Mahindra has commenced bookings for the newly launched XUV700. Interested customers can book their SUV online (via Mahindra’s website) or offline (at your closest dealership). The SUV maker has rolled out a new feature, where interested customers can pre-configure the SUV to their liking before booking it.

The XUV700 is offered in a total of four variants: MX, AX3, AX5, and AX7. The top-spec AX7 can be specced with an optional Luxury Pack and an all-wheel drive system (diesel only). Mahindra’s midsize SUV is priced between Rs 11.99 lakh and Rs 22.89 lakh (ex-showroom). Mind you, these are introductory prices for the first 25,000 bookings. Take a look at the detailed variant-wise features here.

The XUV700 is offered with either a 2-litre turbo-petrol or a 2.2-litre diesel engine, both paired with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The diesel engine is offered in two tunes depending on the variant, and is the only option that can be teamed with an all-wheel drivetrain.
