Best cheap 7 seater in Australia? Mahindra XUV700 2023 review

The 2023 Mahindra XUV700 - made in India - might be the seven-seater family SUV bargain of the decade.
This new model is a budget-focused family crossover, with a standard seven seater layout, a long warranty, a punchy turbo engine, and a heap of standard technology and equipment.
If you’re looking at a 7 seater at this price point you might also be considering a five-year-old Toyota Kluger / Highlander, or maybe a Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, Mazda CX-8 or CX-9, Nissan X-Trail or Mitsubishi Outlander, or the LDV D90.
There are so many alternatives at this price point that the Mahindra XUV7OO needs to be good, not only at being affordable, but at offering value for money and decent driving dynamics, too.
OK. Watch the video, then let me know if you'd roll the dice on this one!

It's not Chinese, and it's not a CVT. Two huge positives right there. It looks OK, the interior is very nice, the screens are Euro class crisp and clear, far better than Ford Ranger's kaliedescope blurry colours. It's quite heavy at over 1800kg, so the fuel use at 8.6 on test is quite acceptable for a punchy 2.0 turbo with 380nm - especially on crap 91 fuel. It would probably love some 98.

The diesel XUV700 with AWD will be a real cracker. 136kw and 450Nm, and a black interior option. My preference would be the 5 seat option and big boot. I'm thinking around $44k driveaway, due end of 2023.

Another good review Matt! Just the way you present the clips, keeps me coming back. Reminds me of another car guy (Paul M) from another well known car site .... Anyhoo, I like you're no nonsense approach, a bit rough around the edges, but engaging, unbiased, informative, honest and genuine opinions! I feel like I can trust you and what you're saying, when giving your opinions. I'm not in the market for a 7 seat SUV, but for some reason, I'm attracted to the XUV700! Not sure if it's because I like an underdog, but there just seems to be a vibe about the XUV700 that you're getting a pretty good vehicle at a pretty good price and that it's not trying to be something else other than what you see. It ticks a lot of boxes and the only thing holding it back, unfortunately, will be the badge. It definitely deserves to sell well here. If I bought one, the third row would never be used, but it would make for a huge rear cargo area! I have heard there could also be a 5 seat FWD spec coming to Australia, which would make for a great buy again!

[@therightcar]

Thanks mate! Paul and I are good mates and we used to work closely together at CarAdvice. I’m really glad that you’re liking the vibe! It’s a really fun career move for me.

Spot on, Mahindra are really offering some decent cars into Oz at the moment; at excellent prices. Scorpio diesel 4x4, XUV700 petrol FWD SUV and I suspect within the next 12 months an XUV700 diesel AWD SUV. Hopefully they grow their dealer network quickly.

Glad the career move is working out for you! Nothing better than doing something you love! I am in the market for a new set of wheels, but in the current economic climate, I'm now holding off. If the RBA decides to raise interest rates a few more times and we slip into a recession, just as New Zealand has now done, it could be a buyers market again in the next 6-8 months, maybe sooner. I think that's when it'll be a good time to buy.

Hi John. Good one! I’d say the sales team is quite insistent on it because it’s a hugely profitable extra to add on. The car has clear coat applied, which is your inherent paint protection!

As an Indian, we absolutely do not like the word "cheap". I can tell you a story about this. In January 2008, a car named "Tata Nano" was launched in India for a price of 100,000 Indian rupees. At that time, the starting price of cars in India was 500,000 to 600,000 rupees. Tata Motors' main goal was to make a car that could be afforded even by the poor and middle class, and that's how the Nano came. Everything went perfectly from the engineering team, and the output was good. However, the sales department advertised it as the cheapest car ever made, which led to the failure of the car. Later on, we realized our mistake and started respecting the Tata Nano. So, obviously, we hate the word "cheap". A better term would be "affordable".

Love from Australia

[@user-mp1fk2cg8e]

Glad to see Aussies like the Mahindra 7OO! 🤪

[@therightcar]

It’s a good rig.

[@zulfiqarghaffari5326]

Nice SUV

[@therightcar]

Sure is!

[@shyamchabra5355]

Australian dealers are used to ripping people off for 3 times the price. They are not going to accept this product. Their business is geared to a higher profit margin! Mahindra is good but it won't go anywhere in Australia!

[@therightcar]

They've got some dealerships on board rolling out to major cities this year. Let's see what happens...

[@chrisbates8064]

Reasonable looking, appears decent quality, brand reputation in the country is good and seems to go and handle well. For those looking in the category this should be compelling instead of a 3 year old Rav4. Dare I say it, even a new one and bank $15-20k!! Great review.

[@RakeshPatel-ur5ek]

There is a big waiting list in India, how are they going to have them for Australia?

[@Fanta....]

Perhaps the Australian Market has a bigger profit margin? maybe

[@KumarKumar-fc2gc]

Bro govt forces companies to export a certain percentage of their production...a quota ...that's good to create an export market..

[@SUDHEERSERAN]

It's the best affordable rather than calling out cheap

[@therightcar]

It is cheap compared with all other 7 seaters.

[@AdityaPatelOnline]

Make a review video on THAR

[@AtifKhan-fw5jd]

Best Blue car

[@balisingh143]

Great review. Just not sure abt petrol, would prefer diesel.

[@therightcar]

A diesel AWD could come here.

[@Fanta....]

Id definintely give an electric Mahindra a shot.

[@Subh8081]

My wife's getting one. What's the waiting period?

[@therightcar]

There shouldn’t be a wait period - they have stock in showrooms now.

[@Rajesh2000ad]

Check suspension before you buy . There are lots of complains about suspension in India. And electronic hand handles . Just search Indian owner reviews on KZbin. I liked this car unfortunately I found lots issues . Good luck and congratulations

What’s the dealer network like? I can see one dealer in Sydney, not good for a city of 5 million. And how long will mahindra stick around this time? They are the ssannyong of India.

[@Coastmac2001]

They are gradually expanding both metro & regional dealer networks

[@therightcar]

They are here for the long haul, and have been here for 20 years already. They’ve just been focused more on ag products (tractors - it is the world’s biggest tractor brand!) and the dealer network is moving into city areas across Australia this year, including Sydney, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra.

[@jigarbhise7780]

Mahindra is very big name search once from 2 wheeler to giant trunks and topping tractors sell list

[@funnyluci8686]

For some years Mahindra even owned ssanyong 😂

[@akhiljayachandran3679]

Mahindra owns pininfarina. The brand which designs lambos and ferraris
