The Mahindra XUV700 is available in India with high-beam assist, which lowers the headlamps when oncoming traffic is present, and adaptive cruise control, which adjusts the speed of the vehicle to that of the vehicles in front of it. Other features include driver drowsiness detection, front collision warning, auto emergency braking, lane keep assist, smart pilot assist, and traffic sign recognition so that the four-wheeler does not miss the road signs.
Along with six airbags, ABS, EBD, traction control, crash sensors, electronic stability control, corner stability control, hill-descent control, and ISOFIX child safety mounts, the Tata Safari is equipped with all of these safety features.
A 360-degree view camera and follow-me-home headlamps are also included. Seven airbags, a rearview camera, ABS, electronic brake distribution, a tyre pressure monitor, crash sensors, electronic stability control, follow-me-home headlights and a blindspot monitor are all options for the XUV700.
