Can call this information as a mix of insider and from source ! I get it that 5 Seat and 7 Seat configuration is bit difficult to digest, as I was expecting the next get XUV5OO based on W601 Project to be a 5 Seater.
Apart from that seating configuration all others are credible information's from vehicle development sources.

Note : There is a chance that Source might have been referring to the old plan of 5 Seat and 7 Seat XUV5OO . Later on W601 project was renamed as as XUV7OO

Indeed an achievement by him and he deserves it. But I would not like him to get a brand new model with niggles. I hope it's made niggle free from day one.

Rajesh Jejurikar is the Executive Director of Mahindra and Mahindra.

And Pratap Bose chips in.

According to the official XUV700 page on Mahindra's website, the launch of the XUV700 is scheduled for the second quarter of FY2022. That is anytime between July and September next year.

Attaching a screenshot for reference -



The last point here clearly states -- "Slated to launch in Q2 FY2022"

But since we have already seen the car and according to carwale.com, the official launch would take place on 14th August. I have no clue regarding the launch, hence asking BHPians for the same. There's a huge difference between 14th August 2021 and July-September 2022.

The current year is the FY2022.

Q2 of FY2022 means July - September 2021.

Oh, I see. I must have read it wrong. Thanks a lot sir.

At the Gadanki Toll enroute to Tirupati, I came across 2 test mules of the XUV700 being spiritedly driven.

Notice how the car's rear body slammed in the 3rd Image. It might have happened under hard acceleration or the suspension could be on the softer side.

Looks like M&M also isn't very sure of when it can effectively launch the XUV700. But these days announcement and launch mean two different things. So Aug 15 may still happen.

"Already the chip shortage has begun to impact M&M's product delivery plans. "We will make delivery announcements about the XUV700 when we have more confidence regarding the semiconductor situation," Jejurikar said. "Right now the situation is very dynamic." What has hit companies like M&M is the resurgence of the pandemic in Asian countries like Malaysia which are semiconductor sourcing hubs. "Malaysia is going through a serious wave of the pandemic and since a lot of semiconductors come from the Asian side, it is affecting supplies," said M&M CEO Anish Shah."

Does it also mean base manual of XUV700 should undercut top model of Safari AT? (As it was used in the same sentence along with Creta)

But then who in his sane mind would say that xuv700 base should undercut creta base and xuv700 top should undercut creta top?

After looking at Pratap Boss’s first special assignment from Mahindra, meanwhile, Tata is thinking if they’ll do some special specced Tata Safari finished in black pun intended!

So an interesting thing that happened this weekend is Mahindra didn't reveal another feature or any new information regarding the XUV. They have been consistently churning out the trailers every weekend. So it's one of two cases. Either they've used all the differentiating features in their trailers or the reveal is truly on 15th August. Or quite simply, it would be they just simply forgot.

Just did a 1 week holiday to Goa

Spotted dozens of xuv700 disguised mules.

What was interesting was that between belgaum and kini toll plaza thee were over a dozen xuv700s in black cloth parked together - display vehicles perhaps?

While driving next to one, proportions looked just fine to me

Also found a parked mule at the kolhapur mcdonalds. Attaching some pics

I think Mahindra is in a catch 22. They are in urgent need to showcase something new in this segment. They may have a winner in their hand.

But the success of Thar taught them a good lesson. That they should be adequately prepared for a good demand. Given the reality of chip shortages, they are stuck between wanting to launch and doubts about fulfilment.

I am positive(now) that this vehicle will succeed. However, chip shortage is a global issue. So the timing of launch/delivery will be very very subjective to the supply chain easing.

If the August 15 reveal is true, then these cars are for media drives I guess.
