The Mahindra XUV700 replaces the successful XUV500 as an all-new model with multiple industry-first and segment-first features. Mahindra XUV700 is offered in two seating configurations - Mahindra XUV700 5-seater and Mahindra XUV700 7-seater, catering to a wide audience base looking for vehicles between Rs 10 Lakh - Rs 25 Lakh segments. 

The Mahindra XUV700 also gets two variant lineups - entry-level MX and feature packed AX series comprising AX3, AX5, and AX7. Also, there are two engine options to choose from - 2.2-litre petrol and diesel engines both getting manual as well as automatic gearbox options. 

The Mahindra XUV700 gets features like ADAS comprising autonomous driving features like lane keep assist, auto emergency braking, adaptive cruise control among others. 

Having said that, Mahindra is facing a production crunch due to chip-shortage and more than bookings in the case of  Thar SUV. Mahindra Thar was booked by more than 75,000 customers but the waiting periods for delivery has crossed as much as a year for certain variants. 

It will be interesting to see how Mahindra will cater to the XUV700 customers when Thar customers are waiting for their SUVs to get delivered.
