Nearly five years after introducing the XUV700, Mahindra has launched the XUV 7XO as its thoroughly updated successor. The XUV 7XO’s exterior is an evolution over the XUV700’s design but retains the same dimensions as the latter. However, the facelift has brought along new styling cues both on the exterior and interior while extending the premium look and feel of the XUV700.
2026 Mahindra XUV 7XO price and powertrains
Price: Rs 13.66 lakh-26.37 lakh, ex-showroom
The 2026 Mahindra XUV 7XO starts at Rs 13.66 lakh for the entry-level AX 7-seater MT variant, topping out at Rs 24.11 lakh for the AX7L 6-seater AT variant. Do note that the prices mentioned are only applicable to the first 40,000 customer deliveries, post which there will be a revision. The XUV 7XO is available in six trims: AX, AX3, AX5, AX7, AX7T (Tech) and AX7L (Luxury). Check the following table for a variant-wise breakdown of the XUV 7XO’s prices.
The Mahindra XUV 7XO goes up against other three-row midsize SUVs such as the Hyundai Alcazar, MG Hector Plus and Tata Safari. Like its rivals, the XUV 7XO is available with petrol and diesel engine options, along with manual and automatic transmission choices, depending on the trim. For further details on the Mahindra XUV 7XO’s powertrain specifications, check the following table.
The petrol-powered variants of the 2026 Mahindra XUV 7XO utilise a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol mill. Called the ‘mStallion’, this four-cylinder direct-injection engine churns out 203hp at 5,000rpm and 380Nm of torque, available in the 1,750-3,000rpm range.
Meanwhile, the XUV 7XO diesel gets the brand’s ‘mHawk’ engine, which produces 185hp at 3,500rpm. The torque is capped at 420Nm (1,600-2,800rpm) when paired with the 6-speed manual gearbox, with 450Nm available between 1,750rpm and 2,800rpm when mated to the 6-speed torque-converter automatic.
2026 Mahindra XUV 7XO colours
The new XUV 7XO is available in seven exterior colours.
There are only two light shades available with the Mahindra XUV 7XO, namely Desert Myst and Everest White. The other exterior colour options of the XUV 7XO are Galaxy Grey, Midnight Black, Nebula Blue, Ruby Velvet and Stealth Black. Mahindra is offering a new beige-and-brown interior colour theme, with the two-spoke steering wheel in the top trims wrapped in two-tone leather.

If you have a budget of around Rs 20 lakh, the AX7 trim represents good value by packing in plenty of features, both for the front- and rear-seat occupants, and offering all available powertrain options. On the other hand, if you are chauffeur-driven regularly and like individual captain seats instead of the regular bench-type, upgrading to the top-end AX7L will leave little room for complaints. Not only does this top trim offer seat ventilation and sunblinds, but it also gets a dedicated charging pad for the middle-row occupants.
