Mahindra XUV 7XO: What's Hot and What's Not in the Facelifted SUV

  • The XUV 7XO, a facelifted XUV700, aims for a more premium, comfortable, and tech-focused experience.
  • Likes include significantly improved ride quality with the new DAVINCI suspension, a premium dual-tone cabin with a triple-screen setup, and a perfectly suited 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine.
  • Dislikes involve too many functions hidden in the touchscreen, making climate control and ventilation less intuitive, a cramped third row for adults, and insufficient under-thigh support for tall drivers.
  • Pricing for the Mahindra XUV 7XO starts at Rs 13.66 lakh and goes up to Rs 24.92 lakh (ex-showroom) for the first 40,000 customers.
  • Deliveries for AX7, AX7T, and AX7L variants begin January 14, while AX, AX3, and AX5 variants will be available from April.

Why It Matters: Mahindra XUV 7XO offers enhanced premium features and ride comfort but has ergonomic drawbacks.
