Mahindra XUV 7XO waiting period details
The higher-spec AX7 Tech has a shorter waiting time than other trims
The Mahindra XUV 7XO is offered in six trims: AX, AX3, AX5, AX7, AX7 Tech and AX7 Luxury. According to our dealer sources, the top-spec AX7 Luxury trim with a diesel engine has a six-month waiting period, which is considerably long. At four months, the waiting period for the petrol-AT combination is also quite long.
The one-below-top AX7 Tech trim is the more readily available option, with a waiting period of a month for all engine options, which is the lowest in the SUV’s range. However, compared to the higher-spec AX7 Luxury trim, the AX7 Tech misses out on features such as a powered co-driver’s seat, ventilated rear seats and a rear wireless phone charger.
The mid-spec AX7’s waiting period depends on the chosen engine option. The turbo-petrol option has a waiting period of up to a month, while the diesel iteration will make you wait for 1.5 months. There is a lengthy waiting period of five months for the lower-spec AX5 and AX3, while the base-spec AX trim has an extremely high waiting period of one year.
