The SUV was launched back in August 2021 and it was due for an update considering that the rivals had started catching up to it. Now, for the first time the facelifted version of the XUV700 was spotted on the Indian roads. 2026 Mahindra XUV700 facelift: Visual changes From the images, we can tell that the XUV700 will now get a new set of headlamps and LED Daytime Running Lamps. There will also be a new grille design along with an updated bumper. From the sides, there are no visible changes but we can expect that there would be a new set of alloy wheels.

We are not expecting Mahindra to make big mechanical changes to the XUV700 facelift. It will continue to come with a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine and a 2.2-litre diesel engine. The petrol variant delivers a maximum power of 197 bhp at 5,000 rpm, along with a peak torque of 380 Nm, which is available between 1,750 rpm and 3,000 rpm. We hope that Mahindra offers driving modes with the petrol engine with the facelift which would help in improving the fuel economy of the SUV. The diesel engine generates a maximum power of 182 bhp at 3,500 rpm, producing a torque of 420 Nm when coupled with the manual gearbox and 450 Nm with the automatic transmission.
