Mahindra XUV700 to get Apple CarPlay from September 5

The XUV700 already offers Android Auto and Alexa AI connectivity.

Mahindra has announced that Apple CarPlay will be available in the XUV700 from September 5, 2022.

Apple CarPlay connectivity feature has been missing from the XUV700 since it was launched in October 2021. It is said that the delay has been caused due to licensing issues.

According to Mahindra, owners can get the feature activated by visiting their nearest authorised service centre. The update will also enable features like enhanced Siri support and navigation rendering on the digital instrument cluster, among others.

The XUV700 already offers Android Auto and Alexa AI connectivity. The SUV comes with two engine options: 2.0-litre mStallion turbo-petrol producing 197 BHP and 380 Nm and a 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine that makes 182 BHP and 420 Nm (MT) / 450 Nm (AT). Both engines come with a choice of a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive will also be available as an option.
