The Mahindra XUV 7XO is available in six different trim options: AX, AX3, AX5, AX7, AX7 T, and AX7 L. On the powertrain front, the Mahindra XUV 7XO is available in both petrol and diesel engine options. The petrol engine is a 2.0-litre mStallion turbocharged petrol engine available with transmission options of a six-speed manual gearbox and a six-speed automatic unit. The diesel variant gets a 2.2-litre mHawk power mill, which is also available with the same transmission options.

If you are planning to buy the base variant, which comes loaded with a wide range of features, and can be easily dubbed as a value for money variant, you can only have a petrol manual or diesel manual, with FWD drivetrain. The base AX trim doesn't get any automatic transmission. The top-spec variant is available with all the powertrain combinations, except the petrol manual. If you are planning to buy the AWD version of the SUV, the only options for you are the AX7 T and AX7 L.
