Mahindra brings the XUV700 back with full force — high-tech, bold design and value-packed variants at an attractive starting price. See what you get.
The Mahindra XUV700 has once again captured attention in India’s SUV market. Known for its blend of performance, technology, and premium comfort, the XUV700 continues to evolve — and its latest 2025 update brings even more excitement. With new features, smart tech upgrades, and competitive pricing, Mahindra is set to strengthen its dominance in the mid-size SUV segment.
Launch, Pricing & Variants
Mahindra has officially launched the 2025 XUV700 lineup in India with several variants catering to both family buyers and enthusiasts.
The starting price for the base model begins at around ₹14.49 lakh (ex-showroom), while top-end models can go up to approximately ₹26 lakh depending on configuration and drivetrain.
Key trims include:
- MX – Entry-level variant with essential safety and comfort features
- AX3 – Adds infotainment and connected features
- AX5 & AX5 Select (AX5 S) – Popular mid variants with a balance of value and premium features
- AX7 & AX7L (Luxury Pack) – Fully loaded top trims with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), panoramic sunroof, and more
Buyers can choose between 5-seater and 7-seater configurations, offering flexibility for families or adventure-oriented users.
Engine & Performance Options
The 2025 XUV700 continues to offer two powerful engine options that have made it a benchmark in its category:
- 2.0L Turbo Petrol (mStallion)
- Power: 200 hp
- Torque: 380 Nm
- Transmission: 6-speed manual / 6-speed automatic
- Known for smooth acceleration and strong highway performance.
- 2.2L Turbo Diesel (mHawk)
- Power: 155 hp (MX variant) / up to 185 hp (AX variants)
- Torque: up to 450 Nm (automatic)
- Transmission: 6-speed manual / 6-speed automatic
- Available with both FWD and AWD (All-Wheel Drive) options.
The diesel engine, especially in its higher tunes, delivers outstanding torque and drivability, while the petrol version is refined and responsive.
Mahindra also offers Drive Modes — Zip, Zap, and Zoom — that alter throttle response and steering feel for a more tailored driving experience.
Interior, Comfort & Infotainment
Step inside the Mahindra XUV700, and it feels nothing short of a premium European SUV.
The dashboard layout is clean and modern, featuring dual 10.25-inch HD screens — one for the instrument cluster and the other for infotainment.
Interior highlights include:
- Panoramic Skyroof for an airy cabin feel
- Dual-zone automatic climate control
- Premium leatherette upholstery
- Electrically adjustable driver seat with memory function
- Ambient lighting for a luxury touch
- Wireless charging and multiple USB ports
- Smart keyless entry and push-button start
The AdrenoX connected car system powers the infotainment unit, offering over 60 connected features including remote vehicle control, live location tracking, and voice command functionality with Alexa integration.
Advanced Technology & Safety
Mahindra’s XUV700 is one of the most technologically advanced SUVs in its class.
It comes equipped with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), bringing features usually found in much higher-end vehicles.
ADAS features include:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Lane Keep Assist
- Forward Collision Warning
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Smart Pilot Assist (semi-autonomous driving)
- Traffic Sign Recognition
- High Beam Assist
Apart from ADAS, it includes:
- 6 or 7 airbags (depending on variant)
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
- Traction Control
- Hill Hold & Hill Descent Control
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
- 360-degree camera system
With a 5-star Global NCAP safety rating, the XUV700 sets new benchmarks for safety in Indian SUVs.
Exterior Design & Presence
The XUV700 carries forward Mahindra’s new-age design language — bold, muscular, and instantly recognizable.
The signature twin peak logo sits proudly on a large chrome-finished grille, flanked by C-shaped LED DRLs and sleek headlamps.
Strong body lines, flush door handles, and dynamic alloy wheel designs give it a premium, futuristic look.
At the rear, LED tail lamps and a sculpted tailgate give it a wide stance, reinforcing its SUV appeal.
The XUV700’s overall design perfectly balances sophistication with ruggedness.
