The Mahindra XUV700 is a compact crossover SUV produced by the Indian automobile manufacturer Mahindra & Mahindra. Introduced in August 2021, the vehicle is positioned to replace the XUV500.[2]

Overview

[edit]

The vehicle was introduced in India on 14 August 2021.[3] The XUV700 was originally designed as the second-generation XUV500, however Mahindra decided to reposition the model nomenclature due to its plan of expanding its SUV portfolio. It is their first model to use the new Mahindra logo, which is reserved for their SUV products.[2]

In India, the XUV700 is available in two series, which are MX and AdrenoX (AX). The MX series has a single MX trim, while the AdrenoX series consists of four trim levels, which are AX3, AX5, AX7 and AX7L. The AdrenoX series is equipped with the eponymous AdrenoX, an Amazon Alexa-based voice command. Both 5-seater and 7-seater configurations are available.[4] The top-end variant is also equipped with advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) technology tuned for Indian road conditions, making it the first Mahindra product to receive Level 1 autonomous tech.[5] Variants include MX, AX3, AX5, AX7, and AX7L, which is the top model.

The XUV700 went on sale in Australia in June 2023 with two variants available, the AX7 and AX7L, powered by the turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine.[6]

The XUV700 is offered with one petrol engine and one diesel engine option. The former is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged mStallion unit which is tuned to produce 200 PS (197 hp; 147 kW) and 380 N⋅m (38.7 kg⋅m; 280 lb⋅ft). The diesel option is a 2.2-litre four-cylinder mHawk turbodiesel. The entry level option of the engine produces 155 PS (153 hp; 114 kW) and 360 N⋅m (36.7 kg⋅m; 266 lb⋅ft), while the unit in higher variants is capable of 185 PS (182 hp; 136 kW) and 420 N⋅m (42.8 kg⋅m; 310 lb⋅ft) (manual) or 450 N⋅m (45.9 kg⋅m; 332 lb⋅ft) (automatic).[7] Both engines can be had with 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmission options, while the lower-spec diesel variant will only be available with a manual transmission. An all-wheel-drive variant is also available.[8]

It has a claimed ARAI rated fuel efficiency[9] of 15 km/L (35.28 mpg-US) and 17 km/L (40 mpg-US) for the petrol and diesel manual respectively and 13 km/L (30.58 mpg-US) and 16.5 km/L (38.95 mpg-US) for the petrol and diesel automatics respectively.
