Mahindra has released another interesting teaser of the anticipated XUV700 facelift, which will go by the name XUV 7XO. It has also announced that bookings for the updated SUV will open at 12:00 PM on 15 December 2025, with a token amount of Rs 21,000. If you’re planning to upgrade to a new SUV or buy one for the first time, the updated Mahindra XUV 7XO could be on your list. The SUV is set to debut on 5 January 2026. Here's everything you need to know about its possible features.
Thanks to the first set of teasers, we already know that the updated XUV700 will feature a redesigned grille inspired by the XEV 9S, and revised taillights. The most recent teaser reveals new highlights, such as dual-pod projector headlamps, blacked-out ORVMs, dynamic turn indicators, and dual-tone alloy wheels. These updates hint at a bolder, more modern, and aggressive design language for the XUV 7XO, setting it apart from its predecessor.
The most recent teaser does not reveal the interior of the XUV 7XO. The Industry reports, however, suggest that the cabin will receive notable updates, including a triple-display setup, a wireless phone charger, and rear ventilated seats. That said, it is likely to retain features from the current XUV700, such as a panoramic sunroof, a 12-speaker Sony audio system, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 6-way powered driver’s seat with memory function, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
