Planning to book the XUV700 MX petrol base variant. That’s all my budget allows right now and family also liked the new suspension system.

But with ethanol blending moving from E20 toward E85/E100 in coming years, I’m worried:

1. Is the current 2.0L mStallion petrol E20 compliant? What about future E85/E100?
2. Will I face engine issues or expensive retrofits down the line if norms change?
3. Resale hit after 7-8 years if it’s not future-ready?

I can’t stretch budget for higher variants or wait 2+ years. Daily running is low, mostly city + occasional highway. Plan to keep it long term.

Owners/industry folks - should I go ahead with MX petrol now or go with diesel, or is waiting smarter? Anyone checked with Mahindra on future fuel roadmap?
