The newly-launched XUV700 premium 5/7-seater SUV is Mahindra’s answer to Hyundai Alcazar, MG Hector Plus and Tata Safari. The SUV has been priced quite aggressively at Rs 11.99 lakh for the entry-level MX petrol manual 5-seater variant. The model lineup includes three more variants – MX diesel MT 5-seater, Adreno AX3 petrol MT 5-seater and AdrenoX AX5 petrol MT 5-seater – cost Rs 12.49 lakh, Rs 13.99 lakh and Rs 14.99 lakh respectively. Prices of the 7-seater Mahindra XUV700 will be announced in October 2021.
Here’s a digital rendering shows how the Mahindra XUV700 will look like if the automaker would launch its Black Edition in the market. The rendered Mahindra XUV700 Black Edition looks sportier with all blacked-out front grille instead of the outwardly bent vertical chromed bars. Design elements such as new, sharply designed headlamps with large C-shaped DRLs and large angular taillamps have been retained. The black front bumper, all-black alloy wheels and black flush type door handles enhance its sporty appeal.
As of now, the carmaker has no intentions to bring in the Mahindra XUV700 Black Edition. Even if it arrives, the model will carry all design elements and features offered on the standard version. Its interior layout might also remain unchanged. Though, it could get sporty black treatment inside the cabin as well. Read – Mahindra XUV700 Vs Hyundai Creta
