Mahindra has always been known for making strong, reliable, and feature-packed SUVs. The Mahindra XUV700 is one of their most popular models, especially in the premium midsize SUV segment in India. Known for its powerful performance, feature-loaded cabin, and road presence, the XUV700 has quickly become a top choice for Indian SUV buyers.
Now, Mahindra has made a major move – the XUV700 AWD (All-Wheel Drive) variant is now more affordable by up to ₹2 lakh! This makes it a great time to consider this SUV if you were waiting for a powerful 7-seater with AWD capabilities.

✅ Mahindra XUV700 AWD Now Available in AX7 Variant
Earlier, the AWD option was only available in the top-spec AX7L diesel automatic variant, which had an on-road price of ₹30.48 lakh (Mumbai). Now, Mahindra is offering the AWD system in the lower AX7 trim, bringing the price down to ₹27.96 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). That’s a solid ₹2 lakh difference!
This move makes the Mahindra XUV700 AWD more accessible to buyers looking for an SUV that can handle tough roads, hills, and monsoon driving conditions – especially useful in India’s varied terrain.
💡 AWD is only available with the diesel automatic version, not petrol.
🚘 Powertrain & Performance
The Mahindra XUV700 offers two engine options:
- 2.0-litre Turbo Petrol – 197 bhp & 380 Nm
- 2.2-litre Diesel – 182 bhp & 420 Nm (450 Nm with AWD)
Both engines come with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed torque converter automatic. If you choose the diesel automatic with AWD, you get a torquey and capable machine ready for highways or weekend getaways in the mountains.
🌟 Features That Stand Out
Even the AX7 variant, now with AWD, comes loaded with premium features such as:
- Panoramic Skyroof – perfect for enjoying long drives
- Dual 10.25-inch displays – one for infotainment, one for digital instrument cluster
- Alexa built-in voice commands
- Premium cabin materials
- 6 airbags, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), 360-degree camera, and more
You’ll feel the premium Mahindra build quality inside the cabin. The seats are wide and supportive, the layout is modern, and there’s enough tech to impress even the toughest critics.
💸 Price Range of Mahindra XUV700
- Starting Price (on-road, Mumbai): ₹16.73 lakh
- Top-end AWD Diesel Auto: ₹27.96 lakh (AX7) to ₹31.46 lakh (AX7L)
For this price, the XUV700 offers excellent value, especially now that AWD is available at a lower price point.
🧠 Our Take
If you are in the market for a powerful, comfortable, and tech-rich SUV with all-wheel drive, the Mahindra XUV700 AX7 AWD is now one of the best value-for-money options. With the ₹2 lakh price drop, it becomes more attractive for those who love road trips, off-roading, or just want a more planted and confident SUV for daily use.
