This premium SUV Mahindra offers has redefined luxury and set a new benchmark in the premium SUV segment. Let us look at the facts that make the Mahindra XUV700 redefine luxury for Indian car buyers.

Appealing On-Road Presence

One of the first things that will grab your attention about the XUV700 is its visually appealing profile. The bold chrome grille in the front gives it an imposing look, and LED headlamps add to its premium aesthetics.

Moreover, the carefully sculpted bumpers and hood add to its sporty and muscular stance. Styling highlights like the sloping roofline, shark-fin-shaped antenna, dual-tone machined alloy wheels, and side steps enhance its on-road presence.

Luxury Interiors

The XUV700’s cabin features a dual-tone black-and-beige interior with soft-touch materials. Interestingly, the seats in this SUV offer ventilation and massage functions that would help you take comfort to the next level. The ambient lighting and electric sunroof would help you set the mood for relaxed drives.

The digital touchscreen infotainment system of this SUV offers brilliant visuals and graphics. This system’s seamless smartphone connectivity with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay enhances the overall experience. Other notable luxury features include:

• A premium Sony sound system.
• 3-zone climate control.
• Electric seat adjustment for the driver seat.
• Wireless phone charging.

Advanced Technology Features

Mahindra has equipped the XUV700 with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) typically found only in the premium SUVs. These intelligent safety features add to its technical prowess.

The autonomous emergency braking system can help you detect obstacles ahead and brake automatically to avoid collisions. The adaptive cruise control function can help you maintain a set speed while keeping a safe distance from the vehicles ahead.

Other key ADAS features include lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, driver drowsiness detection, and intelligent pilot assist. The Surround Sense system offers 360-degree cameras for more accessible parking and manoeuvring in tight spots. Together, these features can help you make every drive safer and less stressful.

Power Packed Performance

A choice of turbo-petrol and diesel engine options can help you power your Mahindra XUV700. The 2.0L mStallion petrol engine produces 197bhp and 380Nm torque, while the 2.2L mHawk diesel produces 182bhp and 420Nm torque. Higher variants of the XUV 700 also get an optional 200bhp diesel engine that promises thrilling performance.

Both engines are mated to a smooth-shifting 6-speed automatic gearbox. This SUV is easy to drive, thanks to the light clutch and steering. You can alter steering, engine, and transmission responses by selecting different drive modes like zip, zap, and zoom. Whether cruising calmly on highways or undertaking quick city commutes, the XUV700 delivers power-packed performance.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Mahindra has equipped the Mahindra XUV700 with multiple active and passive safety features. Dual airbags, ABS with EBD, and electronic stability control are standard across the range. You can get up to 7 airbags and all-disc brakes in the higher variants. 

The Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) features of the Mahindra XUV 700 include autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beam assist, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and blind spot monitoring. These features can bolster your driving confidence and reduce fatigue and stress over long journeys.

Value for Money

Value for money is one area where the Mahindra XUV700 hits it out of the park. With prices starting at ₹13.99 lakhs, the base variants offer an exciting value-for-money proposition against rival models like Tata Safari, MG Hector Plus and Jeep Compass.

Mid to higher variants can cost you between ₹16 lakh and ₹26 lakhs, placing them against premium SUVs like the Toyota Fortuner. Yet, the XUV700 undercuts most rival models by lakhs of rupees, even while offering more features.

Value-for-money models like the Maruti Suzuki Swift and Baleno are offered in the hatchback segment, while the Mahindra XUV 700 offers the same in the premium SUV segment. 

Final Glimpse 

The Mahindra XUV700 offers a mix of contemporary styling, luxury features, strong performance, and the latest technology at an attractive price point. Compared to relatively more expensive SUVs, the XUV700 offers almost the same levels of styling, comfort, driving pleasure, and safety. This is a knockout proposition for buyers seeking luxury and value.
