Updated 2026 Mahindra XUV700 will receive a host of enhancements inside and out but the familiar 2.0L petrol and 2.2L diesel engines will continue
Having been on sale for a fair stretch now, the Mahindra XUV700 appears to be gearing up for a major refresh to lure more customers in with plenty of updates. Spy shots of heavily camouflaged test prototypes suggest that the SUV is nearing the end of its development cycle with a market debut likely in the early part of 2026.
The update is expected to bring noticeable changes both inside the cabin and across the exterior design. With the updated three-door Thar went on sale recently and the facelifted Bolero Neo launching soon, we can expect the new XUV700 to help strengthen the brand’s SUV portfolio further. Mahindra also has a series of new EVs under in the works.
Even under heavy camouflage, changes to the front are evident as a reprofiled bumper and updated headlamp detailing can be seen in the spy pictures. Interestingly, Mahindra seems to be retaining the flush-fitting door handles that became one of the XUV700’s signature design cues. Apart from the reworked nose, the overall silhouette appears largely unchanged.

The side panels gave little away in terms of any major design alterations. Mahindra is expected to introduce a new set of alloy wheel designs with the facelift – giving the SUV a more expressive stance. The overall dimensions, mechanical bits and glasshouse layout are likely to stay identical to the current model but new paint schemes are expected to be available.
At the rear, Mahindra seems to have retained the familiar tail lamp silhouette though the internal lighting signature looks slightly reworked. The bumper design also appears to have been revised. Step inside, and the facelifted XUV700 is expected to feature an upgraded cabin taking inspiration from Mahindra’s XEV 9e and BE 6.

It has to be remembered that the XUV 700 based XEV 7e three-row electric SUV is also in the pipeline. Back to the ICE facelift, it will more likely pack an upmarket equipment roster than before. Among the key highlights could be a triple-screen setup, front ventilated seats, a more capable Level 2 ADAS suite, etc.
Customers will also get a 360-degree camera system, ambient lighting, and a full-LED lighting package. Convenience features such as automatic climate control, wireless charging, USB Type-C ports, and extensive connected-car functions will continue – complemented by multiple airbags and adjustable headrests.
