→ Оригинал (без защиты от корпорастов)
Mahindra XUV700 and Tata Safari are two hottest mid-size 7-seater SUVs available in the Indian car market. Both are prime rivals of each other, followed by the MG Hector Plus. Tata Safari is offered as 6-and 7-seater whereas the XUV700 is available as 5-seater, 6-seater and 7-seater versions. That said, the base MX variant of the XUV700 was available only in 5-seater versions. Now, the brand has made a bold move by introducing 7-seater configuration in the lower variant! Currently, the 7-seater option was available on the Mahindra XUV700 from the AX 5 variant which is priced at Rs 22.34 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). While its rival, the 7-seater variant of the Tata Safari is priced from Rs 19.58 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). So in order to undercut the pricing of Tata Safari, Mahindra has launched the MX 7-seater variant of the XUV700.

As mentioned earlier, the new variant has been launched with a diesel powertrain option. It gets the 2.2-litre diesel engine which produces 153bhp and 360Nm of peak torque. For the MX variant, this engine comes mated only with a 6-speed manual transmission. Also Read: India's Cheapest Fully Automatic SUV Is Here!
