The outcome is quite acceptable as midsize SUVs are more popular with a diesel powertrain rather than a large turbo-petrol engine

Mahindra sold 5,701 units of the XUV700 in November 2022.
Of them, 4,605 units were diesel-powered.
XUV700 has a waiting period of up to a whopping 16 months.
Prices range between Rs 13.45 lakh and Rs 24.95 lakh.

The Mahindra XUV700 has always been a popular model and the waiting period for it stretches up to a whopping 16 months (in some cities). Despite the Scorpio N making a bang with similar pricing, the XUV700 remains a popular choice among midsize SUV buyers. Now, sales figures of the XUV700 for November 2022 are in and we tell you which fuel choice is popular among the midsize SUV’s buyers.

Mahindra XUV700: Petrol vs Diesel Sales

Powertrain	Sept 2021	Sept 2022	Oct 2021	Oct 2022	Nov 2021	Nov 2022
Petrol	1,074	2,234	3,244	1,863	2,027	1,096
Diesel	296	3,829	163	3,952	1,180	4,605

The petrol variants of the XUV700 were indeed popular, especially in September and October 2022. Heck, during the same period last year, the petrol variants outsold the diesel by a significant margin. In 2022 though, the diesel variants of the XUV700 were more popular than the petrol variants.

This is due to the fact that when Mahindra commenced deliveries of the XUV700 in 2021, only the petrol variants were initially rolled out, followed by diesel trims. So that explains why the petrol variant was more popular in 2021.

Typically, in the midsize SUV segment, diesel variants enjoy more popularity than petrol trims as they are more torquier and much more frugal. Turbo-petrol engines put out more outright power, but they are super thirsty, especially when you have a hard right foot.
