2023 Mahindra XUV700 review: A cut-price alternative to Nissan X-Trail and Mitsubishi Outlander SUVs
Рет қаралды 279,964
Күн бұрынThe 2023 Mahindra XUV700 mid-size SUV is nearly here, and it's shaping up as the model that should the Indian brand on the map in Australia, where it's still relatively unknown.
But with the Nissan X-Trail and Mitsubishi Outlander firmly in its sights, the new XUV700 seven-seater is well-positioned to make a splash, especially with cheaper pricing - but not at the cost of a long features list.
In this expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Byron Mathioudakis travels to India to sample the XUV700 on its home turf, to find out if it will be a surprisingly good option for family buyers on a budget.
