Mahindra XUV 7XO vs XUV700: What's Different?

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/mahindra/">Mahindra</a> recently launched the electric version of the XUV 3XO in India,&nbsp;with prices starting at Rs 13.89 lakh (ex-showroom).&nbsp;While the XUV 3XO EV closely mirrors&nbsp;its petrol-powered sibling, it features several EV-specific updates&nbsp;and unique touches that set it apart.

Mahindra XUV 7XO Review: The Most Tech-Loaded SUV in the Segment? | autoX

The Mahindra XUV 7XO is not a new-generation XUV700 - it’s a comprehensive facelift that focuses heavily on design, features, and ride comfort. While the platform and engines remain unchanged, Mahindra has gone all-in on technology, premium touches, and in-car entertainment.

<p>The Mahindra XUV 7XO steps into familiar territory but does so with a sharper jawline, a louder tech manifesto and a clear intent to feel more premium than before. It isn’t a ground-up reinvention of the XUV 700 lineage, but a carefully reworked evolution that leans heavily on design updates, in-cabin experience and feature depth. The result is an SUV that feels more mature, more digital and more indulgent, even if it trips slightly when pushed hard, and we will come to that in a bit.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/mahindra-xuv-7xo-launched-in-india-at-rs-1366-lakh-122582/">Mahindra XUV 7XO Launched in India at Rs 13.66 Lakh</a></p><h2>Exterior Design: Same Skeleton, Stronger Muscles</h2><p>Mahindra hasn’t changed the XUV 7XO’s overall stance, proportions or road presence, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The SUV was already well-sized and imposing, and the updates simply give it a more butch, squared-off character. </p><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Mahindra-XUV-7XO-SUV-Front-1767862803600.webp" alt="Mahindra XUV 7XO SUV Front.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The front end is where the biggest visual gains are made. A redesigned grille, new Bi-LED headlights and more assertive bumper detailing give the SUV a tougher, more confident face. The ice-cube LED fog/cornering lamps are a new addition too. The SUV looks wider and more planted, especially when you see it head-on.</p><p>Viewed in profile, things are largely unchanged. The silhouette remains familiar, and while the wheel designs are new, the profile won’t surprise existing XUV fans. At the rear, Mahindra has played it safe but effective. A new tailgate design, revised LED taillamps, and a reworked bumper modernise the look without overdoing it. </p><p>
      
