Mahindra & Mahindra has officially launched its latest SUV, the Mahindra XUV 7XO, in the Indian market. This new model is essentially a comprehensive facelift of the popular XUV 700 and marks the brand's next combustion-engine vehicle to adopt the updated 'XO' naming strategy, following the XUV 3XO.
Pricing and Variant Lineup
The new Mahindra XUV 7XO enters the market with an ex-showroom price starting from Rs 13.99 lakh. The SUV is offered in a total of six distinct variants to cater to a wide range of buyers: AX, AX3, AX5, AX7, AX7T (Tech), and the top-spec AX7L (Luxury). The entry-level AX variant is priced between Rs 13.66 lakh and Rs 14.96 lakh, while the flagship AX7L commands a price tag ranging from Rs 22.47 lakh to Rs 24.92 lakh (all prices ex-showroom).
