Top things to expect from the upcoming Mahindra XUV700 Facelift in 2026

According to a latest media report, Mahindra is developing a facelifted version of the XUV700 SUV that is on the cards for an India launch in 2026, along with the upcoming Mahindra Thar Facelift. The XUV700 has brought in good sales numbers for the Indian carmaker, and is also exported to other countries in addition to being sold locally. Here are the top things to expect from the upcoming Mahindra XUV700 Facelift.

Exterior changes

The facelifted Mahindra XUV700 is likely to take inspiration from the styling of the new Mahindra electric SUVs in India — Mahindra BE 6 and Mahindra XEV 9e — featuring futuristic cues and sharp lines. It might get new alloy wheels, squared-off wheel arches, and a new set of lights for both ends.

Powertrain options

We expect the current set of Mahindra XUV700 engine options to be carried over to the facelifted car. These include a 2.2-litre diesel engine paired to a 6-speed manual gearbox and a 6-speed torque convertor automatic, and a 2.0-litre petrol engine paired to a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque convertor automatic.

Since the XUV700 facelift is likely to continue with the same set of engine and transmission options, it presents a great opportunity for the prospective buyers to save big chunks of money without having to miss out on much by choosing from a range of these certified pre-owned Mahindra XUV700 SUVs that promise to deliver an unmatched value.
