Mahindra XUV700 Gets Two New Colour Options, Surpasses 2 Lakh Unit Production Milestone

Mahindra has crossed a major milestone by rolling the 2,00,000th unit of the XUV700 off the production line. It took the Mahindra XUV700 nearly 3 years (33 months) to achieve this feat, since its launch in India in August 2021. The SUV had surpassed the 1 lakh-unit production mark in 21 months, and then it took about 12 months for the XUV700 to reach the next 1,00,000th unit. 

To mark this occasion, Mahindra has added two new exterior paint job options to the existing palette – Deep Forest and Burnt Sienna, taking the count to nine. Other colour options are Midnight Black, Napoli Black, Red Rage, Dazzling Silver, Electric Blue, and Everest White. Priced between Rs 13.99 lakh and Rs 26.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the Mahindra XUV700 comes in seven variants: MX, AX3, AX5, AX5 Select, AX7, AX7 Luxury, and AX7 Luxury Blaze Edition. Speaking of which, the XUV700 line-up recently got a new variant called the AX5 Select.

The Mahindra XUV700 AX5 Select is a seven-seat SUV with an internal combustion engine and premium features to back it up. At an ex-showroom price of Rs 16.89 lakh (starting price), the Mahindra XUV700 AX5 Select offers a skyroof, a dual HD Superscreen (a 10.24-inch infotainment system and a 10.24-inch digital instrument cluster), and a push-button start/stop, all three of which are typical of higher-end variants. Other bits include an AndrenoX system, six speakers, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, and Follow-Me-Home headlamps with LED daytime running lights. 

Mahindra XUV700: Powertrain

Under the hood, the XUV700 gets two engine options – 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and 2.2-litre diesel. The turbo-petrol setup produces a maximum power output of 197bhp and peak torque of 380Nm, while the diesel mill churns out 182bhp and 450Nm of torque. There are two gearbox options: a six-speed manual or a six-speed torque converter automatic. The more advanced diesel SUV models have the option of the AWD system, while the petrol variants are available only with a front-wheel-drive setup.
