Mahindra XUV700

I own a Mahindra XUV700L. Very satisfied with the car but there are some small irritations i have with it... Just went for my first service and not even the Mahindra personel could assist me with some of the features..
The one thing is the navigation in the instrument cluster (where your speedometer and rev counter is) you are supposed to be able to view the navigation on the screen behind your steering wheel aswell but cannot get it to work. Anyone else have that issue?
The other one is the lack of the Adrenox system when can we also utilise this?
The navigation shows up for me when I have android auto connected, the next turn etc show behinf the wheel in the middle and the top of screen shows you how far you still have to get to destination.

My gripe is how noone at Mahindra can explain why my AX7L isn't connecting wirelessly to android auto, I find it very annoying when the brochures advertise it with wireless AA

AFAIK Wireless Android Auto isn't supported in South Africa. Something to do with the esim that is disabled here which affects it.
 
Mahindra XUV 7XO revealed as updated XUV700

The new Mahindra XUV 7XO has been revealed in India, debuting as an updated version of the XUV700. Here’s what we know about this refreshed SUV so far…

- New XUV 7XO is effectively a facelifted XUV700
- Gains refreshed styling and upgraded suspension
- Trio of 12.3-inch screens dominate revised cabin

Meet the new Mahindra XUV 7XO. Effectively a facelifted XUV700, this updated SUV – again available with up to 7 seats – adopts the Indian firm’s latest naming convention (which debuted on the smaller XUV 3XO).

Unveiled in India, the XUV 7XO will officially hit its domestic market towards the middle of January 2026. Though technically not yet confirmed for South Africa, we’d speculate this Chakan-built model will arrive in Mzansi later this year.

So, what’s new on the XUV 7XO? Well, while it again measures 4 695 mm long, the SUV’s exterior styling now includes a new grille, updated headlamps, “diamond-inspired” LED taillamps, fresh 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and plenty of gloss-black exterior components.

Inside the Indian-spec version, you’ll find a trio of 12.3-inch screens (virtually spanning the width of the dashboard), a 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, a 540-degree camera (with digital video recording), a new steering-wheel design and various advanced driver-assistance features.

Under the skin, Mahindra has upgraded the XUV 7XO’s suspension system, debuting its new “Davinci” damping technology. According to the Mumbai-based automaker, the SUV thus boasts “superlative ride and handling” characteristics.

Interestingly, the XUV 7XO simply inherits the XUV700’s engines, which means it’s again available in India with either a turbocharged 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine (149 kW/380 Nm) or a 2.2-litre, 4-cylinder turbodiesel motor (136 kW and 420 Nm in 6-speed manual guise, with peak torque rising to 450 Nm in 6-speed automatic form). Most derivatives in that market are front driven, though the oil-burner is available in all-wheel-drive flavour, too.

Updated Mahindra XUV 700 revealed: meet the XUV 7XO

Introduced to the South African market in 2022, Mahindra has handed the XUV 700 a mid-cycle update, including a name change. Meet the XUV 7XO.

Mahindra has whipped the wraps off the facelifted XUV 700, with the updated model gaining not only exterior and interior updates, but also a new name – XUV 7XO. The XUV 7XO adopts a revised front grille, replete with “jewel-like” talon accents, redesigned headlamp clusters, and a refreshed bumper. Several wheel options, ranging from 17 to 19 inches in size, are available.

Stepping inside, a panoramic display layout comprising three 12.3-inch screens – for instrumentation, infotainment, and the front passenger, respectively – takes pride of place on the facia. The infotainment setup incorporates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto screen mirroring. Depending on the trim grade, the package further includes a 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, front and rear wireless smartphone charging bays, dual-zone climate control, ventilated fore and aft seats, ambient lighting, a 540-degree camera array, and a panoramic sunroof. A newly designed, two-spoke multifunction steering wheel is also present. The suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) include lane-keep assist and automatic emergency braking, to name but a few.
