It is believed that the XUV700 prototypes are running 180 BHP, 190 BHP and 210 BHP diesel engines.

The upcoming Mahindra XUV700 is expected to get petrol and diesel engine options spread across 11 variants. It has now been rumoured that Mahindra is currently testing three variants of the diesel engine.

It is believed that the XUV700 prototypes are running 180 BHP, 190 BHP and 210 BHP diesel engines. However, the production version is expected to get the 180 BHP version.

The 210 BHP version is said to have a peak torque rating of 450 Nm. It could be introduced later down the line or on the XUV900 coupe.

The XUV700 will compete in the 7-seater SUV segment. It will go up against the MG Hector Plus, Tata Safari and the Hyundai Alcazar. The SUV will get manual and automatic transmission options along with the choice of all-wheel drive.
