Love the #MahindraXUV700 's massive cool glass screen? It's topped by #dragontail tough glass from Asahi and mounted on a magnesium subframe (unit in the center) to stay straight and true. A lot of thermal engineering behind it to make sure it stays cool. #Mahindra

Torsional stiffness of the #MahindraXUV700 is up 80% over the XUV500, thanks to increased spot welds and the use of structural bonding adhesive on the body in white. This is key to dynamics and crash safety #Mahindra @Mahindra_Auto

Its #RoadSafetyWeek , lots of messages everywhere about seatbelt usage appreciated! But kudos @Mahindra_Auto for equipping the #XUV300 with 3 point belts, height adjust headrestraints and belt reminders for all 5 passengers. Hopefully will be standard with everyone. #RoadSafety
