Mahindra unveiled the all-new XUV700 in August this year while its official variant-wise prices were revealed in September 2021. The bookings for the Mahindra XUV700 began on 7th October and it received an overwhelming response from the buyers. More than 50,000 units of this SUV were booked in just 3 hours within the first two days and till date, over 70,000 XUV700s have been reserved already. But, with the current situation of acute global chip shortage and supply chain issues, the waiting period of the XUV700 has gone through the roof.Â
Here we have detailed the variant-wise waiting period of the new Mahindra XUV700:
| XUV700 Variant | Petrol (waiting period) | Diesel (waiting period) |
| MX | 25-27 weeks | 35-37 weeks |
| AX3 | 28-30 weeks | 50-52 weeks |
| AX5 | 51-53 weeks | 50-52 weeks |
| AX7 | 65-67 weeks | 65-67 weeks |
| AX7L | 72-75 weeks | 72-75 weeks |
The waiting period of the new Mahindra XUV700 has soared up to 75 weeks (close to 1.5 years) for its top-spec AX7L trim. Even the AX7 trim demands a waiting period of 65-67 weeks. Also, it is worth noting that in the case of lower trims like MX and AX3, the backoff time for the diesel variants is significantly higher than the petrol trims, while the mid-spec AX5 trim’s petrol variant demand a slightly higher waiting period.
