What’s New in the Mahindra XUV700 Facelift?

You thought the XUV700 was already ahead of the game? Mahindra is about to raise the stakes. The Mahindra XUV700 facelift has been spotted testing and it’s not just a mild refresh. Big changes inside and out that could redefine the SUV game, with a focus on cutting-edge technology and premium comfort.

Triple-Screen Dashboard: A First in Segment

The highlight is the new triple-screen dashboard. Instead of the current dual-screen setup, the facelift gets a futuristic three-screen layout – one for the driver’s cluster, one for infotainment, and a third for the co-passenger.

Add to that a Harman/Kardon 16-speaker system and a redesigned steering wheel with Mahindra’s illuminated Twin Peaks logo and you’ve got a cabin that’s truly next-gen.

Exterior Updates: Sharper and Meaner

The outside isn’t left untouched. The facelifted XUV700 gets:

• New front grille and sharper LED headlamps with a fresh DRL signature.
• New tail lamps, possibly a full-width LED strip for a modern look.
• New alloy designs, Napoli Black shade and dual-tone paint options for higher trims.

These changes make the SUV look bolder and more commanding without losing its road presence.

Engine and Launch

Under the hood, Mahindra isn’t changing the winning formula. The facelift continues with the 2.0L turbo-petrol and 2.2L turbo-diesel engines with both manual and automatic gearbox options. AWD available on select diesel trims.

Launch is expected early 2026. That’s just in time to take on updated rivals like the Hyundai Alcazar and Tata Safari.
