Mahindra has released a new teaser for the XUV 7XO – the rebranded XUV700 facelift – previewing the updated SUV’s interior. By the looks of it, the Mahindra XUV 7XO cabin will receive substantial updates and borrow a notable feature from the all-electric XEV 9S and XEV 9e.
- XUV 7XO gets new two-spoke steering wheel and three-screen layout
- Powered boss mode and ambient lighting also added to the XUV 7XO
- Updated centre console removes physical HVAC controls
Mahindra XUV 7XO interior updates
First ICE-powered Mahindra car to offer a three-screen setup
The teaser confirms that the XUV 7XO will feature a triple-screen setup comprising a digital driver’s display, a central infotainment touchscreen and a passenger display. This makes the XUV 7XO the first ICE-powered Mahindra offering to get a triple-screen layout, which was previously exclusive to the XEV 9e and XEV 9S.
New steering wheel inspired by Mahindra EVs
We can also observe a new two-spoke steering wheel that looks very similar to those of Mahindra’s EVs, but this one sports the ‘Twin Peaks’ motif instead of the EV-exclusive ‘Infinity’ emblem. It is finished in a new beige-and-black colour scheme, as is the rest of the cabin.
Redone centre console deletes physical HVAC controls
Additionally, Mahindra has done away with the XUV700’s physical HVAC controls, folding the settings into the XUV 7XO’s infotainment touchscreen instead. The redesigned XUV 7XO centre console appears to include touch-capacitive controls for drive-mode selection, 360-degree camera, hazard lights, and more.
Powered boss mode and ambient lighting confirmed
Other new features for the XUV 7XO include a powered Boss mode that can electrically slide and recline the co-driver’s seat from the second row, ambient lighting and a Harman Kardon sound system; the XUV700 has a Sony sound system.
Mahindra XUV 7XO launch plans
