New Delhi, May 6 Mahindra & Mahindra has updated its popular XUV700 lineup by discontinuing all 5-seater variants, positioning the SUV exclusively as a 6- and 7-seater model. This strategic move reinforces the XUV700’s identity as a family-oriented vehicle, but also brings with it a price revision, with the base price now increased to ₹14.49 lakh (ex-showroom), up from the previous ₹13.99 lakh.

Key Changes in the Updated Mahindra XUV700 Lineup
-
All 5-seater variants eliminated
-
Now offered only as 6- and 7-seater configurations
-
Base variant: MX Petrol Manual 7-seater
-
Top variant: AX7 L Diesel Automatic AWD (Ebony Edition)
-
Total variants available: 43

Price range: ₹14.49 lakh to ₹25.15 lakh (ex-showroom)
Price Hike Breakdown
| Variant | Previous Price | Updated Price (Ex-showroom) |
|---|---|---|
| MX Petrol Manual (7-seater) | ₹13.99 lakh | ₹14.49 lakh |
| AX7 L Diesel AT AWD (Ebony) | ~₹24.95 lakh | ₹25.15 lakh |
The increase in prices reflects the added seating capacity and the repositioning of the SUV in a more premium family segment.
Ebony Edition Enhancements
Mahindra continues to push premium appeal with the Ebony Edition, now topping the XUV700 range. This edition includes:
-
Gloss black styling elements
-
Top-tier features
-
Exclusive interior detailing
-
Available only in AX7 L trim with AWD
Variant Strategy: From Entry-Level to Fully Loaded
With the reshuffle, Mahindra aims to simplify buyer choices and enhance the SUV’s family appeal:
-
The MX Petrol Manual serves as the entry-level offering but now comes with 7 seats, previously limited to 5.
-
The AX7 L variants, particularly in Ebony Edition, pack the most features including ADAS, dual 10.25-inch screens, Sony 3D sound system, and AWD option.
Why Mahindra Made the Change
The discontinuation of 5-seaters aligns with buyer trends leaning toward multi-passenger, feature-rich SUVs. With increased demand for larger family vehicles, Mahindra appears to be phasing out lower-cost, compact offerings in favor of a more unified premium SUV lineup.
