Top-end variant has the highest waiting period Mahindra still suffering from supply chain issues Waiting period for some models has gone up from last year
Ever since its launch in mid-2021, the XUV700 has proven to be an incredibly popular model for Mahindra. Its attractive design, feature-laden interior, and multiple powertrain options make it one of the best SUVs you can buy in India. However, due to its popularity, it also commands a long waiting period that now stretches to over a year. We take a closer look.

The XUV700’s entry-level MX and AX3 petrol variants have a 6-month waiting period while the diesel models have 7 month waiting. Meanwhile, the waiting time for mid-level AX5 stretches to 8 months for both petrol and diesel variants. The top-end AX7 and AX7L have currently the highest wait period with up to 11 months for the former and 13 months for the latter.

Compared to late last year, waiting periods for the XUV700’s top-end trims have reduced by 2 to 4 months. The SUV’s mid-spec models like the MX, AX3 and AX5 diesel had a wait time of 10 months. However, the waiting period for variants like the MX, AX3 and AX5 petrol has increased by 2 to 4 months.

Mahindra offers the XUV700 with one petrol and one diesel powertrain option. The latter is a 2.2-litre, four-pot turbo diesel that is available in two states of tune, 155 bhp with 360 Nm of torque and 185 bhp with 420 Nm (450 Nm for the AT). While the petrol models use a 2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder motor that makes 200 bhp with 380 Nm of peak torque. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.
Mahindra XUV700 prices start from Rs 14.01 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base MX variant, going up to Rs 26.18 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top AX7L automatic trim. The SUV rivals the likes of the Hyundai Alcazar, MG Hector Plus, Tata Safari, and Mahindra Scorpio N.
