The Mahindra XUV700, the spiritual successor to the XUV500, has been launched in India at Rs 11.99 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom). At present only the MX trims (with petrol and diesel) and select AX trims (petrol only) are available on sale as a 5-seater SUV. More variants with 7-seater options and all-wheel drive will be available in the future.
If you have been waiting to have a detailed look at the XUV700, you are in the right place as we explain about it below in ten detailed images:
Like the Thar, the XUV700 is offered in two broad trims: MX and AX (AdrenoX). The former is essentially the lower-spec trim while the latter, available in three variants (AX3, AX5, and AX7), is the posher trim with all the niceties including driver assistance technology. This makes the XUV700 the most affordable SUV in India to feature this tech.
Now to the exterior design. At the front, the main thing that catches your eye is Mahindra’s new ‘Twin Peaks’ logo that debuts in the XUV700. The slatted grille is now angular and sleeker, flanked by LED headlamps with funky C-shaped DRLs featuring sequential turn indicators. Then there’s the simplistic bumper that houses the LED fog lamps.

A hint of Tesla can be seen in the flush-fitting door handles. You will also notice the typical kink (similar to the XUV500) above the rear wheel arches. Design highlights like the five dual-spoke alloy wheels, the subtle body cladding and roof rails accentuate the SUV look.
The XUV700’s rear-end is more angular in contrast to the XUV500. Design highlights include arrow-styled split-LED tail lamps and a minimalistic bumper with silver cladding. Clearly, Mahindra has taken a simpler approach to its design in comparison to the “cheetah-inspired” styling of the XUV500.
Inside, the Mercedes-Benz-like dual 10.25-inch screens comprising the digital driver’s display and infotainment system lend a premium feel to the cabin. It runs on Mahindra’s new AdrenoX UI and gets a host of premium features. The SUV can be had either as a 5-seater or a 7-seater with bench seats for middle row occupants.
Some noteworthy premium features onboard include Alexa AI connected car technology (first made-in-India vehicle to feature it), high beam assist, personalised voice safety alerts, a 12-speaker 445W Sony 3D sound system with subwoofer and amplifier, and a driver fatigue monitor. It also comes with driver assistance features like auto emergency braking and lane keeping assist.
Other creature comforts onboard include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, adaptive cruise control, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control with air filter, powered driver’s seat with memory, and keyless entry with push button start. Passenger safety is taken care of by seven airbags, ABS with EBD, a 360-degree camera, electronic stability control,front and rear parking sensors and a tyre pressure monitoring system.
Under the hood, the XUV700 can be had with both 2-litre turbo-petrol and 2.2-litre diesel engines. Power outputs of the latter differ depending on the trim and gearbox you pick. Take a look at the detailed specifications:
