The Mahindra XUV700 is the new flagship model in the carmaker's line-up.
Mahindra has shaken up the mid-size SUV market with the rather aggressive pricing of its latest flagship model. The all-new Mahindra XUV700 has been launched in India with prices starting from ₹ 11.99 lakh for the base MX petrol variant, while the MX diesel has been priced at ₹ 12.49 lakh. The AX3 petrol trim will cost ₹ 13.99 lakh while the AX5 petrol variant has been at ₹ 14.99 lakh, (all prices ex-showroom). The SUV just made its global debut earlier on Saturday and the carmaker has taken us by surprise with the unanticipated launch of the lower variants of the SUV. The remaining diesel and the range-topping AX7 variant will go on sale in India next month and now we hope even those will be priced as competitively.
