As we already know, Anand Mahindra has promised to honour the 2021 Tokyo Olympic gold medallist, Neeraj Chopra, with their new SUV, XUV700, and in order to do this, Mahindra & Mahindra filed two new names in August - ‘Javelin by Mahindra’ and ‘Mahindra Javelin’ for a special edition. Now the wait is over as the XUV700 has recently been spotted in a special avatar which is likely to be one of the aforementioned names.
The first noticeable difference is the gold therapy for the vertical struts and the brand emblem on the front grille. Another noticeable addition is the ochre-coloured soft-touch material on the dashboard, which has the Javelin throw logo, golden stitching, and the '87.58' pattern. The exterior colour selected here is Midnight Blue, which enhances the golden accents. We expect a few additional golden trinkets, as well as badging on the outer body, to add to the attractiveness of the limited edition.
Other than that, any mechanical details are not available yet for this special edition. However, the brand has recently launched the XUV700 and it is offered with two engine options: a 2.0-litre mStallion turbo-petrol engine that produces 200HP and 380 Nm of torque, and a 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine that is capable of churning out 185HP and 420 Nm (MT)/450 Nm (AT) of torque. Both engines are available with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission.
