Mahindra isnโt slowing down anytime soon. After throwing punches left and right in 2025 with the BE 6, XEV 9e, new Bolero lineup, the beastly new Thar, and the massive XEV 9S, the company is coming back hard in 2026 with three big SUV launches that will keep the petrol and diesel fans happy while also stepping into the EV ring.
1. Mahindra XUV 7XO (XUV700 Facelift) โ Coming January 2026
The XUV700 is about to get a proper mid-life glow-up and might actually be renamed the XUV 7XO (yeah, they filed the trademark).
Outside, expect sharper, more aggressive headlights, a classier grille that screams premium, fresh 17- or 18-inch alloys, and redesigned connected LED tail lights that look mean at night.
Inside is where it gets crazy โ Mahindra is reportedly putting THREE screens across the dash: one for the driver, a huge infotainment in the middle, and a dedicated touchscreen just for the front passenger so they can watch Netflix, play games, or video-call their mom while you drive. Straight-up aircraft cockpit vibes.
Engine and gearbox? Same proven 2.0 turbo petrol and 2.2 diesel with manual or automatic โ no changes there. This one is purely about looking cooler and feeling more high-tech.
2. Mahindra XUV 3XO EV โ The Budget Electric Punch (Early 2026)
Right after the 7XO drops, Mahindra is bringing the fully electric version of the popular XUV 3XO to fight head-on with the Tata Nexon.ev.
Itโll be smaller and cheaper than the current XUV400 EV, perfect for city guys who want an electric SUV without selling a kidney.
Word on the street is itโll pack a 35 kWh battery. Exact range and power figures are still under wraps, but expect something realistic for daily commutes and weekend getaways โ probably around 300โ350 km on a full charge.
This is Mahindra saying: โTata, your Nexon.ev dominance ends now.โ
3. 2026 Mahindra Scorpio-N Facelift โ Second Half of 2026
The Scorpio-N that destroyed the competition in 2022 is getting refreshed in the second half of 2026. Test mules are already running around with camouflage, and the changes look subtle but smart.
New bumpers front and rear, slightly tweaked LED headlights and tail lights, new alloy wheel designs (17- or 18-inch), and a couple of fresh body colours to keep it looking new.
Inside, Mahindra is finally expected to ditch the old-school dials for a full digital driver display, upgrade the touchscreen (faster, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay without bugs), add a massive panoramic sunroof on higher trims, and throw in Level-2 ADAS (adaptive cruise, lane keep, auto emergency braking โ the works).
Under the hood? Zero changes โ same monster 2.2 diesel and 2.0 turbo petrol with rear-wheel or 4×4 options. Itโll still climb mountains and roast Fortuners for breakfast.
