Why Consider XUV700 Over Its Rivals (Now)
Here are some positive angles to stress, especially now that discounts improve its value:
-
Feature rich: XUV700 is known for strong feature list (ADAS, digital cockpit, strong safety, good infotainment) – with discount, you get premium features at lower cost.
-
Tax saving edge: Many rivals may not fully pass on GST benefits or may have fewer aftermarket/dealer bonuses. With XUV700, the GST cut + festive discount is stacking in your favor.
-
Range of trims: Because the benefits vary by variant, you can get better value in both base trims (MX / AX3) and higher trims (AX7L), depending on your budget.
-
Resale / network: Mahindra has strong service network and residual value for its popular SUVs; lower purchase cost improves cost of ownership.
-
Festive timing: Buyers during festival months tend to get better deals (dealers want to close sales) – makes negotiating for further extras easier.
What About the Upcoming XUV700 Facelift?
While the current XUV700 discounts make it one of the most value-packed SUVs this festive season, there’s also a buzz about the upcoming facelift version.
-
Expected timeline: Reports suggest Mahindra could launch the XUV700 facelift in early 2026, with test mules already spotted on Indian roads.
-
Likely updates: Expect design tweaks such as a refreshed grille, reprofiled headlamps/taillamps, and possibly new alloy designs. Inside, Mahindra may update the infotainment system, add new connected tech, and improve interior material quality.
-
Powertrains: The proven 2.0-liter turbo-petrol and 2.2-liter diesel engines are expected to continue, though slight tuning for efficiency or compliance with upcoming emission norms is possible.
-
Price positioning: As with most facelifts, prices could increase by ₹50,000 – ₹1,00,000, depending on the added features.
👉 Should you wait or buy now?
-
If you want the latest design and features, and are willing to pay a higher price, waiting for the facelift makes sense.
-
But if savings matter most, the current discounts (up to ~₹1.9 lakh combined with GST + festive offers) make the existing XUV700 a fantastic value deal, especially since the mechanicals are unlikely to change much.
