The waiting period for the Mahindra XUV700 has seen a rising tide of up to one and a half years for the range-topping AX7 Luxury petrol and diesel variants. The XUV700 has been the most sought-after car for Mahindra, and it also attracted over 75,000 reservations.

The XUV700's waiting period stretches from six months to up to 20 months, depending on the variant. Interestingly, we have learned that the waiting period is not only for specific variants but is also applicable to different exterior colours. The Midnight Black, Electric Blue and Everest White are the most sought-after colours, followed by Red Rage and Dazzling Silver.

The entry-level MX trim has a waiting time between six and eight months for both petrol and diesel versions. For the AX3 petrol, the waiting period is between seven to 10 months for the AX3 diesel. Moreover, the mid-spec AX5 petrol has a waiting period of up to a year and stretches to almost 12 to 15 months for the AX7. Besides this, the AX7 Luxury is in enormous demand.

This waiting time has become a concern for customers who reserved their XUV700 at the commencement of the bookings. A few customers even received a delivery date of May 2023.

The AX7 Luxury comes with additional features like an all-wheel-drive system, a Sony surround sound system, a 360-camera setup, a driver-side knee airbag, blind-spot monitoring, wireless phone charging, electronic parking brake, passive keyless entry, powered flush door handles and continuous digital video recording. Mahindra offers it in petrol and diesel engine options with a seven-seat layout.
