India's family SUV! 2023 Mahindra XUV700 review: New 7-seat rival to Honda CR-V arrives in Australia

Not long after we received our first taste of the 2023 Mahindra XUV700 in its native India, the all-new mid-size SUV has arrived in Australia, with it on a mission to deliver the brand meaningful local sales by being the cheapest seven-seater on the market.

That's right; the XUV700 undercuts the pricing of other seven-seat family SUVs, including the Honda CR-V, Mitsubishi Outlander and Nissan X-Trail, among others. Point being, in a time when cost-of-living pressures are arguably being felt more than ever, the XUV700 is attempting to play the 'value' card as hard as it can.

So, in this expert review, CarsGuide Journalist Thomas White tests the XUV700 on local roads to see if it has more to offer than just sharp pricing and a long list of standard equipment. After all, if family buyers are going to take Mahindra seriously, it has to be a well-rounded package.