    
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Mahindra-XUV-7XO-SUV-Rear-Still-Shot-1767862819516.webp" alt="Mahindra XUV 7XO SUV Rear Still Shot.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>That said, it feels like a missed opportunity that there’s no electric tailgate on a car that stretches close to the Rs. 25 lakh mark. In a segment where convenience features are becoming the norm, this omission stings.</p><h2>Mahindra XUV 7XO Review: Interior Setup</h2><p>Step inside, and the XUV 7XO makes a much stronger case for itself. The new Lumina White and Chestnut Brown upholstery combination instantly elevates the cabin ambience. It feels premium to the touch and visually rich without being flashy. The materials used across touchpoints feel well-finished, and the overall layout is clean and tech-forward. The highlight, of course, is the new coast-to-coast three-screen setup.</p><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Mahindra-XUV-7XO-SUV-Interior-1767862786664.webp" alt="Mahindra XUV 7XO SUV Interior.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p> Impressively, this isn’t restricted to top-spec trims. Mahindra offers this layout right from the base variant, which is a bold and commendable move. The screens are crisp, responsive and logically laid out, making them easy to use even on the move.</p><h2>Mahindra XUV 7XO Review: Features &amp; Creature Comfort</h2><p>Mahindra has gone aggressively feature-heavy with the XUV 7XO. Even the base variant gets Alexa built-in with ChatGPT integration, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cruise control, push-button start/stop and over 75 standard safety features. </p><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Mahindra-XUV-7XO-SUV-Seat-Ventilation-1767862781992.webp" alt="Mahindra XUV 7XO SUV Seat Ventilation.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The safety suite includes multiple airbags, Level 2 ADAS with a visualisation feature that shows lane markings and oncoming vehicles/obstacles as graphics on the instrument console, and electronic aids that cover most real-world driving scenarios.</p><h2>Mahindra XUV 7XO Review: Dolby Takes Centre Stage</h2><p>One of the biggest talking points of the XUV 7XO is its media experience. It is India’s first car to feature Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, and the difference in how you listen to music inside is immediately noticeable. Visuals on the screens look richer, with better contrast and colour depth, while the audio experience feels immersive and layered.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Mahindra-XUV-7X0-Display-1767863850306.webp" alt="Mahindra XUV 7X0 Display.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>On top-spec variants, the 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system with 3D surround sound technology takes things further. This is easily one of the best in-car entertainment setups currently offered in the segment.</p><h2>Mahindra XUV 7XO Review: Comfort and Space</h2><p>Seat comfort is another strong point. The high-density foam used in the seats offers excellent cushioning without feeling too soft. Long drives should be fatigue-free for both front and rear occupants. Rear-seat passengers are particularly well looked after. </p><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Mahindra-XUV-7XO-Middle-Seats-1767769960668.webp" alt="Mahindra XUV 7XO Middle Seats.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The electric boss-seat function allows the rear occupant to adjust the front passenger seat electronically, liberating more legroom and enhancing comfort. </p><h2>Mahindra XUV 7XO Review: Engine and Performance</h2><p>Powering the XUV 7XO is the familiar 2.2-litre mHawk turbo-diesel engine. It continues to impress with its strong torque delivery and relaxed cruising ability. Acceleration feels brisk for an SUV of this size, and the engine is slightly more refined than the outgoing model, with reduced noise and vibration filtering into the cabin. </p><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Mahindra-XUV-7XO-SUV-Rear-1767862799270.webp" alt="Mahindra XUV 7XO SUV Rear.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The diesel engine is also tractable, making city driving less stressful despite the SUV’s dimensions. Paired with it is a 6-speed automatic gearbox that shifts smoothly and unobtrusively. It’s well-calibrated for everyday driving and complements the engine’s torque-rich nature nicely. Braking performance is confidence-inspiring and on par with others in the segment.</p><h2>Mahindra XUV 7XO Review: Ride and Handling</h2><p>Ride quality is one of the XUV 7XO’s biggest strengths. It debuts Mahindra’s Da Vinci damping system, which combines a McPherson strut setup at the front with a multi-link independent rear suspension and frequency-dependent damping. The result is a plush, absorbent ride that deals with broken roads and highway undulations with ease. However, when the pace picks up, the SUV reveals its limitations. </p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Mahindra-XUV-7XO-SUV-Action-Shot-1767862790728.webp" alt="Mahindra XUV 7XO SUV Action Shot.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>High-speed cornering exposes a noticeable swaying motion, which can make occupants uncomfortable and reduce driver confidence. It’s not unsafe, but it’s clear that comfort has been prioritised over outright handling sharpness.</p><h2>Mahindra XUV 7XO Review: Pricing and Verdict</h2><p>Mahindra has priced the XUV 7XO competitively, especially considering the sheer number of features on offer. That said, when you look at rivals, some of them do undercut the XUV 7XO at the top end while offering comparable powertrains and equipment. </p><p>

Here are five key updates that set it apart.</p><h2><strong>DAVINCI Dampers Suspension</strong></h2><p>The DaVinci Dampers Suspension on the Mahindra XUV 7XO is built for Indian roads.

At city speeds, the ride feels comfortable. As speeds increase, the damping firms up, keeping the body under control during lane changes and braking. It makes highway drives feel settled without changing the core mechanical setup.</p><h2><strong>Triple Screen Setup</strong></h2><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Mahindra-XUV-7XO-Interior-1767769956215.webp" alt="Mahindra XUV 7XO Interior.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The cabin now features a triple-screen layout housed in a single panel. This includes a digital instrument cluster, a central infotainment touchscreen, and a dedicated passenger display. The design brings a clean dashboard layout and places the XUV 7XO alongside newer SUVs that focus on screen-based interiors. From the driver’s seat, all key information stays within easy view, while the passenger gets their own display to interact with.</p><h2><strong>Rear Ventilated Seats</strong></h2><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Mahindra-XUV-7XO-Middle-Seats-1767769960668.webp" alt="Mahindra XUV 7XO Middle Seats.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Rear ventilated seats make their debut on the XUV 7XO. This feature is still rare in this segment. While front ventilation is now common, offering it for second-row passengers improves comfort on long drives. It is especially useful in hot and humid Indian conditions, where rear-seat comfort often matters just as much as the front.</p><h2><strong>16-Speaker Harman Kardon Audio System</strong></h2><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Mahindra-XUV-7XO-Harman-Kardon-Audio-System-1767769944618.webp" alt="Mahindra XUV 7XO Harman Kardon Audio System.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The XUV 7XO gets a 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system with Dolby Atmos support. For anyone who enjoys music on the move, this setup adds value to every drive. Sound reaches all rows evenly, making road trips better for both drivers and rear-seat passengers.</p><h2><strong>6 Airbags With Curtain Airbags Till the Third Row</strong></h2>

Curtain airbags extend protection to the third row, covering every passenger. This setup shows a clear focus on occupant safety and adds peace of mind for family use and long-distance travel.</p>
