New Beast In Market (XUV7OO)

Mahindra XUV700 is a five and seven-seat SUV by Mahindra launched at the end of September 2021. It comes with four distinctive variants and three different powertrain options. This compact SUV takes on the Hyundai Alcazar, MG Hector Plus, Tata Harrier, Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and MG Astor.


LOOKS

  • The XUV700 is the first model in the company’s product line-up to feature the new brand logo
  • This logo – with its sharp edges and three-dimensional finish – looks snazzy and contemporary, especially in the chrome finish. It sits on a new-fangled grille design. Although this grille has the same ameliorate vibe which was our initial viewpoint when we saw Thar’s grille for the first time.
  • The double-vertical louvre panning across the blacked-out grille frame is new. They are adjoined by a new headlamp layout which seems inspired by Renault's lobster-claw design seen on their international models like Megane and Arkana.  

  • Look into the finer details and the headlamp’s lightning signature has a twin-strip surround, black inserts (with many indentations) and LED lights making it slightly busy. But the overall shape of the headlamp lends the XUV a very masculine appeal

FEATURES

The feature list is impressive for its length and how it’s been spread out.:-
  •  Even the base MX variant gets an 8” touchscreen system and Android Auto and 7” digital display for the driver. 
  • It also packs steering-mounted controls and power-adjustable ORVMs. The next variant, the AX3, gets the AdrenoX system which uses two 10.25” screens to create a digital dashboard. 
  • One screen is a touchscreen for the infotainment while the other is for the driver’s instrument cluster, a’la Mercedes. 
  • It is paired with a 6-speaker audio setup, wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and Alexa Assistant. 
  • You also get connected car tech with 60 features from this variant.

  •  It’s the AX5 that packs this panoramic sunroof and adds curtain airbags that extend all the way to the 3rd row. 
  • And when you get to the AX7 variant you get the dual-zone climate control, special leatherette upholstery, a six-way powered seat for the driver with memory function, air purifier and side airbags.
  • The stellar twelve-speaker and amplifier-equipped Sony sound system, the 360-degree camera, the accompanying blind spot monitor and electronic parking brake are going to be offered as add-on packs, so you could get these on lower AX trims too!

  •  It is likely that the packs as denoted by the XUV 700 L and XUV 700 T badges on the test cars will be Luxury and Tech packs.
  • Advanced Driver Assistance Systems like Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Auto-Emergency Braking (AEB) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) are segment-first features


  • Aside from this you get the latest generation ESC with a multitude of technologies like hill-hold, disc wiping and secondary collision mitigation (SCM).
In Features -> 9 out of 10

SPACE


  • The seats are large and generous, especially up front, and the cushioning, though a touch on the firm side, offers good all-round support, keeping you free from aches even after long hours in the cabin. 
  • The XUV700 comes in 5- and 7-seat configurations, but it’s the three-row version we were testing. 
  • While the legroom in the middle row may not be as generous as the Hector or Safari, there is ample space and even tall passengers will be comfy, despite the massive panoramic sunroof's thick frame eating a bit into the headroom.
  • Despite the 50mm increase in wheelbase over the XUV500, third-row room isn’t that much, and headroom too is very limited here. There are, however, dedicated AC vents and the glass area is quite large.
  • With the third row up, boot space is limited, but there’s ample luggage room with the third row folded down. Shifting the spare wheel’s location from under the boot floor to under the chassis has also freed up more room, but we are not sure how convenient this arrangement is when it comes to changing a flat.

The traditional front grill of jeep compass just looks amazing but the design are subjective so we will not talk more about that , the other good thing in this car is its seats , they are very comfortable and are good in side and knee support.

(Score on features is 92)

SPACE IN COMPASS

Jeep Compass has a very well made spacious cabin as the seats color of the car is white which give it more airy feel. As , I have told the seats of these car is comfortable the other thing which add on this is the good leg room and knee room and it is wider car from back so sitting of three passengers will not be a problem at all.

This car also good in terms of utility section as in the doors you can keep the 1L bottles and the glove box is also of decent size . You can also keep your stuff in the center console as well and in the front armrest too.


The boot of the Compass is also very wide and there is no loading lib so keeping that big boxes will not be that much problem at all . So total boot space of compass is of 438L.


