Mahindra XUV700 waiting period extended
The XUV700, one of Mahindra’s most popular SUVs among Indian buyers for its tech-laden cabin and refined powertrains, has commanded long waiting periods ever since its launch in 2021.
The petrol versions of the entry-level MX and AX3 trims have a waiting period of up to six months, while their diesel counterpart commands a waiting period of up to seven months. The waiting periods for the mid-spec AX5 petrol and diesel trims run up to eight months.
However, it is the top-spec AX7 and AX7L trims that have the highest waiting periods; those looking to buy the former now have to wait up to 11 months or 23 months for the AX7L trim!
The XUV700 gets a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 200hp and 380Nm of torque. It also gets a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine in two states of tune — 155hp and 360Nm of torque, and 185hp with 420Nm (450Nm with AT) of torque.
Both engines are mated to a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic gearbox. However, only the diesel engine gets the option for all-wheel drive.
Prices for the XUV700 range between ₹14.01 lakh and ₹26.18 lakh (ex-showroom). The three-row version of the XUV700 rivals the Tata Safari, MG Hector Plus and Hyundai Alcazar, while the two-row version rivals the Tata Harrier and MG Hector SUVs.

How do you create a Christmas tree with crochet? Take notes from crochet artist Sheena Pereira, who co-founded Goa-based Crochet Collective with crocheter Sharmila Majumdar in 2025. Their artwork takes centre stage at the Where We Gather exhibit, which is part of Festivals of Goa, an ongoing exhibition hosted by the Museum of Goa. The collective’s multi-hued, 18-foot crochet Christmas tree has been put together by 25 women from across the State. “I’ve always thought of doing an installation with crochet. So, we thought of doing something throughout the year that would culminate at the year end; something that would resonate with Christmas message — peace, hope, joy, love,” explains Sheena.
