Mahindra has announced a significant reduction in prices for the XUV700, passing on the benefits of the revised GST slab to customers ahead of its implementation on September 22. With the tax rate on large SUVs dropping from 48% to 40%, buyers can now save between Rs 88,900 and Rs 1.43 lakh depending on the variant.The XUV700 falls under the SUV category that attracts GST based on two key parameters — length of over 4 metres and engine capacity above 1,500 cc.Until now, such vehicles were taxed at 28% GST plus 20% cess, taking the effective rate to 48%. With the revised structure, the new tax slab has been rationalised to a flat 40%.Live EventsTrim-wise price benefits on XUV700VariantEarlier GST + CessNew GST RateCustomer BenefitMX48%40%₹88,900AX348%40%₹1,06,500AX5 S48%40%₹1,10,200AX548%40%₹1,18,300AX748%40%₹1,31,900AX7 L48%40%₹1,43,000 Wider impact on SUV pricing The change in GST rates impacts all large SUVs across the market.
