Mahindra XUV 700 has been finally revealed by Mahindra.
Mahindra has taken a lot of time to reveal the SUV, but let me tell you it seems that it is worth the wait.
Mahindra launched the XUV 500 in 2011 and kept launching its facelift versions from time to time but nothing major was ever changed.
And the overall look and feel of the car remained almost the same.
The last facelift of the XUV 500 was launched in 2018.
And rumors of the next gen XUV 500 started spreading after a year or so.
Many spied the next gen XUV 500 while the mahindra was testing it.
And it has been a long time since the XUV 500 next gen was first spied testing in the Indian roads.
But Mahindra shocked everyone when it renamed the XUV 500 to XUV 700 and confirmed its launch in 2021.
And ever since we have been seeing more and more spied shots of the XUV 700.
Now that it’s here, let’s See what the first impressions are.
As usual, let’s start with its looks.
