It’s surprising to note that the XUV700’s pricing in Australia is much lower than the model sold in India. But do note that these Australian prices are before taxes and other add-ons, so the final sticker price could climb up before you take delivery. 

The XUV700 sold in Australia gets almost zilch changes when pitched against the model sold on our shores. So it gets the same exterior styling, upmarket interior and a lengthy features list as seen in the model sold here. To take a closer look at the Mahindra XUV700, check out our in-depth image gallery. 

Highlights of its features list include dual 10.25-inch screens comprising the digital driver’s display and touchscreen infotainment system, dual-zone climate control, connected car tech, a panoramic sunroof, 12-speaker Sony 3D sound system, powered driver’s seat and a wireless phone charger.
