The centre console is dominated by a 9.2-inch touchscreen system.
The infotainment system on XUV700 gets Android Auto and Mirror link while Apple CarPlay is expected to be introduced later with a software update. This system also gets onboard navigation along with high-end music system for audio lovers. The controls for AC are placed below it and the company might give dual-zone climate control.
The XUV700 is packed with features like alloy wheels, automatic headlamp, rain sensing wipers, sunroof, 360-degree camera with parking sensors, cruise control, keyless entry, push-button start, electronically controlled exterior mirrors, 7 airbags, ABS, EBD, traction control system, stability control system and more.
The SUV will be powered by 2.2 L four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with 187 hp and 420 Nm of torque. This engine will be mated to 7-speed automatic transmission sourced from Mercedes Benz and the company is expected to offer both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive variants. Mahindra XUV700 competes against Toyota Fortuner and Ford Endeavour.
