First owner of Mahindra XUV700 AWD LUX takes delivery.
Mahindra XUV700 MX and AX3 petrol variants face the least waiting period of 22-31 weeks, which is still over six months
Mahindra XUV700 has seen outstanding demand ever since it was launched. This new SUV, available in a price range of Rs. 12.95 – 23.79 lakh, topped the SUV sales charts last month – beating more established models such as the Harrier, Safari, Hector and Alcazar by a significant margin.
It may be recalled that Mahindra XUV700 was launched in India in September 2021. Deliveries of its petrol variant commenced from the last week of October while deliveries of XUV700 diesel variants only started from the end of November 2021.
The company had to defer deliveries on account of the hefty bookings along with dire shortage of semi-conductors that even continues to date. These extended waiting periods are not only for new bookings but also apply to those who placed their orders at the first round of bookings that opened on 7th October and second round on 8th October.
