficiency:
2.0-litre turbo petrol
~200 PS & 380 Nm output
6-speed manual or automatic options
2.2-litre turbo diesel
Up to ~185 PS & 450 Nm torque
Manual or automatic with optional AWD on higher trims
These engines are smooth, reliable, and well-matched to the SUV’s size — capable on highways and city traffic alike.
Interior:
Step inside the Mahindra XUV 7XO and the transformation is even more striking. Mahindra has embraced the future with a cabin that feels more like a high-end lounge than a traditional SUV.
A segment-first feature for an ICE SUV:
12.3-inch digital instrument cluster
12.3-inch central infotainment
12.3-inch front passenger screen
This “coast-to-coast” screen layout brings a software-rich experience, complete with Mahindra’s AdrenoX+ connected system, Alexa voice control, and smart features like navigation, media, and vehicle info.
Exterior:
If you glance at the Mahindra XUV 7XO on the road, it’s familiar — but noticeably smarter and more contemporary.
Here’s what’s new:
Redesigned Front Fascia: A bold new grille with vertical chrome slats and Mahindra’s signature Twin Peaks logo gives it a stronger face.
LED Lighting: New LED projector headlamps along with C-shaped DRLs enhance visibility and style.
Connected LED Tail Lamps: At the rear, the light bar links the tail lamps for a more premium look.
Fresh Alloy Wheels: Sleek 18-inch (or available 19-inch) dual-tone alloys complete the stance.
These changes refresh the personality of the SUV, making it stand out without losing the strong road presence that Mahindra XUV 7xo owners appreciate.
Comfort & Convenience:
Mahindra has focused on passenger comfort:
Panoramic sunroof for airy cabin feel.
Dual-zone climate control keeps this 7-seater pleasant in diverse weather.
Ventilated & powered seats, with heated options in higher trims.
“Boss Mode” — a cool feature that electronically moves the front passenger seat forward to give rear seat passengers more legroom.
Ambient lighting & premium brown-tan interior themes accentuate the luxurious feel.
A 16-speaker Harman Kardon system with Dolby Atmos turns the cabin into a mobile theatre. Rear occupants also get BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) connectivity for their entertainment.
Safety & Driver-Assist Tech
Safety has always been a strong suit for Mahindra’s SUVs:
The Mahindra XUV700 earned a 5-star Global NCAP rating, and the 7XO is engineered to match or exceed that benchmark.
540° camera system — an upgraded surround-view camera that even shows under-body views for tricky parking or off-road confidence.
Level-2 ADAS: Advanced driver assist including adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking.
Seven airbags, ESC, TPMS, ISOFIX mounts, and hill hold assist round off the safety suite.
Mahindra’s emphasis here is practical safety — tech that supports drivers in real-world conditions — not just flashy specs.
Conclusion
The Mahindra XUV 7XO arrives as a confident leap forward — a fusion of proven SUV capability and next-generation technology. Whether you’re a long-time XUV fan or a new buyer thinking SUV for your family, it offers a 5 compelling mix of:
1.Bold new looks 2.Spacious and tech-rich interior 3.Practical safety and driver aids
4. Strong engines with choice of transmission 5.Value-for-money pricing
It’s not just a facelift — it’s a vision of how Mahindra sees the future of comfortable, connected SUVs in India.
