Mahindra & Mahindra has officially commenced bookings for the highly anticipated XUV 7XO, the successor to the immensely popular XUV700. With a booking token set at ₹21,000, this new SUV is not just a name change but a significant leap in terms of technology, design, and luxury. Designed as a “Software-Defined Vehicle” (SDV), the XUV 7XO aims to redefine the premium three-row SUV segment in India.
Meta Description: Mahindra XUV 7XO bookings are now open at ₹21,000. Discover the new triple-screen cockpit, Level 2 ADAS, 19-inch alloys, and full variant-wise price list of the XUV700 successor.
Sharp and Aggressive: The New Exterior Design
The Mahindra XUV 7XO features a much more aggressive and modern stance compared to its predecessor. The front fascia is dominated by a newly styled piano-black grille with jewel-like “talon” inserts.
- Lighting: The SUV gets revised LED projector headlamps framed by distinctive boomerang-shaped LED DRLs. At the rear, it features connected LED tail-lamps with intricate hexagonal detailing, giving it a high-tech look.
- Wheels: New 19-inch dual-tone diamond-cut alloy wheels replace the 18-inch units from the older model, providing a more commanding road presence.
- Profile: While the silhouette remains familiar, the redesigned bumpers and gloss-black cladding around the wheel arches add a fresh, premium touch.
Next-Gen Cabin: Triple-Screen Setup and Premium Comfort
The biggest transformation is inside the cabin. Mahindra has introduced a “Coast-to-Coast” triple-screen setup, where each display measures 12.3 inches. This includes a digital instrument cluster, a central infotainment system, and a dedicated screen for the front passenger.
- Luxury Features: The interior follows a dual-tone brown, beige, and tan theme with soft-touch leatherette surfaces. It now includes a 6-way electrically adjustable co-driver seat with ‘Boss Mode’, ventilated seats for the first two rows, and customizable ambient lighting.
- Audio and Tech: Music enthusiasts will appreciate the 16-speaker Harman Kardon system featuring Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision support—a first for an ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) SUV in India.
- Convenience: The SUV comes with dual-zone climate control, a 540-degree surround-view camera, and dual wireless phone charging (front and rear).
