Colour Options on offer
Now, more details regarding the upcoming SUV have been revealed online, specifically letting out colour options on offer in XUV700. The homegrown manufacturer had taken to Twitter to reveal that XUV700 will be offered in five paint schemes.

However, as per the source code of the company’s website, there are two additional colour options that will be on offer. These include Rave Copper and Galaxy Grey which are expected to be listed once the car gets officially launched in the coming few weeks. It is possible that there will be seven colour options in total. A spy shot of an undisguised prototype was leaked a couple of months ago which was wrapped in the Rave Copper paint scheme.
Variants on offer
The most striking revelation is that there isn’t going to be a dual-tone colour variant on offer with XUV700. Post its unveil, Mahindra XUV700 is on a multi-city tour across major cities of the country.
