Mahindra XUV 7XO: Exterior Design Changes

We are glad that Mahindra has taken the evolutionary approach for the first facelift of the SUV. All the design changes compared to the outgoing car can be found here.
-
The design changes, especially at the front, give it a more imposing look than before.
| Small Details:
|
- Except for the new alloy wheels, no major changes have been made to the side profile.
- Mahindra offers the XUV 7XO in a host of monotone and dual-tone colours. Some of them are really interesting and you should check it out in our colour images gallery.
| Point To Note:
|

Tail lamps have been lifted off the XEV 9S. We love the pixel-like detailing!

Overall design updates give the XUV 7XO a breath of fresh air! Take a closer look at the XUV 7XO in 25 detailed images.
Mahindra XUV 7XO: Interior Design Changes

- Spotting changes here is easy!

The biggest highlight is the new triple 12.3-inch screens that give the dashboard a modern look! It's standard right from the base AX variant (check it out in images here).

New black / tan / white colour combo looks posh, but will be tough to maintain.
| Details:
|

- Unlike the XEV 9S, Mahindra hasn't provided it with sliding second row seats, which is an missed opportunity.

That said, some welcome features for middle-row occupants include rear sunshades and a wireless phone charger.

Mahindra XUV 7XO: Safety Features Onboard
The Mahindra XUV 7XO continues with its strong list of safety features, such as 7 airbags (6 as standard), ABS with EBD, electronic stability control (ESC), front and rear parking sensors, electronic parking brake with auto hold and a level-2 advanced driver assistance system (ADAS).
| Note: The Mahindra XUV 700 was one of the first Mahindras to secure a 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP back in 2021. We expect the 7XO to get full marks when tested by Bharat NCAP. |
Mahindra XUV 7XO: Engine Options Explained
Things remain familiar underneath the hood as there are no changes in this department. Here’s a look at the specifications:
| Parameters |
2-litre Turbo-petrol Engine |
2.2-litre Diesel Engine |
| Power (PS) |
200 PS |
Up To 185 PS |
| Torque (Nm) |
380 Nm |
Up To 450 Nm |
| Transmission Options |
6-speed manual / 6-speed automatic (AT) |
6-speed manual / 6-speed automatic (AT) |
| Drivertrain |
Front-wheel Drive |
Front-wheel Drive / All-wheel Drive (AT only) |
- Based on our experience with the XUV700, both engines offer strong performance and great long-distance cruising abilities.
-
Large turbo-petrol combined with a heavy car equals poor fuel economy. Expect single-digit numbers in town.

-
Our pick would be the diesel, which offers great driveability and strong performance.
-
Optional AWD with the diesel engine allows you to take the XUV 7XO on beaten paths.
Mahindra XUV 7XO: Our Take

We at CarDekho loved the XUV700 for what it was! A muscular, bold design, an upmarket cabin with a long list of features, great comfort for occupants and strong performance. The XUV 7XO builds on the same formula and is now posher and more feature-loaded than ever before. All these updates ensure the XUV 7XO remains undefeated in the popular midsize SUV segment!
Mahindra XUV 7XO: Rivals
The Mahindra XUV 7XO renews its rivalry with the following options:
-
Tata Safari: The closest rival to the Mahindra XUV 7XO. Recent updates, such as a turbo-petrol engine and new features has upped its appeal.
-
MG Hector Plus: If you want a comfortable offering. Once again, recently updated with a facelift.
-
Hyundai Alcazar: A size smaller than the XUV 7XO, but it remains a contender.
