Lower variants have less demand and shorter waiting periods.
The XUV700 has been a popular model in Mahindra’s India line-up. The versatile SUV is available with a choice of diesel and petrol powertrains, and 5-, 6- or 7-seater configurations.

Our dealer sources have now revealed that the waiting period is down to a month for certain variants. Read on for the complete variant-wise waiting period break up.
