Mahindra delivers 14,000 units of XUV700 in India since October
Mahindra had commenced the bookings for its new XUV700 in India last October and had promised to deliver 14,000 units by January this year. The auto giant has kept its word and completed its target despite production issues due to the ongoing semiconductor crisis. At present, the waiting period of the XUV700 goes up to 86-88 weeks, depending on the trim.
We said it. We did it.
