Mahindra XUV700 MX 7-Seater
Just a few weeks ago, Mahindra also expanded the XUV700 lineup with the introduction of the MX 7-seater variant. Priced at Rs 15 lakh, this entry-level model was launched to offer an affordable option for families needing extra seating capacity.
The 7-seater MX variant retains the same exterior design and features as the 5-seater model, including halogen headlights, a gloss black grille, and 17-inch silver steel wheels. The interior has also remained the same as it features the 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto, a tilt-adjustable steering wheel, and powered ORVMs.

In addition to the MX variants, Mahindra also launched the AX5 Select variant. This new variant has been launched with a price tag of Rs 16.89 lakh. It has been positioned between the AX3 and AX5 trims. Additionally, it only comes available in a seven-seater layout.
