Spotted Again: A Preview of the Mahindra XUV700's Facelift
The automotive world is abuzz with anticipation as Mahindra & Mahindra is set to unveil the facelifted version of its popular SUV, the XUV700. The refreshed model is expected to bring a host of updates, focusing primarily on refining its design and technology.
Redesigned Exterior
The XUV700 facelift will sport redesigned headlamps and updated LED daytime running lights, adding a fresh, modern look to the SUV. The rear end of the vehicle will also see subtle updates, including a revised bumper and a new LED lightbar. One of the most noticeable changes will be the reworked front grille and bumper, giving the XUV700 a more robust and dynamic appearance.
Engine and Performance
The engine and performance updates will focus on refining the XUV700's design and technology. The 2.2-litre diesel engine, a staple in the XUV700, will continue to be offered. For those opting for this powertrain, they can expect 182 bhp at 3,500 rpm and 420 Nm of torque with the manual gearbox, or 450 Nm of torque with the automatic transmission. The petrol variant of the XUV700 facelift might also receive drive modes for improved fuel efficiency.
Interior Upgrades
The cabin of the XUV700 facelift might adopt a new dashboard layout inspired by the upcoming XUV.e9. An upgraded Harman/Kardon audio system with Dolby Atmos, integrated with the new navigation system, is likely to be a premium feature in the facelift. However, it seems the third passenger screen, seen on Mahindra's electric concepts, might not be incorporated into the XUV700 facelift.
Additional Features
The XUV700 facelift may feature a self-parking function, adding convenience to the driving experience. A digital key could also be introduced, offering a modern and secure method of vehicle access. Lastly, a new alloy wheel design is likely to be introduced, further enhancing the SUV's aesthetics.
Launch and Next-Gen Mahindra Bolero Neo
While the exact launch date for the XUV700 facelift is yet to be announced, the buzz surrounding it is growing. Meanwhile, the expected launch of the next-gen Mahindra Bolero Neo is another exciting development in the automotive industry.
