New Mahindra XUV700 to feature AI-based connectivity

Mahindra & Mahindra is upping the ante for the upcoming launch of the XUV700, one of the most –awaited launches of this year. Essentially a replacement for the current XUV500, the XUV700 will take things a notch higher with a heightened focus on technology and gadgets.

Mahindra has already revealed several segment-first features of the XUV700 that include a panoramic sunroof, flush-fitting door handles, auto booster headlamps, personalised safety alerts and much more.

Now, in a teaser video released yesterday, Mahindra & Mahindra has revealed clips of the SUV’s interior and information on the high level of connectivity available. What the video reveals is a single digital display unit comprising a touch-screen infotainment screen and a TFT driver display screen.

A key highlight is Adrenox, the new AI-based user interface which syncs with Alexa and can even open the sunroof. It helps create an immersive 3D music and changes drive performance with 4 modes titled 'Zip, Zap, Zoom, Custom'.

The Mahindra XUV700 will be larger than the current XUV500 and will be considerably more premium and luxurious. Just like the XUV500, the XUV700 has been conceived as a genuine three-row SUV. Under the hood, the XUV700 will get the option of a 200hp 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and a 185hp 2.2-litre diesel engine, making it the most powerful in its class. Transmission choices will include both manual and automatic gearboxes along with the options of AWD system.
