Design & Looks
The XUV700 keeps Mahindra’s bold design language. A large chrome grille, sharp LED headlamps and a sporty rear diffuser give it a commanding road presence. Inside, the cabin feels upscale thanks to a 10.25‑inch touchscreen, dual‑zone climate control and leather‑trimmed seats. Even the base variant gets a sleek dashboard layout, so you don’t feel cheap.
Performance & Mileage
Under the bonnet, buyers can choose between two engines:
- 2.0 L Turbo‑charged petrol – 202 hp, 380 Nm torque.
- 2.2 L Turbo‑diesel – 185 hp, 420 Nm torque.
Both are paired with a 6‑speed manual or a 6‑speed automatic. Real‑world mileage hovers around 14 km/l for the diesel and 12 km/l for the petrol, which is respectable for a vehicle of this size.
Price & Rivals
Mahindra’s strategy is clear: offer a feature‑rich SUV at a price that undercuts rivals like the Kia Seltos and Hyundai Creta. The XUV700’s entry‑level trim starts at roughly Rs 13 lakh, while the top‑end variants reach about Rs 16.5 lakh. Even the lower‑priced model includes safety gear such as dual airbags, ABS, and electronic stability control.
