Mahindra XUV700 facelift is being tested, with the first big update since 2021
The initial significant leap since its 2021 launch is provided with renewed styling and an additional number of technology features.
The XUV700 has been in the market since the end of 2021, but Mahindra is working on the first massive update of this amazing car.
The first glimpse of a test model of the facelifted SUV has now been noticed and it is covered in camouflage and has gone out to test in a rural area with hilly terrain.
What’s Changing on the Outside?
While the overall design remains familiar, some clear changes can be seen:
· New LED Headlamps: The present smooth lights were taken over by the round-shaped LED light.
· Daytime Running Lights (DRLs): The previous C-shaped DRLs are a thing of the past. The round headlights have now LED rings, that will possibly act as DRLs.
· Modernised Grille: The newly designed grille has additional slats.
· Sharper Air Dam: The bottom bumper looks to receive a thinner air intake.
alike appearance: There is probable that alloy wheels, tail lights and side profile will remain the same.
Financial Express adds that two of the strangely-looking auxiliary lights captured in the spy shots are probably only meant as testing purposes and will not be part of the final product.
Tech and Feature Upgrades on the Cards
Mahindra can do little to improve the features, but it can include more creature comforts to remain ahead.
· Rear and front ventilated seats
· Three screens throughout the dashboard
· Dolby Atmos sound system by Harman upgraded
· NFC Tech digital key
The most likely scenario with engine possibilities is that nothing will change.
There will be no significant mechanical modifications underneath the bonnet. The facelifted XUV700 is going to most likely carry on with the same engine options:
· 2.0-litre turbo petrol (mStallion)
· 2.2-litre diesel (mHawk)
They will both have 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmission. The high-performance diesel model will still have an all-wheel drive (AWD).
Launch Timeline
While Mahindra hasn’t confirmed an official launch date yet, the testing phase suggests the facelifted XUV700 could arrive in showrooms later this year.
