Mahindra has positioned the Mahindra XUV 7XO as a technology-forward three-row SUV that keeps family utility front and centre while adding smarter features as you climb the variant ladder. With petrol and diesel engines, 6- and 7-seat configurations, and a clear progression from AX to AX7 Luxury, the easiest way to understand what’s new is to walk through the highlights, from cabin tech to driver assistance, exactly the way a buyer experiences it.
Range snapshot
The XUV 7XO price range sits at ₹13.66 lakh to ₹24.92 lakh (ex-showroom). Across the line-up, you get:
- 6-seater and 7-seater options
- Petrol and diesel choices
- 6-speed manual (MT) and 6-speed automatic (AT) gearboxes
- AWD availability in top diesel automatic trims
Exterior highlights you’ll spot fast
If you’re scrolling through XUV 7XO images, look for the crisp lighting and the neatly finished touches that make even the entry variant feel complete. Right from AX, you get Bi-LED projector headlamps with DRLs, clear-lens LED tail-lamps, piano-black cladding, roof rails, and a rear spoiler.
The colour palette covers subtle to standout: Desert Myst, Everest White, Nebula Blue, Stealth Black, Ruby Velvet, Galaxy Grey, and Midnight Black.
The cabin: triple screens and richer connectivity
Mahindra has ensured that the 7XO interior makes its point with a coast-to-coast triple 31.24 HD screen layout. Intelligent ADRENOX, smart watch connectivity, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay deliver the everyday convenience, while Alexa with ChatGPT brings voice-led interaction into the mix.
Charging is spread across rows:
- Front Type-C (65W) and Type-A ports
- Rear Type-A and Type-C (65W) ports
- A third-row 12V charging point
Audio also scales with a 16-speaker Harman Kardon system with Dolby Atmos plus features like VenueScapes Live and a 9-band equaliser too.
The variant walk-up: what each step adds
The Mahindra 7XO is structured so upgrades feel purposeful rather than scattered.
AX: the strong foundation
AX covers key daily-use equipment: triple screens, ADRENOX, cruise control, push-button start, rear AC vents for both 2nd and 3rd rows, ISOFIX mounts, and six airbags extending to the third row. It also includes ESC with ABS and EBD, plus traction control, hill hold control, and hill descent control. Tyre position display aids quick checks.
AX3: visibility and wet-weather readiness
AX3 adds the rear-view camera with dynamic guidelines, electrically foldable ORVMs with auto-fold, a rear wiper and washer, and a rear demister – useful upgrades for city parking and monsoon months.
AX5: comfort and convenience
AX5 brings the Skyroof™ panoramic sunroof, front parking sensors, telescopic steering adjustment, R17 versa alloy wheels, map reading lamps, and the convenience of approach unlock and walk-away lock.
AX7: the premium cabin leap
AX7 adds R18 diamond-cut alloys and Advanced Intelligent ADRENOX. Inside, you move to leatherette seats, a leatherette steering wheel and gear lever, and a 6-way power driver seat with memory and welcome retract. It upgrades comfort with dual-zone automatic climate control (max defrost mode) and an air purifier with carbon filter plus AQI display. You also get quiet mode, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlamps, ORVM memory functions, and a 540-degree surround view camera with blind view monitor and digital video recording.
AX7 Tech: the flagship-tech jump
This is where the range feels genuinely new. You get Level-2 ADAS with a sensor suite and ADAS dynamic visualisation, adaptive cruise control, and driver drowsiness detection. It adds ice-cube fog lamps and cornering lamps, a frameless auto-dimming IRVM, a knee airbag, passive keyless entry, an electronic parking brake, electric smart door handles, and a front wireless charger with active cooling.
AX7 Luxury: comfort-first detailing
AX7 Luxury brings R19 diamond-cut alloys, front and rear leatherette door trim, and multi-zone ambient lighting. It also upgrades the media experience with Dolby Vision and Atmos. Seating becomes the hero feature: a 6-way power co-driver seat, 4-way power Boss Mode, ventilated rear seats, plush seat pads, a retractable rear-seat sunblind, and a rear wireless charger with active cooling.
Safety and driver assistance
For many buyers, XUV 7XO safety features are the real headline. Standard protection includes six airbags (front, side and curtain, till the 3rd row), ESC with ABS and EBD, traction control, hill hold, hill descent, and ISOFIX mounts. Moving to AX7 Tech adds Level-2 ADAS with visualisation, adaptive cruise control, driver drowsiness detection, and a knee airbag – features aimed at reducing fatigue and improving awareness on longer drives.
Powertrains and ride: performance with a premium base
The petrol option is a 2.0-litre mStallion TGDi turbo petrol with direct injection, producing 149.2 kW at 5,000 rpm and 380 Nm from 1,750 to 3,000 rpm. The diesel is a 2.2-litre mHawk CRDe turbo diesel with 137 kW at 3,500 rpm and 420 Nm (MT) or 450 Nm (AT) from 1,750 to 2,800 rpm. Both engines pair with 6-speed MT or AT, and diesel variants offer drive modes – Zip, Zap, Zoom, and Custom (diesel only).
Under the body, the SUV uses McPherson struts up front and a multi-link independent rear set-up, both with FSD and stabiliser bars. Braking is via ventilated front discs and solid rear discs, supported by ESP; an electronic parking brake is available on select trims.
Dimensions, wheels, and essentials
The SUV measures 4,695 mm in length, 1,890 mm in width, and 1,755 mm in height (with roof rail), with a 2,750 mm wheelbase. Wheel choices range from R17 steel with full-sized cover to R18 and R19 diamond-cut alloys. Fuel tank capacity is 60 litres.
Pricing pointers
If you’re comparing the XUV 7XO price top model, the ex-showroom range peaks at ₹24.92 lakh. The same band also frames planning for the XUV 7XO on-road price, especially when choosing petrol versus diesel and deciding between MT, AT, and AWD availability.
Final word
From its triple-screen cockpit and a stronger ADRENOX stack to the step-change of Level-2 ADAS on AX7 Tech, the SUV feels built for buyers who want modern tech, strong safety, and genuine three-row usability in one well-rounded package.
