The automotive industry is buzzing with a surprising move by Mahindra! In a bold strategy, they've slashed the price of their XUV700, making it an even more enticing option for budget-conscious families.
But here's the shocker: Australia's most affordable seven-seater just got a massive $4000 price cut, positioning it at an unbelievable $35,990 drive-away. That's right, you can now own this spacious SUV for less than the price of some compact cars!
Previously, the Mahindra XUV700 was already a steal at $39,990 drive-away, but this new deal takes it to a whole new level. And when you compare it to other seven-seaters, the value becomes even more apparent. The Nissan X-Trail ST AWD, for instance, starts at over $5000 more, and that's before on-road costs.
Other competitors like the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max ($41,990 drive-away) and Mitsubishi Outlander ES ($42,540 before on-roads) can't match the XUV700's price tag. Even the LDV D90 Mode RWD, priced at $43,647 drive-away, is significantly more expensive.
The XUV700 comes in two variants: the AX7, starting at $35,990 drive-away, and the AX7L, which adds extra features like a 360-degree camera, smartphone projection, and an additional airbag for just $3000 more. Both variants pack a punch with a powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a smooth six-speed automatic transmission.
But there's a catch. The XUV700 hasn't been safety-rated by ANCAP, which might raise some eyebrows. And while the seven-year/150,000km warranty is impressive, the offer is only available until January 31, 2026. So, is this a deal worth rushing for?
