Mahindra has launched the new XUV 7XO in India at a starting price of Rs 13.66 lakh (ex-showroom). This introductory price is valid for the first 40,000 units. The XUV 7XO is essentially a facelifted version of the XUV700.
Pre-bookings for the SUV were closed before the launch. Mahindra has announced that fresh bookings will open on January 14, 2026. Deliveries for select variants will also begin on the same day, while other variants will be delivered in phases until April.
Exterior Design Updates
The XUV 7XO features noticeable design changes at the front. It includes revised LED headlamps with boomerang-shaped daytime running lights, a new front grille, and updated tail-lights with hexagonal detailing. The side profile is largely similar to the XUV700, except for the newly designed alloy wheels.
Interior and Key Features
The SUV gets a refreshed upholstery color scheme and a new triple-screen layout. This includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a 12.3-inch passenger display.
One of the noticeable features on the XUV 7XO is India’s first Alexa and ChatGPT integration, offering smart hands-free chats for a smoother drive. It also comes with AdrenoX+ Connect built-in on all variants, delivering 93 smart connected features through one ecosystem.
