Mahindra is currently overbooked for the XUV700 as the demand for this SUV is too high and the waiting period soars 12 months for some of the variants. While it is one of the most desirable SUVs in the segment, here we have another SUV from the Mahindra clan that is a segment above. The 2022 Mahindra Alturas G4 is priced at Rs 21 lakh which makes it cheaper than the AX7 Diesel AT variant of the XUV700.
