Mahindra has had formidable grasp in the D-segment, with its vehicles such as the Scorpio Classic, Scorpio N and the Thar Roxx. But with the increasing competition the manufacturer has sought to give XUV700 a cosmetic Refresh. The new version of the Mahindra XUV700 has been spied being tested under camouflage for the first time.
In a previous update from Tamilotors 360, we could witness the first ever test mule with a full camouflage. Since this was probably a early rendition of what the XUV 700 facelift, the majority of the design elements were similar to the existing XUV700. But it seems that the upcoming XUV 700 would be equipped with a bunch of new updates and the front fascia would most likely be redesigned to give the car a fresh aesthetic.

Going by the new sighting the SUV had a redesign front fascia with a pair of new headlights with LED inserts inside. The front fascia would now have a much more enticing appeal for competing against the contemporary competitors in the market. While the older vehicle had circular LED inserts the new headlight has square inserts that add to the overall appeal of the vehicle.
Powertrains
The Powertrains would most likely remain the same unless Mahindra is planning to launch the new vehicle with a new Hybrid Powertrain. The car would be propelled by a 2.0L Turbo Petrol -197BHP engine that has a peak Torque of 380 Nm. Beyond that a 2.2 L Turbo Diesel engine would be on offer too which generates 182 BHP and a peak Torque of 450nm.
