The Mahindra XUV700 offers two engine options: a 2.0-litre turbo petrol direct injection mStallion engine, delivering an impressive 200 PS and 380 Nm and a 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine, available in two states of tune – 155 PS / 360 Nm and 185 PS / 420 Nm (450 Nm in automatic trim) of peak power and torque respectively. Both of these powertrains can be paired with either a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission. Additionally, the top-tier trims come with the option of an AWD version and equipped with ADAS features. The prices for the XUV700 range from Rs 14.01 lakh to Rs 26.18 lakh, ex-showroom. We expect the AX9L trim to cost at least a lakh more. This would translate to an on-road price of almost Rs 30 lakh.

What We Think
Mahindra XUV700 is already among the most loaded vehicles in its segment. However, there might be some potential buyers who are missing out on the above-mentioned features. Therefore, the AX9 and the AX9L variants might make a lot of sense for those who look for the latest connectivity and tech features in their vehicles and are not on a strict budget. Talking about the budget, it would also be interesting to see how much of a premium would Mahindra command over the already expensive AX7 and AX7L trims.
