Mahindra XUV 7XO

The Mahindra XUV700 facelift will be called XUV 7XO, and will debut on January 5, 2026. The Mahindra XUV 7XO is the second model to follow the brand's newer nomenclature for its ICE models, after the XUV 3XO, which is essentially the XUV300 facelift. An XUV 7XO teaser revealed key exterior details, including 7-shaped DRLs Mahindra XEV 9S-like trapezoidal LED headlights, and redesigned taillights. More details are expected to be revealed closer to the upcoming Mahindra SUV’s debut next year.

Inside, the 2026 XUV 7XO is expected to feature the same triple-screen setup seen in the Mahindra XEV 9e and 9S SUVs. It will likely come in 6- and 7-seat layouts, while a 5-seat version is still uncertain. Notably, Mahindra discontinued the XUV 700’s 5-seater variants in May 2025. Under the hood, the new SUV is likely to carry over the XUV700’s engines: a 2-litre turbo-petrol and a 2.2-litre diesel, and both can be paired with either a manual or an automatic gearbox. The diesel SUV may continue to offer an AWD option.
