Mahindra expected to roll out the first facelift with design and tech upgrades for its flagship ICE SUV early next year
The Mahindra XUV700, the successor to the game-changing XUV500, has brought immense success for the brand since its launch in August 2021. The Tata Safari rival is set to receive a facelift soon, possibly as early as January.
The Mahindra XUV700 will get some comprehensive updates with the facelift. Initially, there were rumours that it would adopt the same unconventional front as the XEV 9e and the upcoming XEV 9S. However, latest spy shots captured during the final phase of testing indicate the ICE model will retain its poised front with minor tweaks to the headlamps, bumper, grille, and fog lamps.
The side profile of the new Mahindra XUV700 is likely to be visually the same for the most part. The flush-fitted door handles should continue being offered in two versions, with the base and middle trims requiring manual input and the top trim deploying electronically. New 17- and 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels could be the only design change here.

At the rear, Mahindra may redesign the bumper and tail lamp clusters of the XUV700 with the upcoming refresh. Connected tail lamps are a trend in this segment these days, with Mahindra’s own XEV 9e being part of the trend, but the company is unlikely to offer that feature on the XUV700, ensuring a classy, conventional look.
The interior of the new Mahindra XUV700 will have substantial upgrades, both visually and functionally. Mahindra will redesign the XUV700’s dashboard to incorporate a new panel that integrates three 12.3-inch displays, including a touch-operated unit for the front passenger.

Like in the XEV 9e and the upcoming XEV 9S, the look won’t be as cohesive as in global cars, but tech-savvy customers will appreciate the inclusion of a new passenger touchscreen that allows them to stream videos and music, play games, and make video calls.
Mahindra discontinued the five-seat version of the XUV700 earlier this year, and like now, it may continue offering the SUV in six- and seven-seat versions following the facelift. The company is not expected to bring any changes to the engine or transmission options. It may price the updated model from around 14 lakh rupees (ex-showroom).
