Mahindra has introduced the new XUV 7XO SUV in the Indian market, with introductory ex-showroom prices starting at Rs. 13.66 lakh for the petrol variants and Rs. 14.96 lakh for the diesel range. These prices are applicable to the first 40,000 customers. Bookings will open on 14 January for an amount of Rs. 21,000. The XUV 7XO is essentially a mid-cycle update of the XUV700, featuring updated styling, a refreshed cabin, and added features.
On the design front, the 2026 Mahindra XUV 7XO sports a revised grille, newly designed projector headlamps, reworked front and rear bumpers, LED tail lamps sourced from the XEV 9S, and a new set of alloy wheels.
The cabin, especially in the top-spec AX7L variant, receives a new Lumina and chestnut brown interior theme, a redesigned two-spoke steering wheel, and a triple-screen dashboard layout. Additional highlights include optional rear entertainment screens, a Harman Kardon sound system with Dolby Atmos, an electric boss mode for the front passenger seat, and rear sun blinds. Comfort and technology features include a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, dual-zone climate control, AdrenoX connected car technology, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
In terms of safety, the XUV 7XO comes equipped with seven airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, and boasts a five-star BNCAP crash test rating.
Powertrain options remain unchanged, with the XUV 7XO continuing to offer the 2.0-litre mStallion turbo-petrol and 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engines. Both engines are available with six-speed manual and torque converter automatic transmissions. The petrol engine produces 197bhp and 380Nm of torque, while the diesel engine delivers 182bhp and 450Nm.
