About Mahindra XUV700

Packing an unmissable presence, tough yet sophisticated experience, spirited performance, global safety standards and modern technology, the XUV700 is set to excite Australian Customers.

Unmissable presence

• The striking front grille with the new Twin Peaks logo takes pride of place.
• The authentic SUV stance and the wide track hint at performance ably supported by the overall vehicle dynamics.
• XUV700 has LED Clear-view Headlamps with Automatic Boosting and LED daytime running lights. At the rear, the arrow-tip taillights utilise LED technology, with an additional high-mount LED brake lamp.
• Conventional door handles giving 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

New from the ground up, the XUV700 underpins a completely new platform for the brand that has set the direction for the SUVs of tomorrow, with advanced engineering, the latest technology and impeccable craftsmanship. The body makes use of enhanced high-tensile and ultra-high tensile steels that increase the toughness and torsional rigidity while reducing the overall weight of the vehicle, contributing to reduced fuel consumption.

The all-independent suspension set up of the XUV700 was developed with varied road surfaces in mind.

• XUV700 offers class leading performance through multi-link suspension with stabiliser bar & FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) technology.
• While superior ride comfort is guaranteed, it also provides unparalleled dynamic capabilities in tune with the performance on offer.

Spirited Performance

At the heart of the XUV700, we have the 2.0 L mStallion turbo-petrol engine, delivering exhilarating performance, 149.2 kW at 5000 rpm and class-leading torque of 380 Nm available in full from 1750 rpm that brings a rush like never before. This engine provides refined motoring and linear power delivery.

All versions of XUV700 are fitted with Mahindra's smooth-shifting 6-speed automatic transmission. This transmission is mapped to perfectly match the power profile of the petrol engine at exhilarating cruising speeds.

Modern Technology

The XUV700, the first of a new generation of SUVs from Mahindra comes packed with a whole lot of features.

The new Mahindra Super screen – a combination of two high-definition 10.25" (26 cm) digital screens for the digital cluster and infotainment systems – takes pride of place in the Mahindra XUV700 cabin. The UI on these screens is highly customisable and allows for a detailed view of vehicle information.

Both the variants of the XUV700 in Australia are fitted with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which allows for a seamless connection with any smartphone. This also allows the driver to interact with their smart phone via the large infotainment screen and use voice commands through Android auto and Apple car play.

Another treat across the entire XUV700 range is Mahindra's SkyroofTM. This panoramic sunroof covers most of the passenger compartment and creates an airy and light ambience in the cabin.

Mahindra has partnered with SONY to customise the sound experience inside the XUV700. In the flagship AX7 L variant, the sound system is upgraded to a 12-speaker SONY system with full immersive 3D sound. The AX7 L also treats its owner with wireless charging and fully automatic electronic door handles.

On the AX7 L, Mahindra has added a Blind View Monitor system as standard. It has also included four digital cameras, mounted in the nose, tailgate and side mirrors, for a 360-degree bird's eye view of the vehicle when manoeuvring or parking. This system can be set to continuously record while driving, negating the need for a traditional dashcam through memory card installation.

Global Safety Standards

Safety is one of the core pillars of the XUV700 experience:

• The XUV700, with 7 airbags on the top variant; comprising of driver and passenger front airbags, curtain across all three rows, side airbags and a driver knee airbag.
