We all know that Mahindra has struggled to meet demand in recent years due to back-to-back launches, causing immense waiting times, especially on Thar and XUV700. Both had an on-an-average waiting time of around 1 year (depending on the variant). Even the XUV700 peaked at 24 months for the range-topping trims. However, the SUVmaker has now managed to cut down the waiting period to a maximum of 16 months in key metropolitan cities.
Going by the reports, the average waiting period on Mahindra XUV700 is between 3 to 4 months in most urban areas like Delhi, Lucknow, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Surat, Patna, Ghaziabad, Chandigarh, Coimbatore, etc. In contrast, the waiting period in Noida and Gurugram is approximately six months. Cities like Jaipur, Pune, and Thane are still drawing an average waiting course of a year for the XUV700.

Taking variants into account, customers can get delivery of their XUV700 in around 3 to 4 months if they have booked the petrol-powered MX, AX3, or AX5 variants of the SUV. The waiting period on their diesel counterparts and all other variants of Mahindra XUV700 still varies in the range of 6 to 16 months, with AX7 and AX7 L registering the most waiting time.
Speaking of the Mahindra Thar, the waiting period on the lifestyle off-roader ranging between 3 to 8 months, depending on the variant and location. Mahindra is soon expected to launch its 5-door version in the Indian market, which will go up against the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Jimny and 5-door Force Gurkha.
