    My favorite Indian car is the Mahindra XUV700. It has the perfect mix of power, comfort, and features. The performance is better than most modern sedans, and it still handles well for an SUV. Add to that the road presence, tech, and safety features — it's a solid package that's hard to beat for the price.

    I love the Mahindra XUV700 AX7, because of the features and powerful engine. Also the transmission is so smooth, it is almost seamless. I have driven a 2020 Renault Triber, with it's AMT. It was so bad, I had almost 2-3 seconds of zero control in between gear shifting. But when I drove the XUV700, I fell in love with its handling, the acceleration and milliseconds of time between gear shifts

    XUV700 diesel automatic. It's smooth like butter, very good ride quality and (was)head turner. Right now no other vehicle in that category and price point gives such features.

    That must be the Mahindra XUV700. Just love what brilliant package it is. From fun to drive engines to an excellent and comprehensive feature set, it easily gives the more expensive cars out there a run for their money. And I also feel its well-priced for what if offers, considering how expensive cars are getting these days. Also, like that the variety in trim levels has something for everyone. As an XUV500 owner, this is the perfect upgrade that I will be looking at few years down the line when the time comes with get a new car

    XUV700 AWD is my favourite, the AWD system (imo if they added an option for something like Haldex along with their electronic on demand AWD, maybe in some specific trim only, would have won the title for the best car period) compared with the monocoque chassis and good tires make the car capable to reach majority of locations and terrains, yes I have said we, majority of us don't need a proper offroading vehicle. I am a owner of a FWD XUV500 and I am amazed by the performance of the car. The XUV700 ticks all the boxes which an adventure junkie like me has, comfort and performance for long rides and rides , the AWD making me capable of reaching any place, good interior space for friends and luggage (possible camping), good reliability and performance too.

    I love XUV 700 AX7L for the zippyness it yields and the power it packs... have driven long trips and the cruise mode with auto emergency brake application and resumtion of mode works flawlessly! The seating is comfy and spacious! Plus the NVH levels have close to zero with application of Damping sheets! Not to forget the ease of handling with the electric steering :)

    Usually my priorities in the car as go like this 1. Ride comfort 2. Safety 3. Power 4. Cabin space I could find great match of these with XUV7OO comes in mHawk engine. It has Independent multi-link rear suspension with semi active dampers provides superior ride comfort and it attained 5 star safety rating for adult occupant in GNCAP . XUV7OO has ample space for 5 passengers though boot space is compromised with 3-row seat up. But long journeys can easily be accomplished with children occupying 3rd row.

    I love the XUV 700. It's reliable engine delivers a magnificent power and the moNocoque design provides an elegant balance to the aesthetics. The seven seater variant is value-for-money for a typical large indian family. The car is also a driver's delight to indulge in smooth drives on the highway and even on rough terrains.
