Last year, Mahindra brought in the Thar and it became a huge success. Enough to get a waiting period of 1 year. Yes, that's right. Now, Mahindra is gearing up for the next big launch and that is the XUV700. Several spy shots of the same have been spied in the Indian market and we can tell you that it will pack in a whole package. Now, new info on the features list has come up officially that the Mahindra XUV700 will get a high beam assist but what it is really? Let's find out!
Nowadays, every carmaker wants to stand out and mind you, when the first generation of the XUV500 was launched, it was a runaway success. The XUV700 is the more advanced model of the XUV500 that will go on sale soon. A newer platform, design, features and moreover the powerful engine options. With this, even we are in a dilemma that will the XUV700 really target Tata Safari, MG Hector Plus and the recently launched Hyundai Alcazar? We can only share that light once the prices are out!
Coming to the high beam assist that the Mahindra XUV700 packs, well, it is a premium offering that we have seen in high-end cars. What it does is that, once the SUV crosses 80kmph, the additional set of headlights will glow up to further improve the illumination. So newer technologies surely aid the driver without putting in much effort.
