Interiors might be completely revamped – even some spyshots have revealed the model with triple screen setup. We expect Mahindra to design the cabin of the model getting inspired from its BEVs. So, we can expect a pile of new features making its way on the XUV700 facelift. Some of the expected features include – triple screen setup, ADAS level 2+, powered tailgate, a 2-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated Mahindra logo, an auto-dimming IRVM, ventilated rear seats, a 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system and more in its package. 

Under the hood, expect the same 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine (197bhp & 380Nm) & 2.2-litre diesel engine (182bhp & 450Nm) to do the duty. Transmission options include a 6-speed MT or 6-speed AT gearbox. 

Expected Launch & Price

At present, there’s no official confirmation about the launch of XUV700 facelift. However, we expect it to be launched in the first half of 2026. Regarding prices, well, the current model is priced between Rs 16.50 lakh & Rs 30.65 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). However, with a facelift, the prices are expected to see a hike anywhere between Rs 30,000 & Rs 1 lakh.
