The Mahindra XUV700 has been one of the most affordable seven-seater SUVs in Australia for some time, and it’s become even cheaper. The XUV700 AX7L (top trim) is now offered at $38,990 drive-away thanks to a limited-time offer that knocks off up to $4000 off the regular prices.
Also, the Mahindra Scorpio is getting a $3000 discount for a drive-away price of just $43,990. This places the rugged, body-on-frame Scorpio far below the GWM Tank 300 and in a different galaxy to the Ford Everest.

Powertrain details of the Mahindra XUV700 and Scorpio
| Specification | Mahindra XUV700 | Mahindra Scorpio |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 2.0L turbo-petrol 4-cylinder | 2.2L turbo-diesel 4-cylinder |
| Power output | 149kW | 129kw |
| Torque output | 380Nm | 400Nm |
| Drivetrain | FWD | 4WD |
| Transmission | 6-speed automatic | 6-speed automatic |
| Fuel consumption | 8.3L/100km | 7.2L/100km |
| Braked towing capacity | 1500 kg | 2500 kg |
Scorpio variants have a part-time 4WD with a low-range gearbox and off-road modes. The diesel torque and proper 4×4 system are built for towing, climbing, and traversing rough tracks.
Mahindra’s significant upfront savings and a long warranty are a direct challenge to the established brands of Toyota, Hyundai, and Kia. The XUV700 is the value king of the large family SUV segment. Scorpio is a rugged 4WD but lacks advanced safety tech like its rivals.
