New Delhi: Mahindra XUV700 is all set to be unveiled tomorrow on August 14, 2021, in one of the much-awaited car unveiling this year. Mahindra is expected to only unveil the first looks and features of the car before it opens up the bookings for the highly-anticipated SUV later in 2021.
Mahindra XUV700 will rival against the likes of the newly launched Hyundai Alcazar as well as the MG Hector Plus and Tata Safari in India’s premium 7-seater SUV automobile segment.

On the other hand, the diesel variant of the Mahindra XUV700 is expected to sport a 2.2L turbocharged mHawk motor which is said to be capable of generating maximum power of 185bhp.
Mahindra XUV700 will sport several features that are said to be the best in the segment. For instance, the SUV will come with a panoramic sunroof named Skyroof that is said to be the largest in the segment.
Some of the new-age features such as support for AdrenoX voice and Alexa voice commands. The SUV will also come with features such as dual-screen setup, driver drowsiness detection, and auto booster headlamps, among others.
Soon after the unveiling of the Mahindra XUV700, the homegrown automaker is expected to announce the booking details of the SUV. However, reports suggest that bookings are likely to start from September or early October.
Mahindra XUV700 could be launched at a starting price of Rs 16 lakh for the base variant while the high-end model could be priced at about Rs 22 lakhs.
