3 Lakh Mahindra XUV700 On Indian Roads Since Its Debut In 2021
The SUV marque has now begun work on the upcoming XUV700 facelift, which will feature a revised design and even more features
There’s no doubt that the Mahindra XUV700 has been a successful offering from the popular SUV manufacturer. It has been selling like hot cakes ever since its inception in August 2021. And now, just as the XUV700 is going to turn four years old soon, Mahindra has announced that the midsize SUV has crossed the 3 lakh sales milestone.
Notably, the XUV700 crossed the 2.5 lakh sales milestone in March 2025, and it took Mahindra only four months to rack up 50,000 sales.
Mahindra XUV700: A Brief Overview
The Mahindra XUV700 has stood the test of time very well and has aged gracefully. This is despite the fact that it’s going to turn 4 in August 2025. It still looks butch with imposing fascia that features the bold Mahindra slatted grille and LED headlights with angular DRLs. In profile, it comes with 18-inch alloys and was also the first Mahindra to come with flush-fitting door handles, giving it a sleek look. Wrap around LED tail lamps with sequential turn indicators round off the overall look.
Even the cabin still looks fresh and modern when it comes to design. Its top highlight is the Mercedes-like dual 10.25-inch screens that are placed under a single slab of glass for a modern look. Unlike modern Mahindra, the XUV700 continues to get physical controls and knobs for the air-conditioning system, which are much easier to operate.
It also doesn’t disappoint when it comes to features, which is what we’ll be talking about next.
