Go bold with the all-new Mahindra XUV700 Black Edition

Among new medium-size seven-seat family SUVs, none offers the degree of technology, safety and luxury appointments at such an attractive price as the Mahindra XUV700. Now with the arrival of the new XUV700 Black Edition, there’s a more exclusive, premium and inherently practical XUV700 to choose from. Here are five reasons why the new Black Edition is worthy of consideration for your next family SUV.

The Black Edition’s new black interior trim not only serves as a new, unique colourway but is a more practical space to clean for those with young families. The materials used across the seven-seat configuration and dash are all black instead of the white treatment in AX7 and AX7L. While the XUV700 AX7 and XUV700 AX7L’s white leatherette upholstery offers a bright and luxurious interior appearance, this more practical family-friendly all-black leatherette interior is the result of Mahindra responding to customer feedback.

The XUV700 Black Edition is not just about the unique new black interior colour scheme; it is also treated to a special new Napoli Black exterior colour that is only offered specifically with the Black Edition. There are also exterior additions to enhance the glossy black paint; the Black Edition’s special grille and side trims, both blacked out where other XUV700s feature satin chrome highlights. A finishing touch to the mono exterior treatment is the black-painted 18-inch alloy wheels, exclusive to the Black Edition.

The XUV700 Black Edition offers additional tech and comfort features unique to this model. This extends to ventilated front seats with active cooling, taking the sting out of an Australian hot summer’s day and the rear view mirrors’ position is linked to the driver’s seat memory position, adding to convenience and personalisation when there’s more than one driver in the family. There’s the latest in-vehicle multimedia and instrument displays offered on every XUV700 too, with the latest Mahindra Adrenox multimedia system employing large, easy-to-read and comprehensive dual 10.25-inch digital displays.

Another element of the new Black Edition is not missing out on any of the features standard on every XUV700, such as automatic LED headlights with cornering lights, arrow-shaped LED tail-lights and a large panoramic Skyroof, which is a generous 870mm wide and 1360mm long. This glass roof extends right back to the second row of seats, bringing in abundant natural light to add an airy feel to the interior.

The Black Edition also includes the long list of luxury features offered on other XUV700s, such as a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift lever, six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with memory, fog lights, rain-sensing wipers, keyless start, dual-zone climate control, rear wiper and demister, power windows with one-touch function, power-folding side mirrors and Mahindra’s Intelli Command Control infotainment selector.

The Black Edition also enjoys all key features available on the upper-spec XUV700 AX7L, such as wireless phone charging, a 12-speaker 3D Sony sound system, flush electric door handles and vanity mirror illumination.

Another Black Edition advantage shared across the portfolio is a high level of safety equipment. The XUV700 has all the latest active and passive safety systems expected of a premium SUV.

The comprehensive list of Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) across all XUV700s includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition.

The Black Edition has the added benefit of Smart Pilot Assist, which is a clever adaptive cruise control that employs a virtual smart pilot to take charge of steering, acceleration and braking within a lane. There are also seven airbags, including driver and passenger front airbags, side curtain across all three rows, side airbags and a driver knee airbag. The Black Edition also has automatic headlights with High Beam Assist, which automatically switches between low and high beam, while the standard tyre pressure monitoring system keeps a check on tyre pressures, for additional peace of mind on the go.

Priced from $43,990 drive away, the XUV700 Black Edition provides a bold new look and enhanced luxury features for a very attractive price.

The XUV700 Black Edition is the result of a million-plus kilometres of rigorous development, including thorough testing in Australian conditions and at Mahindra’s dedicated 454-acre SUV proving ground in India.

All models come with one of the best warranty provisions in the market, that is seven years/150,000 kms warranty and seven years Roadside Assistance. Customers also benefit from five-year Capped Price Service program.

There is no shortage of Mahindra dealers to go see the new XUV700 Back Edition, with a network of more than 75 locations across Australia, reflecting the brand’s growing presence and commitment to Australian customers. Mahindra, which has been established in the Australian market for more than 15 years, continues to grow its footprint here among an increasing number of loyal customers.
