The teaser video of the Mahindra XUV700 smart door handles have been released by the company on its social media channels. We can see in the footage how the door handle sits flush with the body of the car and extends out at an angle when required. It is indeed an interesting feature and should be appreciated by potential buyers. Smart door handles are usually found in much more expensive and luxury cars. By providing them with the upcoming XUV700, Mahindra might just change the game in the segment.
