Mahindra XUV 7XO exterior and interior
Boomerang-shaped DRLs, new front grille
The new XUV 7XO gets revised front LED headlamp units surrounded by boomerang-shaped DRLs, a new front grille, and refreshed tail-lights with hexagonal detailing. The profile remains largely similar to the outgoing XUV700, save for a new design for the alloy wheels.
3-screen setup, 16-speaker sound system
Inside, the XUV 7XO gets a new colour scheme for the upholstery and a three-screen setup, comprising a digital driver's display, a central infotainment screen, and a dedicated screen for the front passenger, each measuring 12.3 inches.
There is also a new two-spoke steering wheel, and a touch-based panel for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, a powered Boss Mode for the front passenger seat, a 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system with Dolby Atmos, and wireless charging.

540-degree camera setup, Level 2 ADAS
The Mahindra XUV 7XO top model comes equipped with 7 airbags, a 540-degree camera, an electronic parking brake with auto-hold, and ISOFIX seat anchorages. As before, a Level 2 ADAS suite, which includes adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and automatic emergency braking, is on offer. While the XUV700 earned a full five-star rating in the 2021 Global NCAP crash tests, Mahindra claims the 7XO has been engineered to match that performance under Bharat NCAP.
