Mahindra XUV700: The Most Feature-Laden SUV Redefining Prevailing Norms The Mahindra XUV700 is a game changer in the Indian SUV space, promising to shake things up with its new-age design and segment-best features while making a strong case with the powertrain options, all in a value conscious avatar.

Positioned as the spiritual successor to the XUV500, the XUV700 is superior than the latter in every sense and can give mainstream and luxury brands’ SUVs a run for their money.

It arrives with top of the line safety features, connectivity and infotainment, coupled with a highly fuel-efficient and powerful engine under its hood – remaining well true to Mahindra’s genes, stand tall and tough.

Dynamic and Aggressive Design

The Mahindra XUV700 gets a muscular and modern design language which is hard to go unnoticed.

At the front, the DRLs in signature C-shape along with the wide chrome-finished grille, bold headlamps add to the aggressive character.

The body shape reflects the strength of an SUV, but also the sleek character of a more athletic vehicle, the sharp shoulder lines and cool alloy wheels enhancing the looks.

Flush-fitting smart-inspired door handles — a segment-first — also helps establish its futuristic theme.

The sculpted boot lid is also part of the overall design, matching the lines of the LED tail lamps at the back.

The XUV700 has an aggressive but also a premium stance It has stubby dimensions and has proportions that balance bulk and elegance.

Roomy Interior and Luxurious Amenities

In the cabin, the XUV700 does boast a dual 10.25 inch screen set-up for infotainment and the digital cluster.

The cabin is intended to have an airy and contemporary feel and oozes with soft-touch materials,

whilst also employing an expanse of a panoramic sunroof and generous amounts of piano black and chrome.

First- and second-row comfort is great, and the third row (in 7-seater models) accommodates children or junior-sized adults best.

The ergonomics are sound, and there’s decent boot space with the third row folded. Key among these is the AdrenoX connected car platform,

which brings together AI-driven voice commands, remote vehicle management, and vehicle status.
