Centurion, August 5, 2022: South Africans will have their first opportunity to view Mahindra’s new range of authentic SUVs and two of the most highly anticipated vehicles from the brand at the upcoming India Day Carnival.
On display will be, amongst others, Mahindra’s new Mahindra XUV700 flagship, which will soon champion the group’s line-up in South Africa. Crowned the Indian Car of the Year 2022, the XUV700 amassed over 80 000 pre-orders shortly after being launched. It is expected to find similar favour with South African customers when it is launched later this year.
Aside from showcasing the new Mahindra “Twin Peaks” logo, the XUV700 will introduce Mahindra’s new brand promise to Unleash The Explorer In You and reaffirm the brand’s customer value proposition of offering the authentic and capable products from its range of Authentic SUVs and Authentic Bakkies.
The XUV700 and upcoming Scorpio-N will carry Mahindra’s new generation of authentic and aspirational Mahindra SUVs, Geared to raise the bar and get the driver’s heart racing with its sci-fi technology, spirited performance and world class safety.

The Scorpio-N joins the line-up of authentic SUVs early in the new year. Its arrival is highly anticipated both here and abroad.
