Mahindra XUV700 to get a six-seater layout soon
Mahindra & Mahindra is expected to introduce a new six-seater variant of its XUV700 flagship SUV in India. Now, an image of the six-seater configuration, with captain seat layout for the second row, has been spotted on the company's AdrenoX app. However, the features and mechanical specifications of the upcoming model will remain the same. It is currently offered in five-seater and seven-seater trims.
Why does it matter?
Mahindra XUV700 is already a popular model in India as of now and has a waiting period of over a year. The arrival of the new variant will further add to this waiting time. Meanwhile, another AX7 Smart trim of the XUV700 is also on its way which will be positioned below the top-spec AX7 Luxury variant of the four-wheeler.
The car flaunts chrome grille and LED lighting
Mahindra XUV700 features a muscular bonnet, a chrome slat grille, a narrow blacked-out air dam, a shark fin antenna, and a roof-mounted spoiler. For lighting, it sports C-shaped LED headlights, LED DRLs, and arrow-shaped LED taillights. On the sides, the vehicle is flanked by roof rails, black B-pillars, indicator-mounted ORVMs, sharp character lines, and 18-inch alloy wheels with flared arches.
Two engine options are offered
The Mahindra XUV700 comes with a 2.0-liter turbo-petrol motor that generates 197.13hp/380Nm and a 2.2-liter turbo-diesel mill that is available in three states of tunes: 152.87hp/360Nm, 182.38hp/420Nm, and 182.38hp/450Nm. Transmission duties are handled by a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
It boasts 12 speakers and dual 10.25-inch displays
