Mahindra XUV 7XO | What’s new and what still needs fixing | First Drive Review | Evo India

The Mahindra XUV 7XO is a heavy facelift of the XUV700, but does it actually fix what needed fixing? In this drive review, we look beyond the spec sheet to find out whether Mahindra has actually fixed what needed fixing, made the good bits even better, and left the right things alone? The XUV 7XO gets a thoroughly updated cabin with new materials, a beige-brown interior theme, a triple-screen layout available from entry variants, rear seat ventilation, boss mode, sun blinds, a tablet mount and an upgraded 16-speaker audio system. Ride comfort has also been revised with new DAVINCI dampers, aimed at improving control on bad roads and stability at highway speeds. Mechanically, the XUV 7XO retains the familiar turbo-petrol and diesel engines, along with the option of AWD on the diesel. Prices start at ₹13.6 lakh and go up to ₹24.9 lakh (ex-showroom, introductory), making this one of the most feature-packed family SUVs in its segment. So is the Mahindra XUV 7XO a meaningful evolution of the XUV700? Does it finally deliver the premium feel, comfort and usability buyers were asking for? And is it still one of the best SUVs to drive in its class? Watch the full review to find out. #evoIndia #mahindraauto #mahindraxuv #xuv7xo #SUV Want more #ThrillOfDriving videos?
