With logistical hurdles and more importantly, chip shortage issues and increase in raw material costs, we have seen substantial price hikes from car producers in recent times in India.

Despite a flurry of launches this calendar year, the waiting period for most of the popular offerings in the domestic market is high. Topping the list are the compact and midsize SUVs that have witnessed pending orders in aplenty. The Mahindra XUV700 has a long list of pending orders and resultantly the waiting period is well over one year for select variants.

The XUV700 is retailed in five- and seven-seater configurations and it appeals to a wide range of consumers in an attractive price range between Rs. 13.18 lakh and Rs. 24.58 lakh (ex-showroom). The Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara will be launched next month in India and its reservations have commenced across authorised dealerships present in the country and online.
