Mahindra XUV700 Sports Edition: What it’ll look like

Mahindra XUV700 created a lot of hype around it before even launching. Still, only the prices of some five-seater variants are out and already a lot of people are interested in the new SUV. At first, the SUV’s spy shots were leaked and people did not like its design but when Mahindra revealed the production-spec XUV 700, the design was accepted and loved by everyone. Some people have made renders to make the XUV 700 look sportier. Here, is one done by Zephyr Designz and the pictures are posted on his Instagram page.

The artist has rendered the exterior of the SUV in various angles. The renders do look really nice and make the XUV 700 look a lot more aggressive. It is important to note that this is just an imagination of an artist and Mahindra has not announced a Sport Edition of the XUV 700.

The SUV has been lowered which gives it a meaner stance. It is now using 7 twin-spoke alloy wheels that look like are made up of carbon fibre and are larger than the stock alloy wheels. So, it should help pin saving weight. The different alloy wheels are wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero tyres.

The front headlamps, C-shape LED Daytime Running Lamps and the grille are the same as the regular XUV 700 but the bumper is different. It is sleeker and has a larger air dam to feed more air to the intercooler. The fog lamps are now positioned vertically and are three individual units. There is also a lip spoiler installed in front of the bumper.

At the side, there are side skirts and the rear wheel arch has been flared for a more aggressive look. At the rear, there are a lot of cosmetic upgrades. It is still using the arrow type LED tail lamps but now they are connected by a light bar. There is also a new bumper that has a diffuser and twin exhaust tips. The rear spoiler is also now more pronounced.
