Mahindra XUV 7XO : Mahindra has unleashed the XUV 7XO, a facelifted powerhouse that’s turning heads across Indian roads with its bold looks and tech-loaded cabin.
Priced from Rs 13.66 lakh to Rs 24.92 lakh ex-showroom, this 7-seater beast builds on the XUV700’s legacy, packing fresh styling and over 120 safety features that make it a no-brainer for growing families.
Launched early 2026, it’s already dominating showrooms, blending rugged appeal with urban polish – perfect for highway hauls or city crawls.
Striking Design That Demands Attention
Slide behind the wheel of the XUV 7XO, and its evolved stance hits you first – sharper C-shaped LED tail lamps, redesigned LED headlights with fang-like DRLs, and a chunkier skid plate that screams adventure-ready.
At 4.7 meters long with 19-inch alloys on top trims, it towers over rivals while the dual-tone roof adds flair; colors like Everest White and Stealth Black look killer under streetlights.
The cabin feels premium with soft-touch materials, ambient lighting in 9 colors, and a floating triple 12.3-inch screen setup – driver display, infotainment, and passenger tablet that feels futuristic without overwhelming.
Ventilated front seats hug you on long drives, and the panoramic sunroof floods the space with light, making third-row kids grin ear-to-ear.
Powertrains Built for Every Road
Fire up the 2.0L turbo-petrol (182hp, 380Nm) or 2.2L diesel (up to 200hp, 450Nm), and the XUV 7XO surges with purpose – 0-100kmph in under 9 seconds on the diesel AT.
Six-speed manuals or torque-converter autos shift smoothly, with FWD standard and AWD on select diesel toppers for monsoon mud romps.
Real-world mileage impresses: diesel manuals hit 17kmpl ARAI, translating to 12-15kmpl mixed in tank tests; petrols manage 13-15kmpl without drama.
Drive modes – Zip, Zap, Zoom – tweak throttle for traffic or trails, and the suspension irons out potholes like a pro, keeping the cabin hushed at 120kmph.

Tech and Comfort That Wow
Inside, it’s a gadget paradise: AdrenoX Connect with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, 1400W Harman Kardon audio with Dolby Atmos blasting Bollywood bangers, and Alexa voice commands that actually listen.
Powered seats, air purifier, and dual-zone AC keep everyone cool; the third row folds flat for 700L boot space when empty.
Level-2 ADAS shines with adaptive cruise, lane keep, and auto braking tuned for chaotic Indian highways – a fatigue-killer on Mumbai-Pune runs.
The 540-degree camera is a game-changer, peering under the chassis for off-road obstacles; add seven airbags and ESP, and it’s engineered for 5-star Bharat NCAP glory.
Safety First, Always
Mahindra didn’t skimp here – over 75 standard safety bits across variants, from disc brakes all around to a rigid body shell.
The 540-cam wraps visibility like a cocoon, digital video recorder captures dash cams front and rear, and ISOFIX anchors make family duties easy.
ADAS features like forward collision warning adapt to our erratic traffic, while the electronic park brake with auto-hold eases parking in tight Delhi spots.
Owners rave about its planted feel in corners, with minimal body roll for a 7-seater – far safer than softer rivals in panic swerves.
Pricing and Buying in India
Value screams from the rooftops: base AX petrol at Rs 13.66 lakh, diesel AX3 around Rs 16.49 lakh, loaded AX7L Diesel AWD AT at Rs 24.92 lakh.
On-road in Delhi? Expect Rs 15.8-29 lakh with EMI deals and Rs 50,000 exchange bonuses flying now.
Pick from 26 variants in 6/7-seater configs; diesel ATs dominate sales for torque lovers. Book online or at 500+ dealers – waiting lists are building, so act fast for festive discounts up to Rs 1 lakh.
Stands Tall Against the Pack
Against Tata Safari (Rs 16-26 lakh), the 7XO undercuts on price while matching 5-star safety and adding AWD flair; Hyundai Alcazar lags in power, MG Hector Plus in refinement.
Jeep Meridian feels plusher but costs 30% more; users love the 7XO’s mileage edge and feature bang – “comfortable luxury under 15 lakh,” says one owner. Diesel ATs edge highway rivals, though petrols suit city folk better than thirsty Hector mills.
