Mahindra XUV700 7-seater SUV will be the next big launch from the home-grown carmaker in the country. If reports are to be believed, the model is likely to hit showrooms during 2021 festive season. While its official prices will be revealed in coming months, it’s estimated to cost between Rs 14 lakh – Rs 22 lakh (ex-showroom). At this price point, Mahindra’s new three-row SUV will take on the Tata Safari, MG Hector Plus and the upcoming Hyundai Alcazar.
While we have seen multiple spy pictures, videos and renderings of the upcoming XUV700, a latest digital rendering looks pretty accurate. The rendered model features a large signature grille with six vertical slats, LED headlamps with silver finish surround, C-shaped LED DRLs, bumper with a wide air dam and pronounced hood. The machine-cut alloy wheels with flared wheel arches, slightly sloping roofline, the conventional door handles, blacked-out B and C-pillars and ORVMs and black plastic cladding enhance its side profile.
The rear section has been adorned by wraparound LED taillamps, sporty bumper with chrome-tipped faux exhausts and a roof-mounted spoiler. The Mahindra XUV700 will sit on a new modular platform that also underpins the second-generation Thar. Compared to the XUV500, the new three-row SUV will have longer wheelbase along with the stretched length and width. Read – 5 Key Facts About Upcoming Mahindra XUV900 SUV Coupe
