Mahindra Australia is offering a $3000 factory bonus across most of its model range, bringing savings for a selection of SUVs.
The offer applies to Mahindra’s seven-seat XUV700 AX7L and Scorpio Z8L and six-seat Scorpio Z8 SUVs delivered before June 30, 2025.
That means you can now get a Mahindra SUV for as little as $38,990 drive-away, depending on the model. The offer doesn’t apply to the XUV700 AX7 or XUV700 Black Edition.
Reduced prices on the Mahindra Scorpio and XUV700 are available now. Contact a dealer via CarExpert for the best deal or call our Concierge team on 1300 587 992.
Discounted pricing is as follows:
| Model | Typical drive-away price | Discounted drive-away price |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 Mahindra XUV700 AX7L | $42,990 | $39,990 |
| 2025 Mahindra Scorpio Z8 | $41,990 | $38,990 |
| 2025 Mahindra Scorpio Z8L | $46,990 | $43,990 |
The discounted pricing makes the XUV700 AX7L the same price as the entry-level AX7, despite offering more equipment.
The XUV700 AX7L is the only one of the three discounted vehicles to be powered by a petrol engine. Under the bonnet is a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder producing 149kW of power and 380Nm of torque, which is then mated with a six-speed automatic transmission to send drive to the front wheels.
Meanwhile, both Scorpios get a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel with 129kW and 400Nm. These models also utilise a six-speed auto, but they offer four-wheel drive.
While both the XUV700 and Scorpio offer three rows of seating, the former is a unibody crossover while the latter is a more traditional body-on-frame SUV.
