Mahindra XUV700 2025: India’s Flagship Family SUV with Bold Design

As a family guy who’s clocked thousands of kilometers on various Indian roads — from slushy Mumbai streets to parched Rajasthan highways— I’ve learned one thing: the best SUV is not just about power or looks. The ideal SUV is one that’s safe, comfortable and makes your family happy throughout all of your travels.

The Mahindra XUV700 2025 is that SUV. Since its launch in 2021, it has changed the mid-size SUV segment. By mid-2025, Mahindra sold more than 3 lakh units, and now an updated version is coming. This seven-seater SUV gives strong performance, modern features, and great value for money.

The price starts at ₹13.99 lakh and goes up to ₹26.99 lakh (ex-showroom). It comes with turbo-petrol and diesel engines, Level 2 ADAS, and a 5-star Global NCAP safety rating. It competes strongly with the Tata Safari and Hyundai Alcazar. Whether you’re going to drop your kids to school or on a weekend trip, the XUV700 always seem really stable and safe.

Here’s the full lowdown in simple language, considering the latest developments, till November 2025—the GST advantage (aside any new variant save) and why the XUV700 continues to be one of the best buys for Indian families. This means prices, options, vehicle’s features, dimensions, drivetrain tech and real-life driving experience.

Mahindra XUV700 2025 Price in India: Value-Packed Variants from ₹13.99 Lakh Onwards

One of the biggest advantages of the XUV700 is its price. It offers a lot for the money. The price fell by as much as ₹1.43 lakh on some of the variants post the GST reduction in September 2025.

(In backend dealers now they are offering some great discounts along with free accessories) As of November 2025, the ex-showroom Delhi price rupees of this SUV (HT MT Diesel) commences at ₹13.99 lakh MX petrol and rise to side ranges is ₹26.99 lakh for the top AX7L Diesel AWD Ebony Edition.

On-road prices are typically 10–15% more due to RTO, insurance, and FASTag. This makes the total around ₹15.5–30 lakh in big Indian cities.

If you take a loan, EMIs start at around ₹25,000/month for the base model (8% interest, 5-year plan). Mahindra is also giving festive offers like discounts up to ₹1.27 lakh and free accessories. Check your nearby dealership for December offers.

These prices make the XUV700 great value—cheaper than the Tata Safari (starting at ₹16 lakh) but with more features. The XUV700 also keeps a strong resale value of around 70–75% after three years because Mahindra now has more than 1,000 service centers across India.

Mahindra XUV700 2025 Engine and Performance: Turbo Power Meets Refined Comfort

The XUV700 2025 comes with two engine options:

1. 2.0L mStallion Turbo-Petrol

•  197 hp, 380 Nm
•  6-speed manual or automatic

2. 2.2L mHawk Diesel (two versions)

• 155 hp / 360 Nm (base)
• 182 hp / 450 Nm (top) with automatic and AWD

The petrol variant goes from 0–100 km/h in 9 seconds and gives 13 kmpl (10–12 in real use).

The diesel is the best performer, giving 17 kmpl ARAI (14–15 real use) and can tow up to 2,300 kg. AWD is available in higher variants and works well on slippery roads or mild off-roading.

I drove the AX7 Diesel AT myself, and its 450 Nm torque makes highway driving very smooth. The ride is soft due to special suspension that absorbs bumps well. The cabin is quiet, and the body roll is low, so long drives feel easy.

With a 60-litre tank, you get around 800–1,000 km range. There is no hybrid model yet, but Mahindra may bring one in 2026.
