Mahindra XUV 7XO Bookings Now Open

Mahindra & Mahindra has commenced bookings for its flagship ICE SUV, the XUV 7XO, in India. Alongside this, the automaker has also begun customer deliveries of the higher variants of the new model.

The XUV 7XO is available in six variants — AX, AX3, AX5, AX7, AX7T, and AX7L — and can be configured in 6-seater and 7-seater layouts. It is offered with petrol and diesel engines, paired with manual and automatic transmissions.

Customers who pre-booked the SUV in December 2025 will start receiving deliveries from today.

Variant-Wise Delivery Timeline

Currently, deliveries are limited to customers who opted for the AX7, AX7T, and AX7L variants. Buyers of the AX, AX3, and AX5 trims will need to wait until April 2026 for deliveries to commence.

XUV 7XO Powertrain and Drivetrain Options

The Mahindra XUV 7XO is essentially a facelifted version of the XUV700 and continues to offer the same engine options:

• 2.0-litre mStallion TGDi petrol engine

  • Power: 200 hp

New DAVINCI Suspension System and Ride Quality
