Mahindra & Mahindra has expanded the Mahindra XUV700 lineup with the introduction of the new AX5 Select variant (AX5 S). This new mid-level trim bridges the gap between the AX3 and AX5, offering desirable features at a competitive price point.
Starting at Rs 16.89 lakh (ex-showroom) for the petrol manual transmission (MT) variant, the AX5 Select makes features like a panoramic sunroof, dual HD screens, and push-button start/stop more accessible to a wider audience. The diesel MT variant comes in slightly higher at Rs 17.49 lakh (ex-showroom).
Packed with Premium Features:
The XUV700 AX5 Select boasts a compelling list of features, previously reserved for higher-end models. This includes a luxurious panoramic sunroof, a dual-screen infotainment system with two 26.03 cm (10.25-inch) HD displays, and convenient push-button start/stop functionality. Additionally, the AX5 Select retains the XUV700’s spacious and practical 7-seater configuration, making it an ideal choice for families.
Strategic Additions to the XUV700 Lineup:
This launch is part of Mahindra’s commitment to cater to diverse customer preferences. The recent introduction of the 7-seater option in the MX variant and the limited-edition Blaze trim on the AX7L further exemplifies this strategy. Mahindra has also actively ramped up production to address waiting periods, aiming to deliver vehicles within four to eight weeks, depending on the variant chosen.
