Mahindra Motors has introduced the XUV 7XO in Manipal, setting an on‑road price of ₹18.09 lakh for the vehicle. The SUV, part of the company's macro‑segment lineup, will be available through official dealers from July 2026.
The XUV 7XO follows the company's strategy to expand its premium SUV range in Karnataka, building on the success of the XUV 700 and XUV 500 in the region. It features the newest generation of safety and connectivity tech, positioning it against rivals such as the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.
The launch is anticipated to attract middle‑class families seeking a blend of performance and affordability. Local buyers in Manipal and nearby Udupi may find the price point competitive, potentially reshaping the mid‑segment market. Source: Google News – Manipal.
