Mahindra XUV700 : The Indian automotive market has witnessed a growing demand for feature-rich SUVs, and Mahindra has consistently delivered vehicles that cater to this trend. The XUV700 stands as the brand’s latest masterpiece, blending bold styling, cutting-edge technology, and powerful performance. More than just an SUV, it’s a versatile package designed for families, adventure seekers, and tech-savvy drivers alike.
Unmatched Performance for Every Terrain
The XUV700 offers two robust engine options to suit different driving preferences. The 2.0L mStallion turbo-petrol engine delivers an impressive 200 horsepower, while the 2.2L mHawk turbo-diesel variant produces up to 185 horsepower. Both engines ensure a smooth and responsive ride, whether you’re navigating city streets or cruising on highways.
For those who prefer more control, the SUV comes with both manual and automatic transmission options. The All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system in higher variants enhances its off-road capability, making it equally adept at handling rugged trails as it is on smooth highways.
A Cabin Designed for Comfort and Elegance
Get inside, and you’ll be greeted by a swanky, tech-forward interior. A pair of 10.25-inch screens in the dashboard control the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system, adding a premium, business-class feel.
The emphasis on seating for the pilots is carried forward to the passengers, along with a comfortable stoop in height to gain access to the airplane. The quality of the finest materials, the tactile satisfaction of the wrested places, and atmospheric lighting make the cabin a space you will never want to leave.
Concert-Quality Audio with Sony 3D Sound
Audiophiles will love the available 12-speaker Sony 3D surround sound system, a first for the segment. You’ll feel more if you see Amazon’s product Detail Our 5.1 speaker system delivers a room filling sound experience with the upgrade to theater quality, you will love how your favorite soundtracks or albums will envelop you.
Skyroof Bringing the Outdoors In
Adding to the feeling of spaciousness and premiumness is the panoramic Skyroof, amongst the largest in class. It spans the roof of the vehicle to flood the cabin with natural light, providing stunning views day and night – from starlit skies to passing scenic landscapes.
Next-Level Safety with ADAS
Safety is a top priority in the XUV700, which comes equipped with Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)—a rarity in its segment. Key features include:
- Adaptive Cruise Control – Maintains a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
- Lane Keep Assist – Prevents unintentional lane drifting.
- Emergency Braking – Automatically applies brakes in critical situations.
- Traffic Sign Recognition – Alerts drivers to speed limits and road signs.
Additional safety elements include six airbags (top trim), ABS with EBD, ISOFIX child seat anchors, and a rearview camera with dynamic guidelines. Its 5-star Global NCAP safety rating further cements its position as one of the safest SUVs in India.
Smart and Connected Driving Experience
The AdrenoX infotainment system, developed in collaboration with Bosch, keeps drivers connected and entertained. Key features include:
- Hands-free Alexa voice commands
- Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- Remote vehicle control via the Mahindra AdrenoX Connect app

Commanding Road Presence
Bold looks and design of XUV700 make it stand out on road. The signature details like the C-shaped LED DRLs, flared wheel arches, and the twin-peaks grille give it a muscular yet elegant design. They are also thoughtful touches too – from the alloy wheels and roof rails to flush door handles (on higher trims), making the car look a bit more premium.
