Mahindra XUV700 Blaze Edition: what’s new?
A matte red paint finish on a car or an SUV has never been seen before on Indian roads, so this should give the XUV700 a very unique touch. The red will be contrasted with a blacked-out finish for the roof, wing mirrors, grille, alloy wheels and the A-, B- and C-pillars. There’ll also be Blaze Edition badges on the tail gate and front fenders.
On the inside, the XUV700 Blaze Edition will come with an all-black interior with contrasting red stitching for the upholstery and red accents for the AC vents and centre console. The Blaze Edition is based on top-spec AX7 L trim, which means it will come fully loaded with all the bells and whistles the XUV700 has to offer.
Mahindra XUV700 Blaze Edition: powertrain options
The Blaze Edition will be offered with three powertrain options, and only in 7-seater guise for now. In petrol guise, the XUV700 Blaze Edition will only get the automatic gearbox option while the diesel gets both the manual and the automatic. The 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine produces 200hp and 380Nm while the 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine produces 185hp and 420Nm (450Nm with AT). The Blaze Edition is also not available on the diesel AWD variants.
In the midsize SUV class, the Kia Seltos, Volkswagen Taigun and Skoda Kushaq are some models that offer a matte paint finish.
