The modifications in the pricing of Mahindra & Mahindra’s SUV lineup, including the Scorpio-N, Thar, and XUV700, are a direct response to the escalating production costs. Among these models, the XUV700 has witnessed the most substantial price surge, with specific variants registering increases of up to ₹57,000.
Mahindra & Mahindra, the well-established Indian automotive manufacturer, has recently enforced a price increase on its flagship SUVs – Scorpio-N, Thar, and XUV700. This decision stems from the growing production costs, and the adjustments have been promptly implemented on specific variants of these three popular SUV models.

Similarly, the diesel variant of the same model, available with both manual and automatic transmissions, has witnessed a price hike of up to ₹53,000.
Interestingly, the price adjustments have not followed a uniform pattern, as eight variants of the XUV700 have witnessed a reduction in prices. The four entry-level petrol variants, for instance, have seen cuts of up to ₹15,000. The AX5 diesel variant, equipped with an automatic gearbox and 5-seat options, has experienced the most substantial reduction of ₹21,000.
