Mahindra is yet to deliver 78,000 units of XUV700; Gets 10,000 bookings every month
Even after a year of its launch, the pace of the roaring success of Mahindra XUV700 is as high as that at the time of its launch back in August 2021. The XUV700 is offered by Mahindra in a host of variants, with both petrol and diesel powertrains and manual and automatic transmission choices. Mahindra has recently confirmed that the XUV700 is still garnering 10,000 new bookings every month, which is an excellent figure for an SUV of its price.
According to Mahindra, the dealer outlets have received around 1.7 lakh bookings of the XUV700 ever since its launch, while the current backlog of the SUV stands at 78,000 units as per ACI. Since its launch in August 2021, around 3,800 units of Mahindra XUV700 are sold every month. This sales figure could have been higher if the automotive industry had not been suffering from the crippling global issue of the shortage of semiconductor chips.

According to Mahindra’s Executive Director, Rajesh Jejurikar, the rate of cancellation of bookings of Mahindra XUV700 ranges between 10-12 per cent. Mahindra claims that it is a figure much lower than their expectations, as some of the variants of the XUV700 are commanding waiting periods as long as 18 to 24 months.
Long waiting periods
Talking about the ground reality, different variants of the Mahindra XUV700 are commanding different waiting periods. Starting with the base-spec MX variants, the waiting period given by the dealer outlets is three to four months for the petrol version and six months for the diesel version. For the MX variant, the XUV700 has a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged 200 PS petrol engine and a 2.2-litre four-cylinder 155 PS diesel engine.
Then comes the manual and automatic AX5 variants, for which Mahindra is taking six months to deliver the petrol automatic variants and up to eight months for the diesel automatic variants. For the range-topping AX7 variants, the XUV700 commands a waiting period of up to eight months for the petrol version and ten months for the diesel version. The AX range of variants is offered with the options of a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged 200 PS petrol engine and a 2.2-litre four-cylinder 185 PS diesel engine.
The Mahindra XUV700 is on sale with both five-seater and seven-seater configurations. The five-seater version competes with SUVs like Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, MG Astor, Skoda Kushaq, Volkswagen Taigun, Nissan Kicks, MG Hector and Tata Harrier. On the other hand, the seven-seater version rivals the likes of Tata Safari, MG Hector Plus and Hyundai Alcazar.
