Mahindra EOFY deal brings $3000 savings for most models

7NEWS13-05-2025

Mahindra Australia is offering a $3000 factory bonus across most of its model range, bringing savings for a selection of SUVs.
The offer applies to Mahindra's seven-seat XUV700 AX7L and Scorpio Z8L and six-seat Scorpio Z8 SUVs delivered before June 30, 2025.
That means you can now get a Mahindra SUV for as little as $38,990 drive-away, depending on the model. The offer doesn't apply to the XUV700 AX7 or XUV700 Black Edition.
Reduced prices on the Mahindra Scorpio and XUV700 are available now. Contact a dealer via CarExpert for the best deal or call our Concierge team on 1300 587 992.
Discounted pricing is as follows:
The discounted pricing makes the XUV700 AX7L the same price as the entry-level AX7, despite offering more equipment.
The XUV700 AX7L is the only one of the three discounted vehicles to be powered by a petrol engine. Under the bonnet is a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder producing 149kW of power and 380Nm of torque, which is then mated with a six-speed automatic transmission to send drive to the front wheels.
Meanwhile, both Scorpios get a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel with 129kW and 400Nm. These models also utilise a six-speed auto, but they offer four-wheel drive.
While both the XUV700 and Scorpio offer three rows of seating, the former is a unibody crossover while the latter is a more traditional body-on-frame SUV.

2026 MG U9 ute: Payload, GVM and other key details revealed for Ford Ranger rival

The upcoming MG U9 ute has received Australian Design Rule certification that approves it for local roads, and documents seen by CarExpert have revealed some key figures for the first time. The first ute to wear the MG nameplate in Australia is due for release here during the fourth quarter of 2025. Two variants appear in the approval documents, both of which are dual-cab pickups powered by a 2.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine producing 160kW of power and mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and what's referred to as an automatic all-wheel drive system. A torque figure isn't listed, though Chinese data suggests it will be 520Nm. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. While both unnamed variants have a braked towing capacity of 3500kg, matching the class leaders, they differ in both tare mass and gross vehicle mass. The former has a gross vehicle mass (GVM) of 3500kg and a tare mass of 2398kg, from which we can calculate a payload figure of 1102kg. The other variant has a GVM of 3320kg and a tare mass of 2498kg, resulting in a payload figure of 822kg. The MG U9 measures a sizeable 5500mm long, 1997mm wide and 1860mm tall on a 3300mm wheelbase. An optional luggage rack bumps height up to 1874mm. For context, the Ford Ranger 4×4 dual-cab measures 5403mm long, 1918mm wide and 1886mm tall on a 3270mm wheelbase, making the new MG ute notably larger. Dual-cab Rangers also offer a payload figure of between 929kg and 1018kg depending on the variant. Ground clearance for the MG is 220mm, and the U9 will ride on either 18- or optional 20-inch wheels. Other previously confirmed available features include a massaging driver's seat, 'flexible seat functionality to maximise storage and comfort', a JBL sound system, and even walkthrough cab/tub capability. While the U9 is a rebadged version of the upcoming LDV Terron 9, there won't be an EV counterpart for the upcoming eTerron 9 electric ute from MG's SAIC sister brand LDV, at least initially. 'We're considering other drivetrains [for the U9] at the moment, but probably not the EV in the first instance. We're considering something else [like] plug in hybrid,' said chief commercial officer Giles Belcher earlier this year. Local testing of the U9 is underway, and MG has joined forces with the likes of HSP, ARB, and AutoPacific to prepare a suite of genuine accessories including bullbars, protection, tub lids and load racks to be made available as dealer options. The U9 is a key part of MG's plan to become a top-three auto brand in Australia by the end of this decade, and will be one of a raft of new models it releases in new segments for the brand. This also includes the seven-seat QS large SUV and the more premium IM5 and IM6 electric vehicles (EVs), all of which will reach local showrooms in the coming months.

EV brand Leapmotor says its top-seller will have a petrol engine

The Leapmotor C10 REEV Ultra Hybrid has landed in Australia, where the Chinese brand expects the new extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) powertrain option to be more popular than the battery-powered version of the mid-size electrified SUV. First launched here in two variants, the battery-electric C10 was Leapmotor's first model to arrive in Australia, in November 2024, when it became yet another direct rival for the top-selling Tesla Model Y , Kia EV5 and Xpeng G6 . But the hitherto EV-only brand's local boss says the new Leapmotor C10 REEV will be more suitable for Australians when it arrives in showrooms in June, priced from $43,888 before on-road costs – $2000 less than the C10 EV's starting price. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now . The C10 REEV uses a 158kW/320Nm electric motor to drive the rear wheels, but adds a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine acting as a generator to charge its 28.4kWh battery. The official fuel consumption figure is just 0.9L/100km, and claimed total range is 1150km (NEDC) from a fully charged battery and a topped-up 60-litre fuel tank. It's offered in the same Style and Design variants as the C10 EV and features the same equipment levels – apart from the different powertrain – and the only exterior difference is an additional charging flap for the C10 REEV. Speaking during a media call to announce the C10 REEV, Leapmotor Australia boss Andy Huang said the new powertrain is expected to account for around 60 per cent of C10 sales locally, making it the brand's new best-seller. 'We think the REEV, at the moment, is probably meeting more of what our customers in Australia are expecting,' said Mr Huang. 'Our sales forecast is probably 60-40 REEV over BEV, but it's early days and over the next couple of months we'll probably have a better understanding of where those numbers fall.' The local Leapmotor boss said the REEV Ultra Hybrid won't steal sales off the EV – despite its lower price – but will instead add to the brand's overall sales tally. Hybrid vehicle sales in Australia to the end of May 2025 have increased by 18.3 per cent – alongside an overall market decline of 5.2 per cent in the same period – following a 76 per cent rise in 2024. The brand claims the C10 REEV Ultra Hybrid is the first EV-based range-extender vehicle since the 2014-2022 BMW i3 REx , which is technically true. However, while the Mazda MX-30 R-EV was never sold here, e-Power versions of the Nissan X-Trail and Qashqai are effectively EREVs but did not start out as EVs. Mr Huang would not name a direct competitor for the C10 REEV Ultra Hybrid, instead saying the fledgling brand will focus on getting its product mix right ahead of releasing new models. 'I see our competitors, or I see the customer that chooses us, will be someone that's probably for the C10, someone that needs the space and size of a D-size [large] SUV for the family,' he said. 'And then now they can say, 'Oh wow, guess what, for that same price I can actually go for EV, or I can go Ultra Hybrid'. So, it's not one competitor, I think it's more about having the right product in that segment.' The local brand boss told CarExpert earlier this year that all Leapmotor models offered overseas including the B10 small electric SUV and the T03 electric city-car are on the table for Australia , one of the world's most competitive auto markets. 'There's many competitors in the marketplace, it's so competitive,' said Mr Huaag. 'For us, the key to it is about our brand. I think that we have the advantage that we're trying to balance the best of both worlds in making that transition from going from an ICE to an EV or Ultra Hybrid as simple as possible.'
