Mahindra to Launch Two More SUV Refreshes in 2026, Says Jejurikar

Mahindra & Mahindra has outlined its internal combustion engine (ICE) product plan for the current calendar year (CY). Speaking during the company’s Q3 FY26 earnings call, Rajesh Jejurikar, Executive Director and CEO - Auto and Farm Sector, clarified the structure of the previously announced launch pipeline. He said the company had committed to introducing three new ICE SUVs during the year. Of these, the 7XO is the only new nameplate.

“We had said three new ICE, three ICE SUVs in this year. The new nameplate out of that was 7XO. Two more refreshes will come over and above the Bolero and Bolero Neo. When we had said three, we had not counted Bolero and Bolero Neo in the three. So we've done 7XO now, Bolero, Bolero Neo and there'll be two more refreshes in this calendar year,” Jejurikar said.

Jejurikar explained that the previously mentioned count of three ICE SUVs did not include updates to the Bolero and Bolero Neo. Both these models have already been addressed separately in the company’s product actions.

With the launch of the 7XO completed, the remaining two products in the ICE SUV plan for the year will be refreshes of existing models. These will be introduced in addition to the updates already carried out on the Bolero and Bolero Neo.

The company also confirmed that there are no further electric vehicle launches planned for the remainder of the calendar year. The EV products that were part of the earlier plan have already been introduced.

In the light commercial vehicle (LCV) segment, Mahindra had earlier stated that two launches were planned. The company has already introduced updates to the Bolero Camper and Bolero Pik-Up, with two more LCV actions scheduled within the calendar year.
