Mahindra has made a strategic decision to discontinue the five-seater versions of its popular XUV700, focusing instead on enhancing its flagship ICE SUV. Now available exclusively in six and seven-seater configurations, the starting price has been adjusted to Rs 14.49 lakh ex-showroom, India, up from the previous Rs 13.99 lakh.

The mid-spec XUV700 AX5 and AX5 S trims now come standard with seven seats, ensuring ample space for families and groups. Furthermore, both six- and seven-seat options remain available in the premium AX7L and AX7 top variants, catering to diverse customer needs. This adjustment not only streamlines the product offering but also positions Mahindra’s XUV700 as an even more attractive option for those seeking spaciousness without compromising on quality or comfort.

From Five to None: Mahindra XUV700 5-Seaters Discontinued in 2025

The Mahindra XUV700 lineup is now streamlined, boasting 43 impressive variants, including the newly launched Ebony Edition. Effective May 5, 2025, buyers can find these models starting at an attractive ex-showroom price of Rs 14.49 lakh for the base MX petrol manual with seven seats and going up to the premium AX7 L diesel automatic Ebony Edition with seven seats. The XUV700 offers powerful performance options with a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine delivering 200hp and 380Nm of torque, as well as a versatile 2.2-litre diesel engine that comes in two configurations: one producing 155hp and 360Nm and another providing up to an impressive 185hp and between 420Nm and 450Nm of torque. Customers have the flexibility to choose between manual or automatic gearboxes for both engines; however, if you’re interested in all-wheel drive (AWD), it’s exclusively available with the diesel-automatic setup.
