Mahindra is set to launch the XUV700 facelift in India. Before its release on January 5, the company confirmed that the new model will have a different name: the XUV 7XO. This name change fits with how the company names its Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) models. Mahindra XUV700 follows the pattern established by the XUV300 facelift, which was rebranded as the XUV 3XO. The automaker has also shared a teaser that highlights some of the new exterior design features.
Mahindra XUV700 teaser show exterior designs
The teaser video shows that the SUV will take several design cues from its recently launched electric model, the XEV 9S, while still having its own unique look. The XUV 7XO includes 7-shaped Daytime Running Lamps (DRLs) around the headlight cluster, which contain trapezoidal LED light units. The grille features a new version of Mahindra’s well-known slatted design.
Moreover, many spy shots of the XUV 7XO show that the company will likely keep the sheet metal changes minimal, meaning the XUV700’s shape will remain largely unchanged in the facelift.
Facelift consists the triple screen setup
Mahindra XUV700 interior images shows that the facelift include a triple-screen setup, as same to other recent electric vehicles. There will likely be options for models that seat either 6 or 7 people.
The XUV 7XO will probably come with the same engine options as the XUV700. It will feature a 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine and a 2.2-liter diesel engine. Both engines will offer choices for a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission. Additionally, the diesel version will have the option for All-Wheel Drive, which improves traction and stability on different road surfaces.
