Mahindra XUV 7XO Exterior design
The overall silhouette has not changed, also no change in the dimensions, as this is a facelift. The major change is in the front and rear. The changes include a new C-shaped DRL, bi-LED headlight and redesigned taillight design. The front grille has also changed, and the bumpers have also changed. Also, the top variant has bigger 19-inch alloy wheels. Overall design is good, but I prefer the design of the old XUV 700.
Mahindra XUV 7XO Interior
The major changes are in the interior, and the triple screen is the main highlight, which you get from the base model. The interior seats come in dual colour beige and brown. Overall quality of the interior has improved, and it has become more premium, with soft-touch material. Though on the top variant, you do not get physical buttons, which you get in the lower variants.
Jumping to the 2nd row, you get ventilated seats in the 2nd row, wireless phone charging, which are the main highlights. You get a recline for the 2nd row, but it misses the sliding function.
The 3rd row lacks knee room for larger adults, but kids or smaller adults would be fine. 2nd row sliding would have made the 3rd row much better. You do have reclining for the 3rd row, AC vents and cup holders.

Verdict
Overall, the XUV 7XO has gotten much better in the interior, with triple screen, ventilated seats in the 2nd row, and a lot more features. Also, the pricing is amazing for the car, Rs. 13.66 – 24.92 Lakh. Though this is an introductory price for the first 40,000 customer deliveries. The base model is also quite equipped. XUV 700 was really a good vehicle overall, to drive, and the interior’s practicality. This facelift has taken the value proposition to a new level, which makes XUV 7XO more appealing.
