The Mahindra XUV700 has to be the most spied upcoming car of present times. In fact, it’s been seen undergoing road tests so many times that often, not a day passes without at least someone reporting the sighting of the upcoming. The XUV700 will be positioned above the XUV500 and will be a direct rival to the likes of the new-gen Tata Safari. Interestingly, an owner of the top-spec Adventure Persona edition of the Safari recently spotted the XUV700 at a resort. Quite unsurprisingly, he looks impressed with the size of the digital screen that the SUV will offer.

Speaking on the sighting of the Mahindra XUV700, one M.A. Afthab has remarked- “Spotted this new Mahindra XUV in Club Mahindra, Poovar. The display screen is double the size of Safari. No idea about the rest Best of luck for Mahindra.” Speaking of the infotainment system of the new XUV flagship, it has so far come to light that it would support video playback, which means you’ll be able to play your favourite movie on it. Of course, it will also provide the users with support for Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Bluetooth. Chances are that the screen would offer a touch controller a la BMW or Mercedes. In fact, even the single-pod twin-screen arrangement will remind you of the recent Mercs. Earlier spy media has revealed that the displays would offer crisp visuals with a clean layout.

The carmaker has already revealed that the Mahindra XUV700 will go on sale in both petrol and Diesel engine variants. These motors will be updated versions of the engines offered on the Thar. In their current states of tune, the petrol and Diesel engines provide 150PS and 130PS, respectively. One can safely expect these engines to be re-tuned for additional punch as well as refinement before being plonked under the hood of the upcoming SUV. There might be hybrid powertrain options as well to aid the fuel economy and probably the power figures slightly. Transmission options will include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic for both variants. To be launched next month, the XUV700 will go on to lock horns with the likes of the Tata Safari, MG Hector Plus and Hyundai Alcazar.
