As seen in the images here, the XUV700 test mule gets captain seats for the second row, unlike a bench seat that is offered with the model currently on sale. The six-seat version could arrive with a few feature enhancements in tow, such as ventilated seats for the first and second row, an auto-dimming IRVM, and a powered tailgate.
