If you’re eyeing a new SUV, here’s some news you’ll want to know. Mahindra, the domestic car manufacturer, is gearing up to introduce a new variant of its popular SUV, the XUV700.
According to reports from Autocar, Mahindra will soon unveil the ‘Blaze Edition’ of the XUV700, but here’s the catch – it’s limited to just 2,500 units.
Unique Features and Pricing
The special Blaze Edition will sport a distinctive matte red paint finish, setting it apart from the standard models.
Reports suggest that the starting ex-showroom price for this edition could be around Rs 24.24 lakh.
Cosmetic Changes and Configuration
Expect to see several cosmetic changes in the Blaze variant, including an all-black interior with a single AC vent and center console.
Moreover, Mahindra is likely to offer the Blaze Edition in a 7-seater configuration, catering to larger families or those who need the extra space.
Powertrain Options
Under the hood, the Blaze Edition is anticipated to come with three powertrain options.
While the petrol variant will offer only an automatic gearbox, the diesel variant will provide customers with the choice of manual or automatic transmission.
Engine Specifications
In terms of power, the upcoming XUV700’s 2.2-litre turbo petrol engine is expected to deliver 185bhp of maximum power and a peak torque of 420Nm.
However, in the automatic variant, the engine might produce a slightly higher peak torque of 450Nm.
Competition in the Market
Once launched, the Mahindra XUV700 Blaze Edition will go head-to-head with competitors like the Hyundai Alcazar, MG Hector Plus, and Tata Safari in the SUV market segment.
