05, January 2026. By -Kaushik

The wait is finally over! Mahindra has officially shaken the Indian automotive market once again with the launch of the Mahindra XUV 7XO. Essentially the highly anticipated facelift of the legendary XUV700, the 7XO is more than just a name change—it’s a massive tech and design upgrade.
​Starting at an aggressive introductory price of ₹13.66 Lakh (ex-showroom), the XUV 7XO is designed to dominate the mid-size SUV segment. Whether you are a tech enthusiast or a long-distance cruiser, here is everything you need to know about this new beast.

Futuristic Design: A Bold New Identity
​The first thing you’ll notice about the Mahindra XUV 7XO is its striking road presence. Taking inspiration from Mahindra’s upcoming electric “XEV” series, the 7XO features:
​New Front Grille: A refreshed look with stylized vertical elements and the signature Twin Peaks logo.
​7-Shaped DRLs: Sharper, wrap-around LED Daytime Running Lights that give it a “predator” look.
​Revised Lighting: New trapezoidal LED projector headlamps and redesigned connected LED taillights.
​Alloy Upgrades: Freshly designed 18-inch (and 19-inch on top trims) diamond-cut alloy wheels.

Segment-First Triple-Screen Interior
​Step inside, and the XUV 7XO feels like a cockpit from the future. The biggest highlight is the Triple-Screen Dashboard Setup, a first for an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) SUV in this segment.
​12.3-inch Digital Driver Display: Crystal clear navigation and ADAS data.
​12.3-inch Main Infotainment: Powered by the new Adrenox+ system with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto.
​12.3-inch Co-Driver Screen: A dedicated entertainment screen for the front passenger to watch videos or manage apps.

Premium Comfort & “Boss Mode”
​Mahindra hasn’t just focused on screens; they’ve elevated luxury. The cabin features a premium Lumina and Chestnut Brown theme.
​Boss Mode: Rear passengers can now electrically adjust the front passenger seat to create massive legroom—perfect for chauffeur-driven owners.
​16-Speaker Harman Kardon System: Paired with Dolby Atmos, providing a 1,400W theater-like audio experience.
​Skyroof: The massive panoramic sunroof continues to make the cabin feel incredibly airy.

Unmatched Performance: mStallion and mHawk Engines
​Under the hood, the XUV 7XO retains its powerful and proven heart. You get two main engine choices:
​2.0L mStallion Turbo-Petrol: Delivering a class-leading 197 bhp and 380 Nm of torque.
​2.2L mHawk Diesel: Producing up to 182 bhp and 450 Nm of torque.
​Both engines come with 6-speed Manual and 6-speed Torque Converter Automatic options. For those who love off-roading, the AWD (All-Wheel Drive) system is available on select diesel variants.

Level 2 ADAS and Safety
​Mahindra continues its streak of safety excellence. The XUV 7XO comes with:
​Level 2 ADAS: Features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, and Autonomous Emergency Braking.
​540-Degree Camera: An upgrade from the 360-view, allowing you to see “through” the car’s floor for tricky off-road paths.
​7 Airbags: Comprehensive protection for all passengers.

Pricing and Variants
​The Mahindra XUV 7XO is available in six main variants: AX, AX3, AX5, AX7, AX7T, and AX7L.

Variant Starting Price (Ex-Showroom)
Petrol Range Starts at ₹13.66 Lakh
Diesel Range Starts at ₹14.96 Lakh
Top-Spec AX7L Up to ₹24.11 Lakh

Note: Introductory prices are valid for the first 40,000 bookings.
​Verdict: Is It Worth It?
​With a starting price identical to its predecessor but offering significantly more tech, better suspension, and a futuristic interior, the Mahindra XUV 7XO is undoubtedly the new benchmark in the SUV segment.
​Bookings open on January 14, 2026! Are you ready to bring this beast home?
