This render that I found online looks so much better(read balanced).

That's also because the Thar is nothing but a blatant copy of the Jeep Wrangler.

Note: No offences, to the owner. I am waiting for my Thar too

Good lord this is ugly but then again, am I surprised. No! Its not like Mahindra is known for their design prowess anyway. You may say that Thar is good looking and I would agree and thats because Mahindra never styled it. Its a photocopy.

Tata Safari is way beyond this, Scarlett Johansson to Rakhi Sawant.

Pratap Bose designed Tata Nexon, a design disaster in itself, particularly the first generation.

I think its due to camera shot angle, looks are polarizing to many. This will look good when seen in real.

The front headlights have that angry look when compared to XUV500's which many people may like it.
Only thing is tail lights have been designed & pushed more in side-profile, less on the actual (tail) side, just like XUV500 facelift tail lamps.

So xuv will be alexa integrated and lot of its interior revealed in this particular teaser. The panaromic sunroof really looks massive and the interiors class.

Exactly my thought when I saw the images. It looks like Mahindra took inspiration from Mobilio and MPVs in general and drew XUV500 lines on top of it to make this ugly looking vehicle. Must go in the Wierd and Whacky thread on our forum for sure.

I've loved the design of XUV500 from the beginning, and this has just ruined that forever. It will definitely have the gizmos and features list like Creta to sell, but I'm not going to consider it in this iteration at all as a potential next vehicle for sure. The new Safari, maybe yes, why not? That's a much better looking vehicle and feature loaded too, at least all that I want in an upgrade a few years down the line.

All the best to the sales team at Mahindra showrooms, trying to convince the general population to buy this ugly duckling when they have comparatively better looking Marazzo, Thar and even Alturas G4 standing next to this! Hope the Scorpio update is better looking than this.

Ok, let's put the side proportions aside as it may be due to a distorted photo or angle.

What in the world is that headlight?

They copied the Renault headlights (Accept it), but did the high school trick -

Size of the tail lamp is big and disproportionate.

I smell a rat in these leaks. This obviously looks like the love child of the Maruti Suzuki XL6 / MG Hector / Škoda Kodiaq descent, with bad design choices galore. But the silhouette of the car in the infotainment screen in the video posted by rahul_kej tells a different story. The window line and roof line look far more balanced in that, and very much in line with the previous white-coloured render. I hope to God that's the case, or all this hype will have been for nothing!

Well, looks fine to me either way. I can live with it, as long as we have AT+AWD. Tail lights might be oversized but they look rather interesting.

At least it looks more car/SUV than Hec(k)tor which is outright gaudy and coming from Cyberpunk 2077.

There, fixed the headlight. In realistic scenario, one can just get the lower half of the DRLs wrapped in body color to make it look "normal".

Nice attempt, but now it looks more like a Xylo

Looking at these pictures, I feel current XUV5OO is much better in design. If this is what Mahindra is going to launch as XUV7OO, then it is off from my probable list. Front seems to be little overdone and rear looks ugly. If they were running out of ideas, they should first shortlist few designs and then put for public voting to finalize.

re: Mahindra XUV700, now launched at 11.99 lakhs

Honestly disappointed. It needs to be one hell of a distortion from a really bad camera phone to make it look like this. The camo test cars gave me an impression that it's going to be something that would blow people away..but not like this. Looks like the Alturas and the Hector had a good romp in the hay and this is the offspring. Pitaji (XUV 500) is shaking it's head in disappointment.

re: Mahindra XUV700, now launched at 11.99 lakhs

Let us all remember when the XUV 5OO was updated, the photos of horizontal rear lamp clusters were an immediate dislike by mostly everyone. But they actually looked alright in flesh, and grew on us. I expect that to happen once again, regardless of how weird these photos appear.
