Mahindra XUV700 2025 Features Breakdown — Interior, Tech & New Updates Explained

If there’s one SUV that consistently blends power with polish, it’s the Mahindra XUV700.After redefining India’s premium SUV market in 2021, the 2025 edition takes things several notches higher — not through drastic redesigns, but through refined technology, upgraded interiors, and smarter feature integration.

With the latest iteration, Mahindra proves it’s listening to customers — addressing small usability issues, enhancing comfort, and polishing the driving experience. Let’s explore the full breakdown of what’s new, what’s improved, and what makes the XUV700 2025 still the feature king of its segment.

1. 2025 Overview — Evolution Over Revolution

The 2025 XUV700 isn’t a full facelift; it’s what you’d call a smart refresh. Mahindra focused on evolving the car where it matters most — cabin quality, user tech, and comfort usability.

Visually, it retains the same confident stance, but subtle tweaks like reworked bumpers, new alloy designs, and updated DRL signatures give it a slightly more premium, dynamic look.

Inside, however, is where the most meaningful upgrades have arrived — making this the most intelligent and comfortable version of the XUV700 yet.

2. Updated Feature Highlights (2025)

Mahindra has refined every layer of the XUV700 experience — from safety tech to in-cabin ergonomics. Here’s an overview of the key additions and retained features in the 2025 edition:

Category	2025 Feature Highlights
Comfort & Convenience	Panoramic Skyroof, dual-zone climate control, ventilated front seats, power-adjustable driver seat with memory, rear AC vents, automatic headlamps & wipers
Infotainment & Tech	Dual 10.25-inch screens (infotainment + cluster), AdrenoX UI, Alexa voice control, wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, 12-speaker Sony 3D surround system
Safety	7 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, 360° camera, ADAS Level 2 (adaptive cruise, lane keep assist, forward collision warning), ISOFIX mounts
Design Upgrades	New LED signature, larger 18-inch alloys, revised front bumper, soft-touch dashboard, new upholstery options
Connectivity	Over-the-air (OTA) updates, vehicle remote start/lock, live location tracking, driving behavior analytics
Drive Tech	Selectable drive modes (Zip, Zap, Zoom), AWD option in top variants, hill-hold & descent control

Each feature feels more polished this year — Mahindra’s continuous software updates have made the AdrenoX infotainment smoother and more responsive, while the comfort and material improvements finally bring it closer to global SUV standards.

3. Cabin & Interior — Premium Without Pretence

One of the biggest areas of improvement in the 2025 XUV700 is interior refinement. The cabin now feels more cohesive, with better fit-finish and enhanced sound insulation, giving it a true luxury-car-like ambience.

Dashboard & Materials

• Redesigned dashboard with softer materials and brushed silver trim.
• Dual 10.25-inch screens seamlessly integrated into a single glass panel — inspired by BMW-style layouts.
• Reworked central tunnel with electronic parking brake (on top trims).
• Ambient lighting running along door panels and dash.

Upholstery & Comfort

• New upholstery options: beige leatherette, black/tan dual-tone, and premium white for AX7L.
• Front seats now ventilated (AX7L).
• Improved under-thigh support and lumbar adjustment on driver’s seat.
• Second row recline adjustment for long-distance comfort.

The cabin now feels premium even in lower trims like the AX5 — Mahindra clearly aimed to make the XUV700 look and feel more upmarket than the price tag suggests.

4. Infotainment & Connectivity — Smarter, Faster, Sharper

The infotainment setup is where the 2025 XUV700 really flexes its advantage over competitors.

AdrenoX 2.0 System

Mahindra’s proprietary AdrenoX system has received a major software overhaul this year. It’s now faster, more fluid, and has better touchscreen calibration.

Key Features:

• Dual 10.25-inch HD screens (infotainment + digital instrument cluster)
• Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
• Alexa and Mahindra AdrenoX voice assistant integration
• 12-speaker Sony 3D surround sound with subwoofer
• Built-in GPS navigation and OTA map updates
• Vehicle health check and maintenance alerts

You can now use Alexa voice commands not only to control car features (like climate or music) but also to operate smart home devices — all from inside the cabin.

This system is fast, intuitive, and feels leagues ahead of older Mahindra systems like in the XUV500 or Scorpio-N.

5. Safety & ADAS — Still the Benchmark

Mahindra continues to lead the segment in safety. The XUV700 remains a 5-star Global NCAP-rated SUV, setting the benchmark for Indian-made vehicles.

The ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) suite has also been calibrated better for Indian roads in 2025. Earlier false alerts and over-sensitivity have been minimized.

Key Safety & ADAS Features

• 7 Airbags (front, side, and curtain)
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
• ABS with EBD
• Front & Rear Parking Sensors
• 360° Surround Camera with Blind View Monitor
• Hill-Hold & Hill-Descent Control
• Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
• Level 2 ADAS Features:
  • Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Lane Keep Assist
  • Traffic Sign Recognition
  • Forward Collision Warning
  • Autonomous Emergency Braking

These features are not just about show — they make a real-world difference in reducing fatigue and improving safety during long highway drives.

The XUV700 is now the only SUV under ₹30 lakh offering such a robust ADAS package, giving it a clear competitive edge.

6. New In-Car Tech — Details That Delight

Beyond the big screens and fancy features, Mahindra has worked on several subtle upgrades that enhance the day-to-day ownership experience.

Tech & Usability Improvements:

• Improved wireless charger with faster output.
• USB Type-C ports for all three rows.
• Enhanced rear camera resolution for clearer parking visibility.
• Key-linked seat and mirror memory function (AX7L).
• Auto-dimming IRVM added to more variants.
• Customizable digital instrument cluster themes.

Even small things like smoother power window motors and a softer steering return mechanism add to the refined experience Mahindra was aiming for.

7. Ride Experience & Drive Modes

The XUV700 continues with its signature Zip, Zap, and Zoom drive modes — but Mahindra has fine-tuned the throttle mapping and steering response in 2025 to make transitions smoother.

Drive Mode Overview

Mode	Use Case	Feel & Response
Zip	City driving	Light steering, early gear shifts, relaxed power delivery
Zap	Balanced mode	Ideal for highway cruising with moderate steering weight
Zoom	Sport mode	Sharper throttle, quicker gear response, and tighter steering
Custom	User-configured	Lets you set throttle, steering, and climate behavior manually

The diesel automatic with AWD feels especially composed in Zoom mode, delivering confident handling even on twisty mountain roads or uneven surfaces.

Mahindra’s suspension tuning remains one of the most impressive aspects of this SUV — plush over potholes, yet composed at triple-digit speeds.
