Accident of Mahindra XUV700 after Delivery
This is an unfortunate event where the SUV crashed after the delivery. But there are many instances of such occurrences because many people are generally excited while driving the brand new car and they are not fully accustomed to what the new car has to offer and how will it behave. That is the reason why we see so many crashes of new cars. In this case, the details of how this happened are unclear. But the damage on the SUV is quite evident. The bonnet of the car seems to have suffered significant damage. It has completely been deformed and popped up. There might be a little damage to the engine bay area like the radiator which is generally placed at the front. But apart from that, the A-pillar and side fender looks unaffected which is great. This highlights the build quality of the SUV.
