Mahindra XUV700 Engine details
As we have mentioned in our previous article, the XUV700 will be offered with two engine options, a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine or a 2.2-litre turbo diesel, but back then we didn’t know about its exact power output. And now from sources we have the information for you that says the 2.0L, 4-cyl turbocharged petrol engine will have 200Hp, which makes it the most powerful version of Mahindra’s ‘mStallion’ 2.0-litre turbo petrol. It first made its debut in the new Thar where it had an output of 150Hp and 300Nm of torque in the manual version.
The new ‘mStallion’ petrol engine from Mahindra that was first showcased at Auto Expo 2020 uses an all-aluminium block and, in this particular engine and 350 bar direct injection. In the XUV700 it will come mated to either a six-speed manual gearbox or an Aisin-sourced six-speed torque converter automatic.
With an output of 200HP, the 2.0L mStallion engine in the XUV700 will be the most powerful petrol engine in the segment, where the recently launched Hyundai Alcazar with a 2.0L naturally aspirated petrol engine makes 159HP and the MG Hector Plus uses a 1.5L turbo petrol that makes 143Hp. While the Tata Safari does not get any petrol engine option.
When it comes to diesel engine, the XUV700 will be powered by an updated Mahindra’s 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine, and will have an output of 185HP. This is also class-leading and makes the XU700 diesel very powerful than the Hyundai Alcazar 1.5L diesel that makes only 115HP and while the Hector Plus and the Safari uses the same Fiat-sourced 170HP 2.0L diesel engine.
