More information
Just four versions of the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol XUV700 AX7 and AX7 L get the pricing drop. The AX7 auto 6- and 7-seater trims experience price drops by Rs 45,000, and 6 and 7 seater editions of the AX7 L auto are Rs 75,000 lower priced. In contrast to the diesel trims, the turbo-petrol manuals receive no price drops.
Conclusion
Mahindra has lowered the prices of certain XUV700 AX7 and AX7 L models in a strategic manner, which is more appealing to customers. Up to Rs 75,000 of price reduction benefits both turbo-petrol and diesel automatic trim models, excluding the recently launched XUV700 Ebony Edition. Despite an impending 3% price increase in Mahindra's range, these reductions place the high-end XUV700 models within a more reachable bracket. But manual variants are not affected by the price reduction.
