What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer’s opinion
The engine and gearbox perform well, providing respectable acceleration and overtaking performance, but we found the gearbox sometimes undecided as to which gear it needed to be in, while the Start/Stop system often switches the engine off and hesitates to start up again.

Interior
What is the Mahindra XUV700 like inside?
The interior of Mahindra’s latest SUV is again a welcome departure from products of old, with a markedly improved design, with elements that appear to be inspired by products from the likes of Peugeot and Mercedes-Benz. The infotainment screen and electric seat adjustment buttons appear similar to those seen in Mercedes products, while the buttons for the HVAC system look similar to those used on Peugeot products. Speaking of infotainment, the slab-style screen houses two 10.25-inch screens, one which serves as a configurable instrument cluster and the other as a media and vehicle settings hub. Both screens feature good resolution, are easy to navigate and integrate your smartphone with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality.-Sean Nurse
Style
The Mahindra XUV700 showcases the Indian brand’s newfound design language and badge, ushering in a new era for the marque, which will focus on bakkies and SUVs going forward.
