XUV700 is essentially a replacement for the current XUV500, and it will take things to the next level with great attention to technology and gadgets. Mahindra is already teasing XUV700’s priority features in several market segments, including AdrenoX informatics suite with Alexa Auto, multiple driving modes, panoramic sunroofs, auto-assisted headlights, personalized safety alerts, and more.
