    Mahindra XUV700: variant-wise engine, gearbox, seating layouts

    The XUV700 line-up starts with the entry-level MX variant that gets a 200hp, petrol and a lower output 155hp diesel engine. While the petrol engine will be offered with 6-speed manual and automatic gearboxes, the diesel engine only gets the manual. Also, the MX Series will only be available as a five-seater.

    The AdrenoX series, on the other hand, will feature three trims – AX3, AX5 and AX7 – and will be offered with the 200hp petrol and a higher-output 185hp diesel engine. All XUV700 AX series SUVs, except for the petrol AX3 and AX5 seven-seater variants, get the option of both manual and automatic gearboxes.

    As far as seating options go, the XUV700 AX3 and AX5 will be sold as a five or seven-seater, while the AX7 is solely available as a seven-seater. Additionally, the all-wheel drive is solely reserved for the top-spec AX7 diesel-AT variant.

    The top-spec XUV700 AX7 trims will likely also be offered with three optional packs, as denoted by the C, T and L abbreviations, which possibly suggest ‘Comfort’, ‘Technology’, and ‘Luxury’ packs.
