Mahindra has launched the facelifted XUV 700, named as XUV 7XO, in India at Rs 13.66 lakh (ex-showroom). The new XUV 7XO reinforces Mahindra's SUV lineup with significant upgrades. The XUV 7XO introduces itself in the segment dominated by rivals such as the MG Hector, Tata Safari, and others in the Indian market.

Engine and exterior

The Mahindra XUV 7XO inherits the proven powertrains from the XUV 700. The customers may select between a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine delivering 200 hp and 380 Nm, or a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel unit that produces up to 185 hp and 450 Nm.

The Mahindra XUV 7XO's exterior is no exception to the brand's latest electric concepts. The SUV's front look goes with the new sporty redesigned LED daytime running lights, projector headlamps, and a refreshed grille accented with vertical chrome detailing.

At the back, the SUV has a connected full-width light bar with inverted L-shaped elements, which adds to the contemporary touch. The upgrades list includes new dual-tone alloy wheels, revised bumpers, and fresh paint options
