Like most mass market brands, Mahindra is aggressively pushing for new SUV sales festive season with attractive discounts and benefits across most of its petrol, diesel and EV line-up, further sweetening the appeal after the recent GST 2.0–driven price cuts.
With the exception of the rugged Thar (update coming soon) and Thar Roxx SUVs, and its upcoming born-electric SUVs (BE.06 and XEV 9e), nearly every other Mahindra model on sale gets some form of festive season deal. The highlight is undoubtedly the brand’s entry-level EV, the XUV400 which get benefits running into lakhs.
The XUV400 electric SUV continues to start at Rs 17.89 lakh (ex-showroom), unchanged even after GST 2.0 revisions, but Mahindra is now offering up to Rs 2.5 lakh off in cash benefits. This aggressive pricing move could give the compact electric SUV a much-needed boost in a space dominated by the Tata Nexon EV and newer models like the MG Windsor among others. The XUV400 comes with a 39.5kWh battery pack, offering a claimed range of up to 456km (tested under the older MIDC cycle).
The Bolero Neo, essentially a heavily reworked TUV300 is due for an update soon. The SUV is being pushed hard this season in order to clear existing stocks. Its base N4 variant (priced at Rs 8.92 lakh) gets Rs 40,000 off, while the mid-spec N8 gets Rs 65,000 off. Both the higher-spec N10 and N10 (O) trims get the maximum discount of Rs 95,000. The Bolero Neo is powered by a 100hp, 1.5-litre diesel engine, giving it a clear edge over the 76hp classic Bolero.
The long-running Bolero, still a workhorse in rural and semi-urban markets, now starts at Rs 8.79 lakh. The Bolero’s B4 and B6 trims get Rs 35,000 off, while the B6 (O) tops the chart with Rs 90,000 in festive benefits. The base B2 variant, however, gets no discounts. There are talks on the Bolero getting a cosmetic update soon.
The larger, three-row Bolero Neo Plus is the rarest Bolero variant. (starting at Rs 10.77 lakh). It gets modest discounts of Rs 25,000 on its N4 and N10 variants. Interestingly, the Bolero Neo Plus N4 ambulance gets Rs 80,000 off, making it the most attractive deal in this line-up. The SUV runs a 120hp, 2.2-litre diesel engine mated to a manual gearbox.
Mahindra’s flagship, the XUV700 now starts at Rs 13.19 lakh and is being offered with up to Rs 50,000 in total benefits. This includes Rs 30,000 in straight discounts across variants, plus an additional Rs 20,000 festive bonus on accessories — the only model in this list to get extra freebies. The SUV is powered by a 197hp 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and a 182hp 2.2-litre diesel engine. Mahindra XUV700 facelift will go on sale sometime next year.
The rugged Scorpio Classic, priced from Rs 12.38 lakh, sees the base S variant receive a Rs 50,000 discount, while the top-end S11 trim gets Rs 30,000 off. It continues with its 132hp, 2.2-litre diesel engine and ladder-frame setup. It does not get 4WD or automatic gearbox.
The newer Scorpio N, positioned above the Classic, now starts at Rs 13.20 lakh. Festive offers vary by trim: Z4 petrol and diesel get Rs 25,000 off, Z6 trims go up to Rs 40,000, and certain Z8 diesel and petrol versions also receive up to Rs 40,000 in benefits. Engine options include a 175hp 2.2-litre diesel and a 203hp 2.0-litre turbo-petrol, with 4WD and automatic available on select trims.
The compact XUV3XO, which benefitted the most from GST 2.0–related ex-showroom price cuts, now starts at Rs 7.28 lakh. Discounts begin at Rs 20,000 for lower trims (MX2, MX2 Pro, MX3 diesel, MX3 Pro diesel), while the AX5 and AX5L mid-range trims also get Rs 20,000 off. Top-end variants see benefits of up to Rs 45,000. The SUV is available with three engine options: a 111hp 1.2 turbo-petrol, a 131hp direct-injection turbo-petrol, and a 117hp 1.5 diesel.
The biggest festive deal is on Mahindra’s now discontinued, Marazzo MPV. While most stocks are exhausted, some dealers still have unsold units. All three variants of the seven-seater, which starts at Rs 14.06 lakh, are being offered with a massive Rs 3 lakh discount.
