To make it more evident, there are ‘Police’ logos on the side and front of the SUV. The roof has been outfitted with blue and red flashing lights. Furthermore, for police use, the SUV can be customised with a variety of extra features and technology, such as radio communication devices, weapon holsters, and so on. The car offers a lot of capacity and is available in 5-seat and 7-seat variants, which makes it more suitable for cop use. The Mahindra XUV700 is available with two engines: a 2.0L turbo-petrol and a 2.2L turbo-diesel. The former has a maximum torque of 380 Nm and a peak output of 200 PS.
