Watch Video: Mahindra XUV700's ADAS Prevents Collision on Highway
A recent video shared on Reddit showcases the real-life utility of Mahindra XUV700’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), as it prevented a potential collision on a busy highway.
Captured from a dashcam inside the XUV700, the footage depicts a close call scenario where the automatic emergency braking feature averts a disaster.

The clip unfolds with the XUV700 cruising at a normal speed on the highway, with a small goods truck visible on the left and a Hyundai Santro car ahead. Suddenly, the XUV700 comes dangerously close to the Santro, prompting an emergency braking maneuver. It becomes apparent that the Santro also applied hard braking to avoid collision, but the real culprit is revealed to be a Hyundai Grand i10 Nios further ahead.
The Grand i10 Nios driver, intending to take a left exit but missing it, abruptly halts in the middle of the highway, posing a significant risk of causing a pileup. The situation is perilous, given the congested traffic on the highway, and a potential disaster is narrowly averted thanks to the XUV700’s ADAS intervention.
This incident, reported from the NICE expressway in Karnataka, underscores the importance of ADAS features in modern vehicles, particularly in preventing accidents caused by human error or reckless driving. The Mahindra XUV700 stands out as one of the pioneers in offering a comprehensive suite of ADAS features in India, including adaptive cruise control, high beam assist, traffic sign recognition, and automatic emergency braking, among others.
Notably, the XUV700 employs a sophisticated Radar and Camera-based ADAS system, ensuring optimal performance even in challenging conditions like fog. A previous video shared online showcased the XUV700 navigating dense fog with the assistance of ADAS, enabling the driver to maintain higher speeds safely.
As the automotive industry embraces advanced safety technologies, incidents like these serve as a reminder of the lifesaving potential of ADAS features, making roads safer for all motorists.
