Exterior design
Front
Following the introduction of the car, the vlogger then starts the in-depth walkaround. She first starts at the exterior of this car. At the front, this variant comes with the same all-LED headlight setup.
It also gets the same LED DRLs and LED fog lights as well. The grille is finished in gloss black with brushed silver elements. From the front, it looks exactly like the top-spec AX7L variant.
Side profile
After showing the front end, the vlogger then talks about the side profile. The first thing that she shows are the alloy wheels. This variant comes with 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels. The top-spec variants come with 18-inch machined alloy wheels.
She also mentions that it gets flush-type door handles and electronically operated ORVMs. Sadly, they do not fold automatically. Next up, she adds that the company offers the AX5 Select variant with disc brakes on all four corners.
Rear
Following the side profile, the vlogger then shows the rear end of this car. It continues to get the same rear end design with a shark fin antenna, rear spoiler, and rear window wiper, washer, and defogger. It also gets LED taillights. However, the reverse light is still a halogen bulb.
Apart from this, she mentions that it gets a reverse parking camera and two parking sensors. She adds that a car of this size should come equipped with at least four parking sensors. Overall, the car from the outside does not look any different from the more expensive AX5 trim.
Interior
After this, she moves to the interior of the car. The new Mahindra XUV700 AX5 Select variant comes with the same dashboard layout. Its main highlights are the twin connected 10.25-inch screens. The one on the left is for the infotainment system and the right one is the digital instrument gauge cluster.
Next up, she adds that this variant gets a manual air conditioning system. It also misses out on a wireless charger and push-button start. Another main highlight of this variant is that it gets a panoramic sunroof, which Mahindra calls the Skyroof. Lastly, she shows the newly added third row of seats to the AX5 variant.
