Mahindra & Mahindra is ready to launch a new three-row SUV during 2021 festive season. Called the Mahindra XUV700, the model will be positioned against the Tata Safari, MG Hector Plus and the upcoming Hyundai Alcazar. Here’s a brief engine specification based comparison between the upcoming Mahindra XUV700 and Hyundai Alcazar.

Though, the motor will be tuned for producing a maximum power of 159bhp and 192Nm of torque. That means, the new Hyundai three-row SUV will be 7bhp more powerful than the Tucson.
– Powering the Alcazar diesel will be a 1.5L, 4-cylinder turbo unit pushing out a peak power of 115bhp and 250Nm of torque. The same oil burner does duty in the Hyundai Creta 5-seater.
– Official engine details of Mahindra’s new SUV are yet to be revealed. Reports suggest that the model is likely to come with the new and powerful engine setup. While the petrol version will be packed with the 190bhp, 2.0L, 4-cylinder turbo motor, the diesel model will use a 185bhp, 2.2L mHawk turbocharged unit.
– Compared to the Alcazar, the Mahindra XUV700 (both petrol and diesel) will be more powerful. In fact, the XUV700 will be the most powerful vehicle in its segment. Read – Mahindra XUV700 Vs Tata Safari Engine Specs
