Torture test is a great way to put a vehicle through its paces which is why many car experts do it in Australia

Australian car experts have put the Mahindra XUV700 Black Edition through a hardcore torture test to analyze its behaviour and performance. The XUV700 is gaining popularity in Down Under with its enticing pricing in comparison to its peers. Mahindra is gaining new customers, particularly with its latest breed of modern SUVs which retain its adventurous DNA while offering new-age convenience and connectivity amenities. We have seen this with the XUV700 and Scorpio N. With this limited Black Edition, the Indian auto giant aims to cater to a wider range of audience. Let us check out the details of this torture test.

Mahindra XUV700 Black Edition in Torture Test

The specifics of this event stem from CarSauce on YouTube. The hosts commence their journey at 5:30 AM. They mention that they want to put the Mahindra XUV700 Black Edition to the test by driving for over 1,100 km for close to 14 hours. That is a long journey for any car and enough to highlight any issues a car might face. While a huge chunk of this journey was on smooth highway roads, there was a portion containing rugged muddy track with gravel. In fact, the hosts lost the phone signal there and had no clue where to go. Thankfully, they found a way out to reach the main road after a while. Finally, they made it back to the starting position of this trip at 7 PM.

They were happy to report that the tyres of the SUV performed exceptionally well and took on every section of the road convincingly. Apart from that, the seat comfort was excellent and they didn’t feel any stiffness in the back or legs. The lumbar support is mighty helpful in such situations. Also, the ADAS functions came in extremely handy to assist the driver on those boring highway runs. Finally, they were immensely impressed by the Sony 3D Surround Sound System. All in all, this trip, which was designed to put the Mahindra XUV700 Black Edition through a torture test, ended up highlighting its prowess.

Specs

The Mahindra XUV700 Black Edition carries the same engine as the regular model. This means a 2.0-litre mStallion direct injection turbo petrol engine which generates a healthy 149.2 kW (200 hp) and 380 Nm of peak power and torque. Performing transmission duties is a 6-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels. To ensure that the SUV glides over obstacles on treacherous roads, there is a ground clearance of 196 mm. However, the biggest talking point is its $43,990 AUD (drive-away) price tag. That makes it one of the most attractive 7-seat SUVs in the country.
