check offers The 2026 Mahindra XUV 7XO is not an SUV that you can understand at a glance. Instead of offering a handful of trims, Mahindra has spread the 7XO across a wide range of prices, engines and seating layouts. For buyers, that means more options — but also more decisions to make before signing on the dotted line.
With prices starting from Increasing till 13.66 lakh more Rs 24.11 lakh (initial, ex-showroom), the XUV7XO covers almost the entire mid-size three-row SUV space. These prices are applicable for the first 40,000 deliveries, after which Mahindra plans to revise it. Practically, this makes early clarity on variants and features especially important for potential buyers.

Mahindra XUV 7XO: Exterior and interior color options
The color palette of the XUV 7XO leans more towards darker colors. Buyers looking for lighter colors can choose Desert Mist or Everest White, while options like Galaxy Grey, Midnight Black, Nebula Blue, Ruby Velvet and Stealth Black are there for those who prefer darker colors. On the inside, Mahindra has introduced a beige-and-brown cabin theme, which aims to make the interior feel warmer and less tech-centric, especially in the higher trims.
Where the XUV 7XO fits in this segment
The XUV 7XO competes with familiar names like Hyundai Alcazar, MG Hector Plus and Tata Safari. Like these rivals, it offers both petrol and diesel engines with manual and automatic gearboxes. What differentiates Mahindra's approach is how many combinations it offers within a model line, rather than pushing buyers toward a narrow “recommended” version.
Six trims, AX, AX3, AX5, AX7, AX7T (Tech) and AX7L (Luxury), allow the 7XO to appeal to very different buyers, from those upgrading from a compact SUV to those looking for a feature-heavy family tourer.
