Last Updated on: 06 Nov 2026
Mahindra XUV 7XO specifications
The Mahindra XUV 7XO is offered with two engines. The 2.0-litre four-cylinder mStallion direct-injection turbo-petrol makes 203hp at 5,000rpm and 380Nm from 1,750 to 3,000rpm. The 2.2-litre four-cylinder mHawk turbo-diesel makes 185hp at 3,500rpm and 450Nm from 1,750 to 2,800rpm with the automatic, or 420Nm from 1,600 to 2,800rpm with the manual. The petrol is the refined, responsive pick, with a diesel-like mid-range and a redline of 5,800rpm. The diesel is the relaxed highway engine, and the one Mahindra expects nearly three-quarters of buyers to choose.

Questions you may find useful
Hi Team, I am currently driving a 2020 Maruti Suzuki Baleno and am planning to upgrade to an SUV. My shortlisted options are the Honda Elevate, Tata Harrier, and Mahindra XUV 7XO. My daily drive involves around 35 to 40 kms in heavy Bangalore city traffic, along with occasional highway trips. My primary priority is a car with a solid 5-star safety rating, along with good ride comfort and easy city drivability. Coming from a lightweight hatchback, I am looking for an option that offers a clear step up in safety and space without feeling overly cumbersome during my daily urban commute. Could you please evaluate these three models based on my usage and suggest the best option and engine-transmission combination for me?
My monthly running is around 500 km with occasional long drives, and overall, it will be approximately 10,000 km per year. My budget is around ₹21-22 lakh, and I am interested in the XUV 7XO and Kia Carens Clavis. I want a tech- and feature-loaded automatic car - should I go for the XUV 7XO Automatic petrol, XUV 7XO Automatic diesel, or Carens Clavis 1.5 turbo petrol automatic, and which variant should I buy?
If you want your car to be feature-loaded, we suggest you wait for the launch of Mahindra 7XO, which is coming on 5th January, and is expected to get an updated exterior and pack new features too. Since you primarily drive in the city, we recommend you go for the petrol engine of the Mahindra XUV 7XO.
Hi Autocar Team, I am looking for an SUV for my family of four to five members. My current car is a Maruti Suzuki Celerio, and my maximum on-road budget is Rs. 24 lakh in Bangalore. My annual usage will be around 14,000 km, with a 40:60 split between city and highway driving. My priorities are an automatic transmission, comfortable seating, a good balance of performance and mileage, and a strong safety rating. Which SUVs would you recommend based on my requirements?
With 14,000 km of annual running and a 40-60 city-highway split, a diesel makes sense here, and the Mahindra XUV 7XO diesel automatic is the recommendation. It is one of the most comfortable and spacious SUVs in this price range, with a strong diesel engine that delivers good performance and efficiency on highways while remaining manageable in the city. The automatic gearbox is smooth, and the car feels stable and confidence-inspiring at speed, which is important given your highway usage. It is also a genuinely comfortable family car with a well-sorted ride and a strong safety package.While we are yet to drive the Renault Duster Hybrid, it could be another model of interest to you. Its hybrid powertrain promises excellent fuel economy in addition to the sorted ride and handling manners that make the Duster such a good long-distance machine. Our review drops in the coming week. Stay tuned!
Hi, I currently drive a Kia Sonet HTX iMT, which I purchased in December 2020. It has covered around 46,500km so far, with an annual running of approximately 10,000km. My current daily usage is 34km, mainly on the highway, as my office is in an industrial area. I am now looking to upgrade to a mid-size SUV with an automatic transmission. My priorities are a feature-rich car with a 5-star safety rating, good mileage, and enough space for a family of four, with occasional seating for six people. My expected usage will be around 80% city and 20% highway driving in the future. My budget is around Rs 21 lakh, although I can stretch it slightly for a better overall package. Please suggest some suitable options.
Given your requirements, the best option is the Hyundai Alcazar petrol DCT. It's available as a six- or seven-seater, giving you the flexibility you need when your extended family joins you on your journeys, and its 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine is relatively fuel efficient for a car of its size. The dual-clutch automatic is smooth enough, though it can be a bit clunky at low speeds if not driven smoothly and carefully. Also worth noting is that even the base model petrol-AT Alcazar costs around Rs 21 lakh on road, and the Alcazar has not been tested by any NCAP authority.The next best option is not an SUV but arguably a more practical option - the Kia Carens Clavis. It uses the same engine and gearbox in a lighter package with more space on the inside. Other 7-seat SUV options with more space - like the Mahindra XUV 7XO, Tata Safari, Mahindra Scorpio-N and MG Hector Plus are available, but are nowhere near as fuel-efficient and will be out of your budget as well. All things considered, the Hyundai Alcazar is your best option.
Hi Auto Experts, I’ve been using a diesel Swift for around 10 years, followed by a Marazzo for the last 8 years. I’m now planning to change my car and move to an automatic. My requirements: Annual usage: around 10,0001-2,000 km Includes a couple of long highway trips every year I really like the driving experience and highway performance of diesel cars, so a diesel AT is my preference. Usually 4-5 people, with occasional 6-person trips. Looking for a car that I can keep for 81-0 years. Safety is important to me. Good highway comfort, stability and long-distance reliability are priorities. I’m currently confused between available SUVs and MUVs and would appreciate suggestions from experts. My budget is below 25L.
Given your usage and preferences, the Mahindra XUV 7XO diesel automatic is the most sensible recommendation. You are coming from a Marazzo and have enjoyed diesel highway performance, so the 7XO is a natural upgrade. This Mahindra car offers a strong diesel engine, a comfortable ride, good highway stability and a genuinely spacious cabin with a usable third row for those occasional 6-person trips. It is also one of the few diesel automatics available today that fits comfortably within your budget.
