Watch: 2024 Mahindra XUV700 Captain Seats Reviewed In Detail

We have spent some time with the recently introduced 6-seater variant of the updated XUV700 and here is what these captain seats feel like

At the start of 2024, the Mahindra XUV700 got a model year update: new colour options, a couple of new features and most importantly, a 6-seater configuration with captain seats for the second row for specific variants. We recently tested the same 6-seater variant of the Mahindra SUV, and here are our thoughts about its second row in this detailed review:

Our Impressions

Our video host, Ujjawall, tested the 2024 XUV700 and spent some time checking the newly added captain seats. These seats are offered with the 6-seater AX7 and AX7 L variants, and are even more comfortable than the front row seats. 

Due to the height of the car, it might be difficult for some passengers to get in, but there is ample amount of headroom and knee room, and the underthigh support is good as well. Here, due to the wider base, big people can also sit comfortably, and the option of boss mode (manual adjustment) also allows you to move the front passenger seat ahead and enjoy more legroom with a chauffeur-driven experience.

But you can’t get to the third row directly from the second row, unlike some other 6-seater offerings. If you want to sit in the last row of the XUV700, you’ll have to tumble-fold the second row seat, and then get to the third row from the outside, as there is not enough space between the captain seats. 

XUV700 Engine Options

Mahindra offers the XUV700 with both petrol and diesel engine options. It gets a 2-litre turbo-petrol engine (200 PS/380 Nm) and a 2.2-litre diesel engine which is available in two stages of tune (156 PS/360 Nm) and (185 PS/Up to 450 Nm). Both these engines get the option of a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission, and the top-spec diesel automatic variants are also available with the choice of an all-wheel-drive setup.

XUV700 Features & Safety

The 2024 XUV700 comes with dual 10.25-inch screens (touchscreen infotainment and digital driver’s display), wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, ventilated front seats, wireless phone charger, 12-speaker sound system, dual-zone climate control, 6-way powered driver seat with memory function, and memory function for the ORVMs.
