Mahindra XUV700 5-Seater Trims Delisted From Website: What's Cooking?
In a move that reflects changing consumer preferences, Mahindra & Mahindra has phased out the 5-seater variants of its popular SUV, the XUV700. Although this decision has not been officially announced, it is evident from the company's website, where models such as the entry-level MX (5-seater) and the mid-range AX3 are no longer listed.
The 5-seater versions of the XUV700 were introduced to be a more affordable option, but they have not been popular with buyers. Instead, customers prefer the larger 6- and 7-seater models, especially the AX7 and AX7L trims as these models come equipped with a range of impressive features, including 18-inch alloy wheels and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). It also has a tyre pressure monitoring system, leatherette upholstery, powered driver's seats with a memory function, and auto-folding outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs).

Additional amenities that enhance its appeal include dual-zone climate control, a 360-degree camera, an electronic parking brake, adaptive cruise control, ventilated seats, wireless charging, and an all-wheel-drive automatic diesel setup.
As a result, Mahindra has discontinued the 5-seater trims and made some significant updates to the lineup. They have launched the 'Ebony Edition' of the XUV700, available only in AX7 and AX7L variants, which features a sleek black design and extra premium features. Additionally, the company has reduced prices on some AX7 and AX7L variants by up to Rs 75,000 to be more competitive in the SUV market.
Despite this shift, the XUV700 is still a strong choice in the mid-size SUV market. It is well-built, safe, and offers powerful engine options including a 2.0-litre mStallion Turbo Petrol With Direct Injection (TGDi) generating 197.3 HP and 380 Nm of torque, and a 2.2-litre mHawk Turbo Diesel with CRDe is available in two versions generating 152.8 HP with 360 Nm for 2WD and 182.3 HP with 420 Nm and 450 Nm for AWD mated to a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Farm wheels spin past autos powered by strong monsoon, rising MSPs, and M&M's market grip Listen to This Article Tractors have been the best-performing segment in the automotive (auto) space in recent months and are expected to outpace the broader auto sector in 2025–26 (FY26).

Eyeing the Tata Harrier EV? Here's what it gets over the Mahindra XEV 9e
The Tata Harrier EV was revealed in near-production guise earlier this year, showing a design that closely follows the Harrier ICE model. Tata Motors has officially introduced its most advanced electric SUV to date—the Tata Harrier EV, with an introductory price tag of ₹ 21.49 lakh (ex-showroom). Built on the brand's plus EV architecture, this new flagship not only brings a futuristic design and strong performance credentials but also stakes a claim as a segment leader in innovation. Positioned directly against Mahindra's upcoming electric SUV coupe, the XEV 9e, the Harrier EV manages to pack in several key advantages that could tip the scales in its favor. 1 Dual-Motor All-Wheel Drive System For the first time in Tata's EV portfolio, the Harrier EV gets a dual-motor setup delivering all-wheel drive capability. The system produces a combined output of 396 PS, with 158 PS from the front motor and 238 PS from the rear, resulting in a total torque of 504 Nm. This not only boosts performance but also adds surefootedness on varying road surfaces. In comparison, the Mahindra XEV 9e is currently offered only with rear-wheel drive, which may limit traction and off-road versatility. 3 Six Terrain Modes for Enhanced Adaptability The Harrier EV offers its drivers six different terrain modes: Normal, Rock Crawl, Mud Ruts, Snow/Grass, Sand, and an option to create one's own setting. That makes the SUV capable of traversing a large variety of road conditions, from city streets to light trails. Conversely, the Mahindra XEV 9e has its package only to three driving modes—Range, Everyday, and Race—optimized more towards performance and economy, with no presetting for specific terrain. 4 Larger 14.5-inch QLED Infotainment Screen The Harrier EV's cabin features a centrally positioned, 14.5-inch QLED touchscreen, designed in association with Samsung. The screen is visually crisp, big, and neatly mounted on the dashboard, contributing to both form and functionality. The Mahindra XEV 9e does have a more futuristic triple-screen configuration, featuring a co-passenger display, but its middle screen is a smaller 12.3 inches.

Tata Harrier EV caught your attention? Here's what it gets over Mahindra XEV 9e
Tata Motors has launched its newest most sophisticated electric SUV to date—the Tata Harrier EV at an introductory price of ₹21.49 lakh (ex-showroom). Designed on the company's plus EV architecture, this new flagship not only offers a future-age design and robust performance credentials but also claims to be a segment leader in terms of innovation. Positioned directly against Mahindra's upcoming electric SUV coupe, the XEV 9e, the Harrier EV manages to pack in several key advantages that could tip the scales in its favor. ₹ 21.9 - 30.5 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 21.49 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 21 - 30 Lakhs ₹ 13 Lakhs Onwards ₹ 25 - 30 Lakhs ₹ 17.49 - 22.24 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon For the very first time in Tata's EV portfolio, Harrier EV arrives with a dual motor arrangement bringing all-wheel-drive capabilities on board. The former outputs a cumulative figure of 396 PS with the front motor churning out 158 PS with the rear motor putting out 238 PS. This results in a maximum torque figure of 504 Nm, which does not only increase the performance number but also gives surefootedness on variegated road surfaces. (Also read: Tata Harrier EV launched at ₹21.49 lakh, brings AWD capabilities. Check details) Parking in small parking spaces is easier with the Harrier EV's Summon Mode, which allows one to drive the car forward or in reverse at slow speeds with the key fob. The feature is ideal for small garages or packed parking lots. While both the Harrier EV and XEV 9e have auto park assist, only Tata's electric SUV carries this simple-to-use manual remote maneuvering feature. The Harrier EV provides its users six terrain modes: Normal, Rock Crawl, Mud Ruts, Snow/Grass, Sand, and the ability to make one's own setting. That puts the SUV in a position to take on a wide range of road types, from urban roads to light trails. (Also read: Tata Harrier EV base variant features revealed. Check them out) On the other hand, the Mahindra XEV 9e has its package to only three driving modes—Range, Everyday, and Race—tuned more towards performance and economy with no presetting for particular terrain. The Harrier EV's interior boasts a centrally located, 14.5-inch QLED touchscreen, co-designed with Samsung. The screen is aesthetically sharp, large, and well mounted on the dashboard, adding to both form and function. The Mahindra XEV 9e does boast a more futuristic triple-screen arrangement, including a co-passenger display, but with a smaller middle screen at 12.3 inches. A standout feature of the Harrier EV is the digital inside rearview mirror (IRVM) that takes a live feed from a rear-mounted camera mounted on the sharkfin antenna. The result is an improved, obstructed-free view of the back. Better still, the IRVM has a dashcam built into it, and provides real-time video recording for added security. The XEV 9e features just a standard auto-dimming IRVM, not this dual-purpose feature.
