What We Think
Mahindra makes some of the toughest SUVs in the country. That is the reason why many local Police forces around the country have the Boleros, Scorpios in their lineup. But for cities, a comfortable vehicle like the XUV700 makes a lot of sense. Moreover, carmakers are getting more premium with their products as tech features are becoming increasingly popular. It is only fair that our Police department have the advantages of these cars and features too.
