Mahindra launches new XUV700 AX5 Select variant at ₹16.9 lakh
Mahindra has expanded its XUV700 SUV lineup with the introduction of a new mid-level variant, the AX5 Select (AX5 S). Positioned between the existing AX3 and AX5 models, this new variant offers additional features over the former. Priced at ₹16.89 lakh, it carries a ₹50,000 premium over the AX3 variant and includes features such as a panoramic sunroof and push-button start/stop.
XUV700 AX5 Select offers seven-seat layout
The XUV700 AX5 Select stands out with its seven-seat layout, a feature not available in the lower AX3 variant which only offers a five-seat configuration. This new model also includes map lamps for the second row. Earlier this month, Mahindra introduced a seven-seat setup for the entry-level MX3 variant as well, making it more accessible to customers seeking a three-row version of the SUV.
Engine and gearbox options for XUV700 AX5 Select
The AX5 Select variant is available with both petrol and diesel engine options, offering a choice between manual and automatic gearboxes. The petrol MT version of the XUV700 AX5 Select is priced at ₹16.89 lakh, while the diesel counterpart costs ₹17.49 lakh. The automatic variants carry an additional cost of ₹1.6 lakh, making them ₹50,000 more expensive than the AX3 trim.
Detailed specifications of XUV700 AX5 Select's engine options
The XUV700 AX5 Select is equipped with either a 2.0-liter turbo-petrol engine producing 200hp and 380Nm of torque or a 2.2-liter turbo-diesel engine offered in two states of tune. The entry-level variants deliver 155hp and 360Nm, while the higher-spec variants offer an impressive output of 185hp and up to 450Nm with automatic transmission. Both engines are paired with a six-speed manual or a six-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, with an all-wheel drive option available for the diesel model.
