As
a part of the #SaferCarsForIndia campaign, it has achieved an adult score of
16.03 out of 17.00. It has also secured a child safety score of 41.66 out of
49.00, the highest among all the vehicles in India tested by Global NCAP so
far. The official Global NCAP test for the Mahindra XUV700 was conducted in
Germany in October 2021.
While
XUV700 is known for its performance and capability, it is now acknowledged as
India’s safest vehicle on road based on the scores given by Global NCAP.
Velusamy
R, Chief of Global Product Development, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. said,
“When we were developing the XUV700, we were confident that the XUV700 will
achieve 5-star safety rating based on the internal tests done on the vehicle.
With XUV700, Mahindra is redefining the SUV segment not just in performance and
features but also in terms of safety. Our mission is to bring safer vehicles on
Indian roads and to that end, we are building cars with maximum structural
integrity loaded with tech-enabled features for maximum safety, performance and
efficiency. In addition to the rating, it is heartening to be recognized by Global
NCAP for being the first Indian made and owned brand to offer Autonomous
Emergency Braking (AEB) as a safety option, part of ADAS.”
Alejandro
Furas, Secretary General of Global NCAP said, “Mahindra has achieved a major
milestone with this top score for adult protection and by becoming the first
Indian made and owned brand to offer Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) as a
safety option. Making this life saving technology available is an important
step in encouraging the widespread fitment of crash avoidance technologies.
Mahindra is one of the leading manufacturers in India, committed to improving
their vehicles in response to Global NCAP’s call to democratise vehicle
safety.”
Unveiled
in August 2021, the XUV700 comes at a starting price of Rs 12.49 Lakh (Ex-showroom, Pan India).
