As a result, we often spot the test mules on the highways. We know that the XUV700 is already a feature-rich SUV. In fact, everyone was impressed by the SUV when it was first launched in our market back in 2021. In fact, it even went on to sell decently in some international markets like Australia and South Africa. Nevertheless, the facelift version will further build on that.
While the body of the SUV is wrapped in a camouflage, we are able to get a sneak peek into the front fascia. It will come with vertical slats along with striking LED headlamps and DRLs with a sporty bumper. The side profile and silhouette will almost resemble the existing model but the tail end will feature a slight tweak to the taillamp design. On the inside, we might see a triple screen display, premium sound system, Level 2 ADAS, powered tailgate and much more. More details will emerge in the coming days.

Updated on 20.11.2025 – Mahindra has been teasing the upcoming XEV 9S electric SUV for a few days now. In fact, we will experience the vehicle in the flesh on November 27, 2025, at Mahindra’s ‘Scream Electric’ event to be held in Bengaluru. The teasers and digital renditions have been circulating around for a while now. Hence, we know that the XEV 9S will be a striking new EV from the Indian auto giant to carry the EV transition forward. Similarly, the upcoming XUV 7XO has also been spotted testing on multiple occasions. It certainly looks like it will borrow a few elements from the XEV 9S in terms of styling and amenities.
Originally published on 20.01.2025 – The Mahindra XUV700 facelift will be called the 7XO, keeping in line with its latest nomenclature similar to the 3XO. At present, the XUV700 is the flagship ICE model on sale from the Indian automobile giant in our market. It has been a popular product for a long time. However, it is due for a facelift. Interestingly, the facelift model will bear distinct modifications in comparison to the current version not only aesthetically, but in terms of powertrains as well. For now, let us take a look at the details of this case.
Mahindra XUV700 Facelift to be Called 7XO
As per our sources, the new XUV700 will be called 7XO. Furthermore, it will possess the fascia of the XEV 7e which was spotted testing earlier. In fact, a few weeks ago, the trademark for the SUV was leaked which showcased the front fascia. It will include a massive LED light strip which will run the width of the SUV. It will culminate into the 7-shaped LED DRLs on either side. The main LED headlamp cluster will be encapsulated within on the edges of the face. Since it is an EV, there are no grilles at the front. Instead, it gets a completely sealed-off section with rugged elements a skid plate. On the sides, the silhouette is similar to the current version and the case is similar at the rear too. Still, the front fascia will be enough to distinguish the two.
Interior and Features
While the exact details about the specifications are not announced yet, it is clear that it will get that triple-screen layout we saw in the XEV 9e. Apart from that, we know that Mahindra likes to equip its vehicles with the utmost comfort and convenience amenities. Hence, we can expect all the latest bells and whistles to pamper the customers. The quality of materials inside the cabin will be high and the overall appearance will ooze a much more premium vibe, as mentioned by our source.
My View
It is clear that Mahindra is updating the XUV700 thoroughly. However, the fact that we will now even get an electric iteration of the SUV is exciting. People will have all sorts of options to choose from. With the ICE guise, it will most likely retain the powertrains which is not a bad thing at all. Therefore, the Mahindra XUV700 facelift (7XO) will surely be much more enticing in terms of exterior, interior and the option of an electric avatar. Let us keep an eye out for more details as the launch nears.
