After keeping many car enthusiasts curious, Mahindra & Mahindra has announced the addition of the newest member to their family – XUV700.

As a successor of the XUV500, the new mid-size SUV the new mid-size SUV looks great from all angles. It carries the legacy of the XUV500’s design-forward with similar wheel arches, but consists of a large grille, LED headlights, and big C-shaped Daytime running lamp (DRLs) among others. The car features the new “Twin Peaks" logo of Mahindra & Mahindra and comes with independent suspension on all ends. Which makes it a great fit for rally racing and on that note Zephyr Designz came up with a digital rendition of a rally-spec iteration of the XUV700.

Going by the visuals, the most crucial of all mods is the suspension update. The artist has managed to increase the height of the new SUV by using a rally-spec suspension set-up, which rides on the set of chunkier rubber shod around deep-dish alloy wheels.
Changes on the front include a redesigned grille and a Cyan colour scheme for the LED DRLs. Additionally, the bumper gets replaced with an off-road-spec unit which also houses a winch feature and a couple of auxiliary lamps. The hood gets an air scoop as well, while another set of auxiliary lamps sit on the roof, along with a top box. On the rear, the changes include a redesigned tail lamps with a light bar connecting both. However, the distinctions end here as the digital renditions offer limited visibility, but the XUV700s digital transition overall looks purposeful.
