What Makes This Different
Dolby Vision delivers vibrant colors and sharp details beyond standard HDR, while Dolby Atmos creates a 3D soundscape placing listeners at the action’s center. Together, they transform the cabin into an immersive entertainment space.
Sony LIV becomes the first OTT platform embedded at the system level in an Indian vehicle—no phone mirroring required. Passengers access movies, original series, and live sports directly through the infotainment system, with Gaana providing Dolby Atmos music streaming.
Building on Mahindra’s Dolby Partnership
The XUV 7XO marks the next chapter in Mahindra’s collaboration with Dolby Laboratories. Previous models like the BE6, XEV 9e, XEV 9S, Thar ROXX, and XUV 3XO already feature Dolby Atmos audio, but the 7XO adds Dolby Vision for the first time in India.
Karan Grover, Senior Director at Dolby, called this “a defining moment for automotive entertainment in India,” transforming cars into immersive entertainment spaces.
Executive Vision
Nalinikanth Gollagunta, CEO of Mahindra’s Automotive Division, emphasized the XUV 7XO represents their vision of future-ready vehicles blending performance, technology, and immersive experiences. He described the cabin experience as “truly transformative.”
Manish Aggarwal of Sony LIV highlighted their ambition to elevate premium storytelling, with Dolby-enabled content bringing creators’ visions to life through breathtaking visuals and deeply immersive sound.
The Road Trip Revolution
For families on long drives, this changes everything. Kids can watch movies in Dolby Vision quality while adults enjoy spatial audio podcasts—all without draining phone batteries or dealing with screen mirroring lag.
