Launched in August 2021, the XUV700 deliveries began late October in India with a starting price at Rs 12.49 Lakh (Ex-showroom, Pan India). It is a 5/7-seater SUV with many first-in-segment features like autonomous driving (ADAS), panoramic sunroof, all-wheel drive, among others. It gets both petrol and diesel engine options and manual and automatic gearbox options as well. 

Velusamy R, Chief of Global Product Development, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. said, “Our mission is to bring safer vehicles on Indian roads and to that end, we are building cars with maximum structural integrity loaded with tech-enabled features for maximum safety, performance and efficiency. In addition to the rating, it is heartening to be recognized by Global NCAP for being the first Indian made and owned brand to offer Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) as a safety option, part of ADAS."

Alejandro Furas, Secretary General of Global NCAP said, “Mahindra has achieved a major milestone with this top score for adult protection and by becoming the first Indian made and owned brand to offer Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) as a safety option. Making this life saving technology available is an important step in encouraging the widespread fitment of crash avoidance technologies. Mahindra is one of the leading manufacturers in India, committed to improving their vehicles in response to Global NCAP’s call to democratise vehicle safety.”
