A thorough examination of the 2026 Mahindra XUV700 facelift's interior, exterior, and feature improvements.
Details about the powertrain, pricing, and anticipated launch schedule that won't change from the present model.
The XUV700's impending facelift has been observed and tested once more in India, providing us with a closer look at the design modifications.
Expect new alloy wheel designs, a new LED daytime light signature, updated twin-pod projector headlamps, and a redesigned grille with vertical slats. The back may have a redesigned bumper and a connected LED light bar, but the side appearance is mostly unchanged.
Recent spy photos of several test mules, including a convoy in Maharashtra, suggest that testing is intensifying.
Tech and Interior Upgrades
Inside the cabin is one of the main areas of concentration for this update. Inspired by the EV brother Mahindra XEV 9e, reports suggest the XUV700 facelift will have a revolutionary triple-screen layout (infotainment + driver display + perhaps passenger screen).
A two-spoke steering wheel, an upgraded high-end audio system, and improved second-row luxury and ventilated seats are examples of other enhancements.
Under-the-Hood and Powertrain Conditions
The vehicle's core will essentially stay the same d
espite the outside modifications. The current 2.0-liter turbo-petrol (around 197 horsepower, ~380 Nm) and 2.2-liter turbo-diesel (155–185 horsepower, up to ~450 Nm, depending on variation) engines are anticipated to remain part of the XUV700 makeover.
The optional all-wheel-drive system for diesel versions and the transmission options (6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic) are probably going to remain the same.
Timeline for Launch and Expected Prices
It is anticipated that the updated XUV700 will go on sale in the first half of 2026, with minor price increases over the present model. The prices for the base model of the XUV700 are currently under wraps and will soon be revealed.
