Mahindra XUV 7XO Pre-Bookings Begin December 15 Ahead
Mahindra & Mahindra is gearing up to expand its SUV portfolio with the much-anticipated Mahindra XUV 7XO, scheduled to make its official debut in India on January 5, 2026. Ahead of the unveiling, the automaker has confirmed that pre-bookings will open on December 15, 2025, at 12:00 PM.
Interested buyers can reserve their XUV 7XO through authorized Mahindra dealerships by paying a token amount of ₹21,000. During the booking process, customers will also be able to select their preferred fuel type and transmission option.
Engine and Transmission Options
The Mahindra XUV 7XO is expected to retain the proven powertrain lineup of the XUV7OO. It will likely be offered with:
- 2.0-litre mStallion turbo-petrol engine producing 200 HP and 380 Nm
- 2.2-litre mHawk turbo-diesel engine delivering 182 HP and 450 Nm
Both engines are anticipated to come paired with 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions. While the petrol variant will continue with a front-wheel-drive setup, the diesel version may also offer an all-wheel-drive (AWD) option, similar to the current XUV7OO.

- Revised front and rear bumpers
- Updated lower air dam, rear fog lamps, and scuff plate
Mahindra is also likely to retain popular design elements such as flush door handles, roof rails, and bold body creases. Additional enhancements may include a blacked-out roof, new alloy wheel designs, and exclusive XUV 7XO badging.
Interior and Feature Enhancements
Inside the cabin, the Mahindra XUV 7XO is expected to take a significant leap forward. The SUV could feature a triple-screen dashboard layout, similar to Mahindra’s latest EV offerings. Other expected highlights include:
- Electric boss mode switches
- Panoramic sunroof with ambient lighting effects
- Rear tray tables
- Driver seat with memory function
- Upgraded ADAS package with advanced parking assistance
With these updates, the XUV 7XO aims to offer a more premium, tech-forward, and comfortable driving experience.
Conclusion
The Mahindra XUV 7XO appears set to build upon the success of the XUV7OO with refreshed styling, modern technology, and powerful engine options. With pre-bookings starting soon and a launch slated for early 2026, the upcoming SUV is expected to attract strong interest from buyers looking for a feature-rich and performance-oriented offering in the segment.
