    Mahindra develops XUV700 with a special seat for the differently-abled

    In August, Paralympic Khel Ratna Awardee, Dr. Deepa Malik, requested Tata Motors, MG Motor, and Mahindra to design an SUV with a special seat that would make it easier for differently-abled people to enter/exit the car. Anand Mahindra took the challenge and his team at Mahindra Research Valley has now developed an XUV700 with a special seat for differently-abled people. Here's more about it.

    Take a look at the special seat requested by Malik

    Impressed with this technology.Sincerely hope Automobile world in India can give us this dignity and comfort.. I love to drive big SUVs but getting in and out is a challenge, Give me this seat n I buy your SUV @anandmahindra @TataCompanies @RNTata2000 @MGMotorIn #Tokyo2020 pic.twitter.com/0yFGwvl46V

    The seat can automatically slide and swivel

    Following Malik's request, the team at Mahindra Research Valley has developed an XUV700 with a special seat that can automatically slide and swivel 90 degrees from the door and extend out to help differently-abled people easily ingress and egress the car.

    Malik thanked Anand Mahindra for accommodating her request

    Thank you @anandmahindra for understanding my @TwitterIndia post reaching out for inclusive assistance in vehicles. Just in few weeks here I am at MRV with your research team and happy to see the ongoing work. You are a man of your words. This is #indiaat75 @narendramodi pic.twitter.com/fBIQJ24HTH
