Mahindra has increased the price of select variants of its popular SUV, the XUV 7XO, by up to Rs 20,000. The price revision applies to certain 2WD petrol and diesel models, including the AX3, AX5, AX7 and AX7T variants. The company has not changed the prices of the base and top variants.

The highest increase of Rs 20,000 is on the AX7 diesel manual variant, whose new ex-showroom price is Rs 19.80 lakh. Other variants see hikes ranging from Rs 7,499 to Rs 20,000. There are no changes to the engine, power, or features of the SUV.
The price hike targets mid-range variants that are often the most popular with buyers, so it directly affects a large portion of XUV 7XO customers. Mahindra has left the base and top-end prices untouched, which may be a strategy to keep entry-level and fully-loaded buyers from switching brands. The increase of up to Rs 20,000 is modest compared to the overall price of the SUV, but for a buyer on a tight budget it could push their preferred variant out of reach. The article does not say whether this is a seasonal adjustment or a permanent revision, so customers should check with dealerships before booking.