(Score in space section is 88)


DRIVING DYNAMICS


This car comes with two engine options :-



                                                     PETROL ENGINE

TYPE :- 1.4L Multiair Petrol in-line 4 cylinderPOWER:- 160bhp @ 5500rpmTORQUE:- 250Nm @ 2500-4000rpmTRANSMISSION :- 6 speed Manual  and 7 speed DCT

This engine in manual transmission gives overall mileage of around 12 kmpl and in the automatic transmission it gives mileage of 10.5kmpl.


                                                  DIESEL ENGINE

TYPE:- 2.0L Multijet II diesel in-line cylinderPOWER:-  170bhp @ 3750rpmTORQUE:- 350Nm @ 1750-2500rpmTRANSMISSION:- 6 speend manual

This engine gives city mileage of about 13.14kmpl and highway mileage of 18.5kmpl.



This car is ideal for highway journey and offroading more as compared to that on the city conditions because its clutch is heavy and the steering wheel is also heavy which make it difficult to drive in the city condition. But when you drive this car on the highway it will blow your mind with its performance as it has very good handling and you will love to push this car into corners with such powered engines and with 4 wheel drive the handling and drive ability of car increases more.

When you take this car over the hills or on bad roads its traction control and 4 wheel drive make it amazing to drive . You will feel very less bumps on harsh roads as it comes with stiffer suspension setup. (Front suspension- McPherson strut , Rear suspension- Multi link).


(Score in driving dynamics is 94)


ABOUT MAHINDRA XUV 5OO


This car has got recently facelift and this car is also was a nice looking car because in its facelift there is too much going on its design which makes its little bit disturbing too much but from the car overall look you can get the feel of SUV stance , so by not talking too much of its design we will talk about its interiors .


This car has got piano black finish in the cabin the cabin looks good but catches dust very frequently. The seats of this car is are good for side support and knee support but there cushioning is not good so finding the ideal driving position is difficult.


FEATURES


  • Cruise Control
  • Electrical adjustable driver seats
  • 7 Seater
  • All wheel drive configuration
  • Sunroof

(Score in features is 86)

SPACE IN CABIN


This car is better in space as compared to that of the jeep compass because it is a 7 seater and when we fold the rear most seats the boot increases in a huge amount and the second seats have the option of the Captain seats and bench seats .


The space in this car also good for keeping your utility places as the doors can have easily that 1L bottle and the glove box is much better than the size of the glove box in the jeep compass. In this car the knee room and shoulder room are good but the less cushioning seats decreases the comfort.


This car comes with boot space of 93 L with all the seats up and this boot space is mainly not for keeping your big stuff but with rear seats fold the boot increases to 702 L which is very large and the rear seats make the surface flat so keeping the big boxes will not be that much problem .

(Score in space section is 90)


DRIVING DYNAMICS


This car comes with one engine option:-


                                                                 
PETROL ENGINE


TYPE:- 2.2L mHawk 4 Cylinder petrol engine
POWER:- 140bhp@ 4500rpm
TORQUE:- 320Nm @ 2000-3000rpm
TRANSMISSION:- 6 Speed automatic


The mileage in the city is 8 to 9 kmpl and on the highway is 11 to 12 kmpl.


                                                                  DIESEL ENGINE


TYPE:-2.2L mHawk 4 cylinder diesel engine
POWER:- 155bhp@ 3750rpm
TORQUE:- 360Nm @ 1750-2800rpm
TRANSMISSION:- 6 Speed manual and automatic


The mileage in city is 10 to 11 kmpl and on highway the mileage is 15 to 16 kmpl.


Both of the engine are quite powerful and of the best engine at this price range there is only one petrol engine and this car is more known for its diesel engine and this car is quite powerful and with the all wheel drive configuration and by this it also become a quite good contender for offroading as well.


This car is good for both the highway and city purposes as it has very light clutch and light steering wheel which make it very easy to drive , the bad thing about this car is that it does not have that much punch or power in the engine which is offered by the diesel engine of jeep compass . 


This car is not as tough on bad roads as compared to jeep compass you will feel the bumps in the cabin this is because its suspension is on the softer side and the front suspension is McPherson Strut and rear suspension is Multi link. This car has got better brakes than the one in the jeep compass but its seats remove the overall comfort in this car.
