The Aero Concept certainly brings a freshness to the XUV700 because the overall silhouette already resembles the XUV500. In this edition, the designer has introduced many intricate details which make the SUV look unique. To start with, the front fascia is completely different without the vertically slated typical Mahindra grille. In place of that, there is a solid unit with a different pattern along with carbon fibre slabs on the top and bottom of the grille. The carbon fibre element is extended to various parts of the body including on the lower front bumper, wheel arch cladding and side body cladding.

The sides also feature a different design for the alloy wheels which could have been more stylish. There are characteristic creases on the side doors to give a distinct character to the SUV. The chrome belt line around the window has been blacked out to contrast with the blacked ou roof, Wing Mirrors and A, B and C-Pillars. The rear door panels feature sexy curves to make the rear tasteful. All in all, we would not be disappointed if Mahindra were to design the Aero Concept of the XUV700 along these lines.
