It was one of the first Indian cars to offer this, and since then, many others have followed its lead.
Today, I am going to tell you about the top 5 features you get in this family SUV that justify its price. So, without further ado, let's jump in, and dont forget to join the 91Wheels WhatsApp channel to never miss out on auto updates.

10.25 Inch Infotainment and 10.25 Inch of Driver's display
The single large screen, which houses two separate displays, has always been the biggest highlight of the XUV700. It is operated via an intelligent Adrenox system, which enhances its functionality. You can customise it, operate ADAS, configure your drive settings, and use the multimedia controls. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also available wirelessly.
4 Drive Modes in Mahindra XUV700
The Mahindra XUV700 is a fast SUV, powered by two turbocharged engines (petrol and diesel). To enhance the driving pleasure, the automaker has provided four drive modes: Zip, Zap, Zoom, and Custom. Zip is for comfortable driving, Zap changes gears at higher RPMs, and Zoom is for best performance. In Zoom mode, the steering wheel becomes heavier, and the throttle response reaches its peak.
Finally, the Custom mode allows you to adjust the weight of the steering wheel and throttle response according to your needs. This option is available with the 6-speed automatic transmission.
Sony 12 Speakers in Mahindra XUV700
The speakers in this SUV produce some of the best sound quality among Indian cars. They give you the fake sense of being at a concert, listening to your favorite artist live. Additionally, Mahindra provides immersive 3D sound technology, which takes the music experience to the next level. There are also three other sound modes: Stage, Party, and Breezy.
6-Way Power Adjustable Seat
A lot of cars get power-adjustable seats, but Mahindra has done this very gracefully. See, a lot of vehicles provide this function and put the switches down below the seat, where you can't see them. So the only way of operating, is to use your hands and remember which buttons do what.
In the XUV700, all the switches are positioned on the door, above the power window switches. Additionally, when you approach the vehicle, the seats move back to provide extra legroom and then move forward once you are seated. There are also three memory settings available, and with the 2024 update, Mahindra has added memory ORVMs, which are a first in the segment.
ADAS Level 2
With the help of radar and sensors, autonomous driving is possible in the Mahindra XUV700. Again, this is one of the first Indian cars to get ADAS Level 2, and this feature is responsible for a lot of sales. In the ADAS system, you get: Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control, Traffic Sign Recognition, High Beam Assist, and Lane Keeping Assist. All these safety features help in controlling the car, but it is not recommended to ever take your eyes off the road and fully rely on the sensors.
Other features that you get in the Mahindra XUV700 are:-
- 7 Airbags
- Wireless Charging
- Rear LED sequential turn
- One Touch Driver Power Window with Smart Close
- Dual Zone Climate Control
- Automatic Headlamps, and Rain sensing wipers
- Ventilated seats

Verdict
These features in the Mahindra XUV700 make you feel like a VIP, especially in the drivers seat, where you have so many controls. However, even in the 2024 update, the automaker has refused to provide auto-dimming IRVMs and still includes manual IRVMs in such an expensive vehicle. Despite this, it is still one hell of a vehicle, and despite its minor flaws, it drives like a tank.
