XUV 7XO Press Release

Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. the top automobile producer of SUV in India today has announced the name of its much-awaited up market SUV: the mahindra XUV 7XO. The revolutionary XUV700, a car that had revolutionized its segment, is the ultimate successor of this new product which already has more than 300,000 satisfied customers in only four years.

The XUV 7XO builds on the formula made by the XUV700, which is having an excellent design, state of the art technology, unmatched comfort, and brisk performance, but goes to the next level with it. The XUV 7XO is not merely designed to be evolved, but also to be the best with its design being tailored to cement the Mahindra brand in the high-price SUV segment, as well as to shape the future of the SUVs.

Mahindra XUV 7XO Design: A Fresh Look

It does give some strong clues in the video that the design of the Mahindra XUV 7XO will be similar to the new XEV 9S, which will have modernized headlamps and tail lamps. In order to meet a fresher look, the SUV will be equipped with a modified radiator grille and a redesigned front bumper with a new lower air dam, which is one of the main differences in the SUV compared to the electric XEV. The back also has changes to make, probably a new bumper with new redesigned fog lights and new scuff plate.

Mahindra is eager to retain the winning design language of the XUV700 whose creases and lines have already gained acceptance by the buyers. Core items such as the flush door handles, roof rails and general sheet metal design are to be retained. The main changes in the exterior will probably consist of a blacked-out roof, a new alloy wheels design and the new Mahindra XUV 7XO badging.

XUV 7XO: New Cabin, Premium Features

A substantial change of list will be experienced in the interior of the Mahindra XUV 7XO. It is expected that the highlight would be a triple-screen set-up, just like the advanced set-up in the XEV 9E and 9S. New features added to its already large equipment list will also include electric boss mode switches, a panoramic sunroof with a lighting effect, rear tray tables, driver seat memory feature, and an updated ADAS system with new parking assistance features.
