Mahindra XUV 7XO : Mahindra has done it again, folks. The XUV 7XO isn’t just a facelift of the beloved XUV700—it’s a bold evolution packed with tech that feels straight out of the future, all while keeping that rugged Indian soul intact.
Launched in early January 2026 at a tempting starting price of Rs 13.66 lakh (ex-showroom), this seven-seater is already turning heads on our chaotic roads, promising to shake up the mid-size SUV segment.
A Fresh Face with Aggressive Swagger
Picture this: you’re cruising through Ludhiana’s bustling streets, and heads turn as the XUV 7XO glides by.
The front gets a dramatic piano black grille with those sharp, talon-like accents that scream premium without trying too hard.
Bi-LED projector headlamps integrated with sleek LED DRLs light up the night, flanked by R18 diamond-cut alloys that add just the right bling.
From the side, roof rails and a subtle rear spoiler hint at its adventure-ready stance, while the rear welcomes you with connected LED taillamps for that modern vibe.
Mahindra calls it evolutionary design, but honestly, it feels like they’ve taken the XUV700’s charm and dialed it up to match today’s demanding tastes.
Available in fresh shades like a warm tan-and-ivory interior theme, it blends style with everyday practicality seamlessly.
Cabin That Feels Like Luxury on Wheels
Step inside, and it’s like entering a high-end lounge. The headline-grabber? A coast-to-coast triple 10.25-inch HD screen setup—driver display, infotainment, and passenger screen—all powered by the snappy AdrenoX system with wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Alexa doing over 60 tricks.
No lag, no fuss; it’s smooth as butter, even when the kids are blasting cartoons on the passenger side.
Seats? Ventilated front and second-row ones in top trims, with powered adjustments, memory functions, and a boss mode for the rear to slide the front passenger seat forward—pure genius for those long family drives.
Add a panoramic skyroof, leatherette upholstery, ambient lighting, and a 16-speaker Harman Kardon setup with Dolby Atmos, and you’ve got a cabin that punches way above its price.
Space is generous in the first two rows, with the third row handling shorter trips just fine. Dual-zone AC with quiet mode keeps everyone chill, literally.
Powertrains Built for Indian Roads
Under the hood, Mahindra sticks to winners: a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol belting 200bhp and a torquey 2.2-litre diesel at 182bhp with 450Nm punch.
Pair them with manuals, automatics, or even AWD on select diesels, and you’ve got options for city crawls or highway hauls. Expect around 15kmpl from petrol and 17kmpl from diesel (ARAI figures), solid for a big beast like this.
The real magic? Revised suspension with frequency-dependent damping—those DaVinci dampers iron out potholes like they’re nothing, making bad roads feel like highways.
It’s composed at speed, handles corners with confidence, and the diesel’s low-end grunt makes overtaking a breeze. Fuel efficiency holds up in real-world tests too, especially if you ease off the throttle.
Safety Net Like No Other
Mahindra boasts over 120 safety features, with 75 standard across variants—six (up to seven) airbags, ESP, hill hold/descent, and TPMS as basics.
But the star is Level 2 ADAS with 17 functions: adaptive cruise, lane keep assist, auto emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and traffic sign recognition, all visualized on-screen.
A 540-degree camera, driver drowsiness alert, and frameless electrochromic IRVM add layers of reassurance. Engineered for a 5-star Bharat NCAP, it feels like the safest bet in its class.
