Mahindra’s much-awaited SUV, the Mahindra XUV700 is all set to debut on 14th August 2021. Now, the brand officially announces that, Mahindra XUV700 will be India’s first vehicle to offer integrated Alexa AI voice assistant. By simply asking Alexa, XUV700 customers can control vehicle functions including windows and cabin temperature, play music, listen to audiobooks, get directions, check traffic, manage their smart home, find parking etc.
The XUV700 also offers offline functionality for commands including controlling the sunroof and windows, switching to a USB or Bluetooth-connected smartphone, and adjusting the climate setting. Customers can even use the custom Mahindra Skill for Alexa to manage vehicle information such as fuel level or tire pressure, and remotely give commands for locking or unlocking the car door, preparing the cabin temperature, and more. These custom voice-enabled features will be available across all Alexa supported devices such as Echo smart speakers, FireTV, and even the Alexa app on smartphones.
In addition to existing Alexa features customers will also get access to over 30,000 Alexa skills like Shayari and Audible Suno. Furthermore, Mahindra XUV700 has leveraged the Alexa Auto Software Development Kit (SDK), which enhances functionality and also seamlessly deliver new features and capabilities to XUV700 customers through ongoing over-the-air (OTA) updates.
“Our collaboration with a customer-obsessed leader such as Amazon comes from a single-minded focus to make our new XUV700 an SUV like no other. We are confident that this seamless integration will further enhance the ownership experience of our connected and tech-savvy customers of today.”, said Veejay Nakra, CEO, Automotive Division, M&M Ltd.
