Mahindra has officially launched the 2025 XUV700, a premium SUV that combines aggressive pricing, upgraded features, and impressive fuel efficiency. Priced from ₹13.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the new XUV700 is positioned as a strong competitor in the midsize SUV segment. With its 17 kmpl mileage claim, high-end interior updates, and safety-first design, it’s clear that Mahindra is aiming to capture both urban and long-distance drivers looking for a refined yet powerful experience.

Mahindra XUV700 2025 Debuts

What’s New in the Mahindra XUV700 2025?

The 2025 version of the XUV700 comes with subtle yet meaningful upgrades across design, technology, and comfort. The exterior design remains bold and muscular, with a refreshed grille and LED lighting elements adding sharper appeal. Inside, Mahindra has introduced a new dual-tone interior theme, enhanced infotainment software, and a panoramic sunroof as standard on higher variants.

Key improvements include:

• Revised ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) suite

• Larger 12.3-inch touchscreen with upgraded UI

• Alexa Built-in voice assistant with car controls

• 360-degree camera and blind spot monitoring

• Premium leatherette upholstery in higher variants

The focus is clearly on providing a near-luxury experience without inflating the price tag.

Engine and Performance

Mahindra continues to offer the XUV700 with two engine options:

• A 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine delivering around 200 hp

• A 2.2-litre diesel engine available in two states of tune (155 hp for lower variants, 185 hp for higher trims)

Both engines are available with 6-speed manual and 6-speed torque converter automatic transmissions. The diesel variants also come with an all-wheel-drive option in the top-spec trims.

The claimed fuel efficiency is up to 17 kmpl, depending on variant and driving conditions. While real-world figures may vary, the number places it among the more efficient SUVs in its category.

Features and Interior Comfort

Mahindra has loaded the 2025 XUV700 with a wide range of features, aimed at both comfort and safety. Key highlights include:

• Dual-zone automatic climate control

• Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay

• Ventilated front seats (on top trims)

• Drive modes (Zip, Zap, Zoom)

• Smart door handles that sit flush with the body

The cabin space remains generous, especially in the 7-seater variant. Rear AC vents, flat floor design, and ample boot space make it practical for family use.

Safety and Ratings

The XUV700 has already earned a 5-star Global NCAP rating, and the 2025 model builds on that with additional safety enhancements. The updated ADAS system includes lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking.

Additional safety kit includes:

• 6 airbags as standard

• Electronic Stability Program (ESP)

• ISOFIX child seat mounts

• Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)

Mahindra has clearly prioritized safety, making it one of the most secure offerings in its price range.

Pricing and Variants

The base MX variant starts at ₹13.99 lakh (ex-showroom), while the top-end AX7L variant can go beyond ₹24 lakh with optional features. The value proposition remains strong given the feature list and powertrain flexibility.

Mahindra has also made efforts to reduce waiting periods by ramping up production, especially for the top trims, which were in high demand during the previous model years.

Competition and Market Outlook

The XUV700 competes directly with the Tata Safari, MG Hector Plus, Hyundai Alcazar, and Jeep Compass. With its aggressive pricing and feature-loaded variants, the XUV700 2025 looks well positioned to dominate the premium SUV space in India.

Mahindra’s strong service network, rugged brand image, and continued software updates also contribute to its appeal among both tech-savvy buyers and traditional SUV lovers.
