Mahindra XUV 7XO Waiting Period Increases to 52 Weeks for Certain Models
Wait times for the entry-level XUV 7XO model might be incredibly lengthy, reaching up to a year in certain situations.
Delivery schedules differ significantly between models, with more expensive trims being available far sooner.
Since making its debut in India earlier this year, the recently released Mahindra XUV 7XO has attracted a lot of interest from buyers. The 7XO, a mid-life redesign of the popular XUV700, offers new amenities and stylish design that have undoubtedly won over SUV consumers.
Alongside the joy, however, a more general narrative has surfaced: delivery schedules for several models of the car are significantly longer than many anticipated.
Waiting times for the XUV 7XO vary significantly between variants, with customer deliveries taking place all around the nation. Demand for the SUV has exceeded Mahindra's initial supply, and prices range from approximately Rs. 13.66 lakh to Rs. 24.92 lakh (ex-showroom).
The base AX model is at the front of the line, and prospective buyers may have to wait up to 52 weeks for their new SUV. This long delay is particularly noticeable for consumers looking for the 7XO's most economical model.
Long waits are a feature of other trims as well, but they are not as bad. Waiting times for mid-range AX3 and AX5 models are approximately 22 weeks each, indicating high demand for all models.
There's good news for customers who value speedier delivery. Waiting times are significantly shorter for the AX7 T variant and some petrol versions of the AX7, roughly four weeks, than for diesel versions of the same model, which take about six weeks.
Even the top-of-the-line models, such as the AX7 L, have shorter wait times than the base model; waiting times are less than a year.
These longer timescales highlight how desperately consumers want the XUV 7XO; strong booking numbers and significant market chatter support this trend. The delivery gap by variant also shows how Mahindra's production capacity is being overloaded as it attempts to fulfill orders on a massive scale.
Prospective purchasers now find that knowing the waiting period for a certain version is nearly as crucial as selecting the appropriate specification; those who choose the most popular trims will undoubtedly be rewarded for their patience.
