The Mahindra XUV700 is arguably one of the most ‘in demand’ cars right now in the Indian market. With 70,000 bookings in a matter of a few days, the Mahindra XUV700 has been a huge success in the Indian market. The huge demand coupled with the ongoing semiconductor shortage has led to long waiting periods for the SUV. However, Mahindra did commit that it will be delivering 14000 units by January. Now, the brand has kept its promise and completed the billings for 14000 units now which could come as a relief to the current and potential customers.
