Mahindra XUV700: New entry-level variant introduced

A new MX (E) trim, which will sit between the existing MX and AX3 trims, is anticipated to be added by Mahindra to the XUV700 lineup. The main distinction between the Mahindra AdrenoX system and the dual 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system in the AX3 trim over the MX trim is the latter. This also leads to a significant pricing difference between the two; for both the petrol and diesel models, the MX and AX3 differ by Rs 2.43 lakh.

In order to close this pricing difference between the gasoline and diesel lineups, it is expected that the new MX (E) trim will be introduced. Yet since the MX already has an 8.0-inch touchscreen and a 7.0-inch digital insert in the instrument cluster with analogue dials, it's unclear what new features Mahindra will add to the MX (E) level.

Engine details

Despite being modified to comply with RDE and E20 fuel standards, Mahindra will keep using its 2.0-liter petrol and 2.2-liter diesel engines. The diesel engine is offered in two tuning levels: 155 horsepower for base models and 185 horsepower for higher models.

The petrol engine produces 200 horsepower. A 6-speed automatic transmission is an option for both engines, which are mated to 6-speed manual transmissions as standard. Only the highest-specified diesel-auto models from Mahindra come with the AWD system.

Mahindra is famous for the long waiting periods for their cars, for the standard model customers have to wait for two three months and for the middle variants customers have to wait for a period of 5 Months and for the top variants like AX7 and AX7L customers have to wait for over a year.
