The Mahindra XUV700, a prominent fixture in Mahindra's Indian lineup, offers both petrol and diesel engines across various seating configurations, including 5-seater, 6-seater, and 7-seater options. Due to its strong demand, the XUV700 has traditionally experienced extended waiting periods. However, recent updates indicate a significant reduction, with current wait times now less than two months for all models.
Current Waiting Periods for the Mahindra XUV700 as of April 2024
- MX Variant: Approximately 1 month
- AX3 Variant: Approximately 1 month
- AX5 Variant: Approximately 1.5 months
- AX7 and AX7 L Variants: Between 1 and 1.5 months
The entry-level MX and AX3 variants are currently the quickest to be delivered, with an estimated one-month waiting period. The AX5 sees slightly longer waits, and the premium AX7 and AX7 L models range from one to one and a half months. It is important to note that waiting times for variants equipped with ESP are not specifically mentioned.
Engine Options and Performance
The XUV700 is available with:
- A 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine delivering 200hp and 380Nm of torque.
- A 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine available in two outputs: 155hp/360Nm for the lower variants and 185hp/420Nm (450Nm with automatic transmission) for the higher trims.
Both engines are paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission, and the diesel variant offers an optional all-wheel-drive system.
Pricing and Competition
Priced between Rs 13.99 lakh and Rs 26.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the XUV700 competes with the likes of the Tata Harrier, Safari, MG Hector, Hector Plus, Hyundai Alcazar, and Jeep Compass. The XUV700 is a well-liked option for Indian SUV shoppers due to its cheap pricing and feature set.
