The Mahindra XUV 3XO and XUV700 SUVs continue to see high demand in the market, with the smaller compact SUV’s sales in FY2025 crossing the 1 lakh milestone, while the larger model hit its 2.5 lakh sales milestone at the start of the year. Usually, as demand surges, so does waiting periods, and that’s despite Mahindra’s efforts to increase production. In May, delivery times of the XUV 3XO and XUV700 have doubled for most variants, compared to the waiting periods in March.
- XUV 3XO MX2/MX2 Pro variants have the longest waiting periods
- XUV700 6-seat and dual tone variants’ delivery times are variable
