The AX7T sits in between, with ADAS and ventilated front seats.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3 class=\"\">Q. What is the difference between AX5 and AX7?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">The AX7 adds surround-view cameras, blind-view monitoring, TPMS, dual-zone climate control, a powered driver seat with memory and 18-inch alloys. Neither has ADAS or ventilated seats.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3 class=\"\">Q. Which variant of XUV 7XO has ventilated seats?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">The AX7T has ventilated front seats. The AX7L has ventilated front and second-row seats.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3 class=\"\">Q. Which variant of the XUV 7XO has a sunroof?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Among all the variants of the Mahindra XUV 7XO, the panoramic sunroof comes on the AX5, AX7, AX7T and AX7L.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3 class=\"\">Q. Is the XUV700 discontinued?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Yes. Mahindra replaced it with the XUV 7XO in January 2026. The XUV700 is now available only as a used car.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3 class=\"\">Q. What is the XUV 7XO price?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">\u20b913.99 lakh to \u20b925.94 lakh, ex-showroom (October 2026).

The lower variants get six airbags, ESC and, from AX7, surround-view cameras, but no ADAS.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3 class=\"\">Q. Is a used XUV700 worth buying?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Yes, if it has a clean service history. It has the same engines as the 7XO and earned 5 stars for adults from Global NCAP, and a used one costs much less than a new 7XO. Check for highway or city use, tyre wear and any software updates.
