Mahindra has managed to hit the ball out of the park with the debut of XUV700. Not only does it offer loads of features on the SUV, but also offers them at a very competitive price. Even the base MX variant is astonishingly well equipped and might give stiff competition to SUVs belonging to a segment below like Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.
Mahindra is getting ready to launch their new flagship SUV, the XUV700 in India. The SUV has already been unveiled, and is currently on a multi-city tour across major cities in India. Official bookings are yet to start. Some dealers have been accepting unofficial bookings.
