Maybe something like this ?

Speculation alert: It might be because they want to keep something up their sleeve, to be unveiled as a sticker shock (of a pleasant kind) on their foundation day (October 2). Or it could be because M&M's market research (if they have done any) identified the 5 seaters as the potential top sellers. Who knows!

At these prices, at least I would definitely prefer a MX Diesel like spacious 5 seater with a huge boot, when it's time to replace my 11 year plus old faithful Scorpio.

It's 160 mm, as mentioned in post # 1358 on page 91:

Since trailers for MX, AX3 and AX5 variants have been put out by Mahindra, a lot of curiosity remains as to the AX7 one. Here's a video that I could find highlighting the Top of the line AX7 variant:

I believe the fit and finish is really great, looks better than the current gen XUV5OO and even Safari. Although what I dislike is the amount of piano black they've used. Along with the off white seats, it'll be a headache to clean this car.

I love the new looks though I am not sure how the height reduction is going to work. Will have to try it. I used to hit my head even in the last XUV 500.

I am still a little unconvinced by the 185/200ps diesel/petrol engines.
Seriously who needs that much power on "most" Indian roads unless you are lugging along a full trailer or racing?
With AT I think the overall mileage will fall below 8-9 kmpl.

I owned the XUV 500 and felt the power of the old one more than adequate even when fully loaded to do a comfortable 140kmph without pushing the engine.
I would honestly love the 155ps setup with the AX series bells and whistles rather than being forced to go for a higher ps just for the AX features.
I have been holding out getting a new 7 seater for the family and wanted to get an AT (which I never did except for the Celerio for city drives and which is not a true AT) and while I love the 700, I am sort of in two minds now thinking what's the point of me getting a beast of an engine like this.

Didn't excite me much. I prefer the classic lines of Harrier and VW twins. In fact this is more like the Xylo which was an ugly car to begin with. The front and the rear of the vehicle look like it's been designed by two different designers. The screen is an overkill for me and prefer the more classic design. I should feel like driving a car and not sitting in front of a computer terminal.

I will surely give this a pass and wait for discounts on the Harrier.

I just wanted to ask thoughts on the plastic tailgate thing, is it really not worrying to anyone, does it not make it less safe despite crash test (frontal impact) rating it 5 stars (iff), just when i was thinking we have a safe & feature rich car at 25L, this tailgate observation left me with a sour mouth.

I would do this sticker-cutting (wrap) job if had my way.



Oops Sorry, Didnt realize this thread has crossed 30-45 pages in one day. I have been condor'd by many guys already.

Nonetheless, I am going for the Petrol variant in a years time hopefully. It more than ticks all the boxes in my list.

Here is the GC:

Mahindra has repeated history just like how they did with XUV500 back in September 2011. Very tempting proposition and the price band is in such a spot such that CSUV aspiring owners like Nexon, EcoSport will look for the base XUV700 or 5 seater version and at the other end of the spectrum (7 seater and diesel AT)this car will compete with Innova and Endevaor gang.

I wish Mahindra can offer a base AWD+AT with driver fatigue+Cruise control as an option pack because I don't want a sunroof + excessive gizom swhich will give more headache in the long run.

The Mhawk engine is a robust and a reliable one, can munch 5-6 lakh kms with proper maintenance and if the electronics and a few ergonomics are sorted, then this car will definitely be a game changer in the car market not just M&M.

I'm sure some NCR guys will come up with conversion kits and a plethora of accessories for this car. Only other point is M&M need to get their servicing right and not be like a while loop

[Sureshmadhan]

Now more grown Cheetah and Lion's pricing will see lot of demands for this product. I hope Mahindra shall fulfill demands this time. I remember they had a very high waiting time for the previous generation. I will not be surprised if Mahindra making apologetic note in news papers and announcements that they are working to fulfil the bookings they have received.

[07CR]

No. Of keys each reviewer has to choose from for reviewing the XUV !

My guess except the base variant all others get the keyless entry and exit.

Is 160mm too low for an SUV?

[Floyd de Souza]

The design seems to be a hybrid Marazzo/Xylo and XUV500 with a few cosmetic tweaks externally and a pretty decent interior.
Am keen to see the driving dynamics and fit and finish, both of which Mahindra vehicles are generally lacking in.

I was elated to see embargo getting lifted but then realised an error may be?
