Packing an unmissable presence, world class safety and technology, the Mahindra XUV700 is set to redefine benchmarks for the brand in Australia.
Brisbane, September 1st, 2021: Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., took the wraps off the all-new XUV700 (pronounced as XUV, 7 double ‘Oh’), marking a brand-new era for the company.
Fittingly launched just hours ahead of the country’s 75th Independence Day, the XUV700 represents India’s rise as a confident, bold, global powerhouse that is set to take a leadership role on the world stage. The XUV700 comes with unmissable crafted looks, pleasing interiors, and exceptional ride comfort.
Here are some salient features available in select variants and some features will vary by variant.
Unmissable presence
The sensuous and sophisticated exterior of the Mahindra XUV700 presents an extremely aerodynamic design for an SUV.
- The authentic SUV stance and the wide track hints at performance ably supported by the overall vehicle dynamics.
- Similarly, the large grille is meant to send as much air to cool the engine while paying homage to classic XUV family cues.
- When you are in the business of cheating the airflow, conventional door handles had to give way to invisible ‘Smart door handles’, a first-in-segment by XUV700.
- Prominent wheel haunches above the arches, especially at the rear help achieve a sporty stance, making the XUV700 look fast even while standing still.
Tough yet Sophisticated
The all-independent suspension setup of the XUV700 was developed with varied road surfaces in mind.
- The front suspension is made up of McPherson strut with FSD(Frequency Selective Damping) technology and stabiliser bar
- The Rear suspension is a multi-link system with FSD and stabilizer-bar.
- While superior ride comfort is guaranteed, it also provides unparalleled dynamic capabilities in tune with the performance on offer.
The inside story
The Mahindra XUV700 interior is all about achieving harmony through contrast. So, it is not a surprise that you will find buffed chrome co-exist with polished black surfaces. Yet, you can’t miss the sophistication thanks to the seamless twin 10.25-inch floating displays screen that replaces the conventional Cluster with binnacles.
Light shades of upholstery and the Panoramic Skyroof make the interior feel spacious and calm. Seats are engineered to provide supreme comfort over short and long distances. Superior surfaces and textures lend the XUV700 an inimitably luxurious ambiance. State of art Smart Filter Technology (VR-LED) ensures clear and pure air for the occupant eliminating odour, dust, micro-allergens, and pathogens.
