Cricket Legend Matthew Hayden's Daughter Drives Home A Mahindra XUV700
In the world of cricket and automobiles, connections run deeper than one might initially imagine. Former Australian cricket star Matthew Hayden has long established his role beyond the pitch as the brand ambassador for Indian automaker Mahindra in Australia.
His affiliation with the brand recently took a new turn as his daughter, Grace Hayden, became the proud owner of the latest Mahindra XUV700 SUV, a fact that has garnered attention following a video release by Mahindra Australia on their official YouTube channel.

Grace Hayden's New Ride
The video captures a jubilant Grace Hayden at a Mahindra dealership located in the bustling city of Brisbane. Known for her social media presence and her work as a TV presenter with Star Sports India, Grace's excitement is palpable as she prepares to take delivery of the Mahindra XUV700.
Her connection to the SUV is not just through her father's ambassadorial position but also due to a visit to India where she explored Mahindra's manufacturing plant and experienced the XUV700 firsthand at Mahindra's SUV testing grounds in Tamil Nadu.
Loaded with a myriad of features, the vehicle boasts leatherette upholstery, twin digital displays, dual-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, rear AC vents, a multi-function steering wheel, electrically adjustable seats with memory function, ambient lighting, and a high-quality Sony speaker system.
Safety & Performance Features
When it comes to safety and convenience, the XUV700 doesn't fall short. It comes equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, and Automatic Emergency Braking. These functions are seamlessly integrated through radars, sensors, and cameras enveloping the vehicle.
Under the hood, the XUV700 offers a choice between a 2.0-litre mStallion turbocharged petrol engine and a 2.2-litre turbocharged diesel engine, both available in manual and automatic transmissions. For those seeking additional traction, the top-end diesel variant presents an all-wheel-drive option.
A Family Affair With Mahindra
Matthew Hayden's association with Mahindra extends beyond mere endorsement. He is a user and advocate of the brand's vehicles. He recently acquired the new Mahindra Scorpio N 4×4 variant, planning to embark on various adventure trips.
This affinity for Mahindra SUVs appears to be a family affair, with Grace Hayden now joining in with her XUV700, draped in a stunning Midnight Black shade—a lustrous, deep blue with metallic flakes.
What DriveSpark Thinks...
The bond between the Hayden family and Mahindra strengthens as they continue to champion the Indian automaker's presence in Australia. Grace Hayden's acquisition of the XUV700 not only highlights the vehicle's allure but also reinforces the global appeal of Mahindra's robust and feature-rich SUV lineup.
As the brand continues to expand its international footprint, it finds ambassadors in both revered athletes and the next generation of influential personalities, steering the narrative of Indian automotive excellence across the globe.
