Mahindra has introduced the XUV700 Ebony Edition in India, with prices starting at ₹19.64 lakh and reaching up to ₹24.14 lakh (ex-showroom). Contrary to the typical all-black theme, Mahindra has deliberately incorporated contrasting elements, making it a distinct take on a blacked-out SUV. The design and features of this special edition have been crafted based on consumer feedback.
Price and Variants
The XUV700 Ebony Edition is exclusively available in the AX7 and AX7 L variants, priced ₹15,000 higher than their standard counterparts. The SUV retains the same 200hp, 2.0L turbo-petrol and 185hp, 2.2L diesel engine options, paired with either a 6-speed manual or automatic gearbox. However, this edition is available only in a front-wheel-drive (FWD) configuration and features a 7-seat layout.

To break the monotony of black, Mahindra has incorporated silver scuff plates on the front and rear bumpers. With this launch, the XUV700 is now available in eight monotone and five dual-tone color options.

Conclusion
The Mahindra XUV700 Ebony Edition brings a fresh twist to the blacked-out SUV theme by blending Stealth Black with contrasting silver elements, enhancing both style and presence. Priced at a ₹15,000 premium over the standard AX7 and AX7 L variants, it retains the same powerful petrol and diesel engine options but is limited to front-wheel drive and a 7-seat layout. Inside, the mix of black leatherette upholstery, silver trims, and a light grey roof liner ensures a refined yet distinctive cabin. With no mechanical changes and an unchanged feature list, the Ebony Edition caters to enthusiasts looking for an exclusive design update. As Mahindra’s final update to the XUV700 lineup, this edition solidifies the SUV’s position as a stylish, tech-loaded, and performance-driven offering in its segment.
