The Mahindra XUV700 lineup has received a handful of upgrades for 2025, but prices are up across the range.
Headlining the changes for the Indian-build mid-sized SUV is a new black interior trim as standard, replacing the controversial white upholstery in previous XUV700s.
In addition to this, the AX7L has gained a handful of features from the more expensive Black Edition, such as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ventilated front seats and mirror memory functions.
These upgrades have resulted in a $3000 price increase for both the entry-level AX7 and the flagship AX7L, which now start from $39,990 and $42,990 drive-away, respectively.

The Black Edition remains in the lineup with an unchanged $43,990 drive-away price tag.
All XUV700s purchased between March 1, 2025 and April 30, 2025 – and delivered by the latter date – will be sold with two years (or 25,000km) of complimentary servicing, representing a $714 saving.
However, metallic paint has now become an extra-cost option, incurring a $495 premium.
Orders for the updated seven-seat SUV are now open.
