The Mahindra XUV 700 based on the Ssangyong Rexton is likely to launch in India within the next 2-3 months. Will rival against Toyota Fortuner and Ford Endeavour.
At the advent of the festive season this year, Mahindra is going to launch its Ssangyong Rexton based premium SUV in India. Codenamed as the Y400, and likely to be called the XUV 700, this new utility vehicle is going to sit above the XUV 500. And hence, take up the place as the flagship product for the homegrown automaker in India. Recent media reports suggest that Mahindra is going to launch this XUV 700 in India within the next 2-3 months. In addition to this, it will also launch two other utility vehicles, a sub-compact SUV and a premium MPV in India by the end of this year itself. More on this new SUV below.
Underpinning the 2018 Mahindra XUV 700 is a new body-on-frame chassis that comes from Ssangyong. The traditional construction should improve the ruggedness of the upcoming SUV. Images show that the new SUV borrows in plenty from the design study. Design elements like a bold shoulder-line and flared wheel arches give this model a really aggressive stance. The XUV 700 is likely to have a long wheelbase of 2,865 mm, which should translate to generous leg space. The upcoming SUV boasts of many modern safety and connectivity features. Powering the XUV700 will be a 2.2-litre, 4-cylinder, Turbo Diesel engine that is likely to come mated to 6-speed Manual and 7-speed Automatic transmissions.

Mahindra XUV 700 Design Review
The upcoming Mahindra SUV will be largely identical to the 2018 SsangYong Rexton you seen in the images we have. However, Mahindra’s designers will give the SUV their own styling touches. Expect a new grille up front, a new set of alloy wheels and, of course, Mahindra badging all around.
On the inside, the new SUV could feature a slightly different steering wheel design and different colour scheme. The 2018 SsangYong Rexton is based on the LIV-2 Concept that was on display at the 2016 Paris Motor Show. Much of the design stays true to the concept with the exception of the front grille and bumper, headlamps and alloy wheel design. The upcoming SUV from Mahindra-SsangYong will feature three rows of seats offering to seat for 6-7 occupants.
