Famed for its adventurous design and next-gen technology, the XUV 700 epitomizes the continuum of luxury, performance and value.
Bold Design and Dimensions
Design The Mahindra XUV 700 is visually assertive and muscular, and it looks bold on the roads. Its aggressive outlook is courtesy of its C-shaped LED Daytime Running Lights, smart front grille, and bold body lines. The SUV is offered with 18-inch alloy wheels that have been given a sleek design, flush-fitting door handles, and a panoramic sunroof on higher trims.
Measuring 4,695mm in length and 1,890mm in width, it dwarfs some big-time competitors on the inside with a cabin as spacious as can be thanks to the 2,750mm wheelbase. Even in 2025, the road holding of the XUV 700 is substantial, as is the styling.
Power and Performance
The XUV 700 is available with petrol and diesel engines from Mahindra:
- 2.0L Turbo Petrol: Generating 200 PS and 380 Nm torque
- 2.2L Diesel mHawk: Offered tuned in two states of tune (155 PS and 185 PS) and 450 Nm of torque
They are mated with a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic. Certain diesel options also come with an optional All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system, which lets them drive on different terrains.
The ride sounds refined and steady — even at high speeds. The XUV 700 is easy to drive even though its bulk is hard to miss, as the steering is well tuned to match the pace. Mileage numbers stand at 13-17 kmpl, depending on variant and driving condition.
FEATURE-FILLED & ROOMY INSIDE
The cabin, on the inside, gets a twin 10.25-inch screen set-up for infotainment and instrumentation. The screen itself is clean, responsive and is Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatible. Key top models features are a 12-speaker 3D audio system, ventilated seats, dual-zone climate control, ambient lighting, and a panoramic sunroof.
The cabin design is premium in look and feel, with high-quality plastics and soft-touch materials in top trims. There’s ample seating, especially in the front and second rows. The third row of seats is a bit tight with little space for midgets, and luggage space is limited when all seven seats are being used.
Advanced Safety and ADAS
The XUV 700 is also one of the safest cars to drive, with 7 airbags, electronic stability control, ABS with EBD, anti-roll over protection, hill-hold/hill descent control and ISOFIX mounts for child seats. Its real value comes in the form of its Level 2 advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), which encompasses:
- Forward Collision Warning
- Lane Keep Assist
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- High Beam Assist
This would make the XUV 700 one of the safest SUVs in its class, particularly for highway driving.
Variants and Pricing
The XUV 700 variant offers divided into two denominations as:
- MX Series: Lower end models with good enough features for the price
- AdrenoX (AX3, AX5, AX7, AX7L): Tech, ADAS, add luxury Bugsy Malcolm ForbesKit for features.
The pricing for the localised models begins from approximately ₹13.99 lakh (ex-showroom) and could go all the way up to ₹25.89 lakh, suggesting that the Gloster rebadged will compete against Tata Safari, Hyundai Alcazar, and MG Hector Plus.
