Mahindra Showcases XUV700’s Smart Door Handles

Mahindra is gearing up for the launch of the XUV700 and they’re releasing short teasers of the XUV700’s features every now and then. Mahindra has now revealed the smart door handles of the XUV700. Usually seen in luxury cars, smart door handles sit flush inside the body and pop out when the car is unlocked. They again fold back in when not needed. This gives the car a clean look that is devoid of any protrusions such as door handles. This would be a segment-first feature and surely a unique one. We’ve already seen the presence of the flush door handles on the test mules however it remains to be seen whether it will be standard or available only on the higher variants.
