The latest photographs of the Mahindra XUV700 accident have been surfacing on the internet. As per the images, this accident occurred in Bengaluru. As we can see, the front fascia of the car has been badly damaged, but it is also visible that the airbags are still closed. Hence, we can hope for the safety of all passengers.
However, it’s not yet confirmed how many occupants were present in the car at that time and what their condition is right now. It seems like the mishap happened just after the delivery because it is always seen that folks get excited after getting the long-awaited thing.
The waiting period for the all-new Mahindra XUV700 is more than a year. Nonetheless, this brand new Mahindra XUV700 has been designated as the safest car in India after acquiring a 5-star safety rating at the Global NCAP car crash test, but still, people need to drive wisely and shouldn’t put themselves and other people’s lives in danger.
