Mahindra XUV700 to get affordable MX Petrol Automatic variant

Prices for the XUV700 MX Petrol AT variant could be announced in the coming weeks.

Mahindra is likely to introduce a new entry-level petrol automatic variant of the XUV700. According to a Type Approval Certificate issued by ARAI, the XUV700 will get a new 'MX' Petrol AT trim, making it the most affordable petrol automatic variant of the SUV.

Currently, Mahindra offers the automatic gearbox in the AX3, AX5 and AX7 trims only, with prices starting at Rs 18.19 lakh (ex-showroom). The new MX AT variant will help bring down the base price of the XUV700 automatic considerably.

That being said, the MX range misses out on several advanced features that are available in the AX trims. These include an 8-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, two additional speakers, a rear seat armrest and a 60:40 split folding rear seat.

The XUV700 MX AT is likely to get an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wired Android Auto and 4 speakers, a 7-inch instrument cluster, follow-me-home headlights and powered ORVMs; among others.
