Mahindra has unveiled the XUV 7XO, a facelift of the XUV700 that focuses on updated design, expanded technology, and improved safety. The update builds on the XUV700’s strong run since its 2021 launch, with several features now offered as standard across the range.

Inside, the XUV 7XO introduces a new coast-to-coast triple-screen layout running Mahindra’s ADRENOX system, along with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Alexa built-in with ChatGPT integration, and a large suite of connected car features. Comfort upgrades include electrically adjustable front seats, front and rear ventilated seats, dual-zone climate control, ambient lighting, and wireless charging for front and rear occupants.

Exterior changes include a redesigned grille, updated LED lighting, 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, electric smart door handles, and Mahindra’s Skyroof feature.

Power comes from the familiar 2.0-litre turbo petrol and 2.2-litre turbo diesel engines, paired with either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, with all-wheel drive available on select variants. A new DAVINCI suspension system and multiple drive modes are also introduced.

Safety has been expanded significantly, with over 120 safety features available, including Level 2 ADAS, a 540-degree surround-view camera, and up to seven airbags. South African availability has yet to be confirmed.
