In the last few years, Indian brands like Mahindra and Tata have gained a lot of popularity. They are working on interesting models and are coming up with feature-loaded cars at a competitive price tag. The Mahindra XUV700 is one such SUV. Launched back in 2021, the SUV has been well received among SUV buyers in India. Famous tech YouTuber Geeky Ranjit is one of the recent buyers. He, in fact, replaced his BMW sedan with an XUV700.
New addition in the family bought the @Mahindra_Auto XUV 700 (Petrol) as we needed a bigger car, this will replace my BMW.
The Nexon EV Max will be still used as my primary daily car in the city.

The tech YouTuber posted images of his brand new XUV700 on Twitter, now known as X. Ranjit bought the top-end AX7 L variant of the XUV700, which comes with all the bells and whistles. This is not his first premium car. Before buying the XUV700, he owned a BMW 3-Series (330i MSport) sedan.
The sedan was finished in a beautiful shade of blue, and there are several videos of it available online. The YouTuber sold the 3-Series and decided to buy a Mahindra XUV700. He explains the reason behind this decision in the comment section under the post.
He wrote that the area where he lives does not have great roads, and driving through such broken roads became a problem for him. He had to be extremely careful not to scrape the underbelly. Another reason was practicality. He admitted that getting in and out of the sedan had started to become challenging.
He mentioned that as he is getting older, he prefers an upright seating position, which the BMW does not offer. He also wanted a spacious car for his family. The slouched seating position in his BMW used to give him backaches. He didn’t go for the diesel version as he does not use the car much.
For daily use and city runs, he has a Tata Nexon EV Max. The YouTuber now has two SUVs, both surprisingly from Indian manufacturers. Most of his followers congratulated him on his new purchase.
Geeky Ranjit has shared images of his XUV700 finished in a Midnight Black shade. It seems that Ranjit really likes the color blue, as his BMW was also finished in a shade of blue. He bought the XUV700 AX7 L petrol automatic variant. The SUV is loaded with features like leatherette upholstery, ventilated seats, auto-dimming IRVMs, electrically adjustable seats with memory function, multi-function steering wheel, all-LED headlamps, dual-function LED DRLs, smart door handles, 18-inch alloy wheels, and more.
The SUV also comes with two 10.25-inch screens on the dashboard. One of them is the touchscreen infotainment system, while the other is the instrument cluster. The SUV also offers a premium-looking cabin, which we feel Ranjit will really appreciate, especially after switching from a BMW.
The SUV comes with a 2.0-liter mStallion turbocharged petrol engine that generates 200 PS and 380 Nm of peak torque. It is available with both manual and automatic transmission options. The diesel version uses a 2.2-liter mHawk turbocharged engine.
Mahindra recently announced that it has achieved a 2 lakh sales milestone. Mahindra managed to achieve this feat within 33 months of the launch of this SUV. The SUV has also scored a 5-star rating in the Global NCAP crash test.
