The Mahindra XUV700 looks all set to be revealed in the near future and as a precursor to the official debut, the homegrown carmaker has been revealing various segment-best features of the new SUV through teaser videos. The latest to have come online is a short clip that lets us have a good look at the clear view LED headlamps of the new model. The C-shaped LED DRLs not only add a touch of style to the exterior of the new offering but should even provide clear illumination. These should help the owners of the XUV700 with great view of the road during nighttime driving. It must be noted here that the carmaker has already revealed the headlamp auto boost feature, which amplifies the high beam at speeds above 80 kmph.

Other than the clear view LED headlamps, the carmaker has recently revealed the smart air purifier technology that this SUV will come with. The air filtration system claims to kill 99% of germs and viruses, which is something that makes a lot of sense in today’s world wherein a pathogen has spelled mass-scale havoc. Other than this, the Mahindra XUV700 will even come with several other great features such as a largest-in-segment sunroof, Mercedes S-Class-like flush-fitting smart door handles, driver drowsiness detection system, 360-degree camera, Mercedes-like twin-screen display for infotainment instrumentation units, dual-zone climate control, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wireless smartphone charger, ventilated front seats, and connected car technology. The new SUV, which will be positioned above the XUV500, will have MG Gloster-like Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) that will provide features like lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking and blind-spot alert system.
