Nearly five years after introducing the XUV700, Mahindra has launched the XUV 7XO as its thoroughly updated successor. The XUV 7XO’s exterior is an evolution over the XUV700’s design but retains the same dimensions as the latter. However, the facelift has brought along new styling cues both on the exterior and interior while extending the premium look and feel of the XUV700.

If you have a budget of around Rs 20 lakh, the AX7 trim represents good value by packing in plenty of features, both for the front- and rear-seat occupants, and offering all available powertrain options. On the other hand, if you are chauffeur-driven regularly and like individual captain seats instead of the regular bench-type, upgrading to the top-end AX7L will leave little room for complaints. Not only does this top trim offer seat ventilation and sunblinds, but it also gets a dedicated charging pad for the middle-row occupants.
