Latest Mahindra SUV arrives with premium interior and features
Mahindra is set to stir the Indian automotive market once again with the official launch of the Mahindra XUV 7XO today, January 5, 2026. This highly anticipated vehicle serves as the facelifted successor to the popular XUV700, bringing a fresh identity and a host of futuristic upgrades to the segment. Following the success of the XUV 3XO, this new naming convention reflects the brand's shift toward a more modern and tech-heavy lineup.
The Mahindra XUV 7XO showcases a significant visual overhaul. Drawing inspiration from the brand’s upcoming electric vehicle portfolio, the front fascia now features a redesigned grille with sleek vertical chrome slats. The lighting setup is more aggressive, boasting new LED projector headlamps and C-shaped daytime running lights (DRLs). At the rear, a continuous LED light bar connects the inverted L-shaped tail lamps, giving the SUV a wider and more sophisticated stance on the road. New 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels further enhance its premium appeal.
Step inside, and the Mahindra XUV 7XO interior features immediately grab your attention. It is the first internal combustion engine (ICE) model from Mahindra to offer a massive triple-screen dashboard. This setup includes three 12.3-inch displays covering the driver’s instrument cluster, the central infotainment system, and a dedicated entertainment screen for the front passenger.
Comfort is also a top priority. The cabin features a brown-and-tan color scheme with soft-touch materials. Notable additions include an upgraded 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, a 540-degree camera for better visibility, and a "Boss Mode" that allows rear passengers to adjust the front seat for extra legroom.
Under the hood, the Mahindra XUV 7XO continues to rely on its proven powerhouses. Buyers can choose between the 2.0-liter mStallion turbo-petrol engine and the 2.2-liter mHawk diesel engine. Both units are available with 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions. For those seeking extra capability, the diesel variant will continue to offer an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) option.
Safety remains a benchmark, with the SUV featuring an enhanced Level 2 ADAS suite. Booking for this premium vehicle has already started with a token amount of Rs 21,000. While the official XUV 7XO price in India will be confirmed shortly, it is expected to range between Rs 15 lakh and Rs 26 lakh.
