Mahindra has managed to create tremendous hype for its new arrival XUV700 in recent times, leading to a record-breaking 25,000 reservations in just 57 minutes of its booking commencement. The aggressive pricing strategy of the features-packed XUV700 may be a core reason for such a massive response.
The automaker will reopen the booking window on 8th October, i.e., tomorrow at 10 AM. However, it is worth noting that the recently announced prices of the XUV700 were only applicable to the first 25,000 bookings. And so, the brand will soon announce new prices for the next lot of the SUV.
