The sharp and premium-looking design of the car seems to boast a stunning front grille with chrome strips. The car offers advanced features like LED Daytime Running lights and Smart Door Handles that are flush-mounted. It is built on a new platform named W601 and offers its buyers strength, durability and class-leading stability. The Mahindra XUV700 design looks supreme with its sturdier and more streamlined looks that dominate every road.
The Mahindra XUV700 comes with two powerful engine options โ a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol (200 bhp, 380 Nm) and a 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine (up to 185 bhp, 450 Nm).
Both engines are paired with 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions, with the diesel also available in AWD (All-Wheel Drive).
The petrol unit offers quick acceleration, while the diesel variant delivers robust torque for highway cruising and off-road confidence.
With multiple drive modes (Zip, Zap, Zoom) and an electronic stability program, the XUV700 adapts effortlessly to different terrains.
