Mahindra & Mahindra has shed light on its latest suspension technology called the DaVinci suspension system, which is being offered on the new Mahindra XUV 7XO.
In a recently shared video, Mahindra’s engineering head R. Velusamy explains how this new setup works and why it has been developed specifically to handle Indian road conditions better.
The DaVinci suspension is designed to deliver a smoother ride without compromising on vehicle stability, something that is often difficult to achieve with conventional suspension systems.
What Is DaVinci Suspension and How Does It Work?
In simple terms, the DaVinci system is a mechanically advanced damper setup that adjusts its response based on how the suspension moves. Unlike regular dampers that behave the same way in most situations, this system reacts differently depending on road conditions.
At low suspension movement speeds, such as small bumps or uneven city roads, the suspension remains soft, ensuring better comfort for passengers. When the suspension encounters larger impacts or rough surfaces, the damping becomes firmer, helping the vehicle stay stable and controlled.
Better Comfort Without Electronics
One of the biggest advantages of the DaVinci suspension is that it delivers adaptive behaviour without using electronic components. Instead of sensors and software, the system relies on a specially designed internal valve structure inside the damper to change damping force automatically.
This allows Mahindra to offer a more advanced ride experience without increasing complexity or costs associated with active suspension systems.
Improved Stability on Indian Roads
Indian roads vary widely from broken city stretches to high-speed highways—and this is where the DaVinci suspension makes a noticeable difference. It helps absorb small imperfections while maintaining strong body control during sudden bumps, potholes, or high-speed driving.
As a result, the XUV 7XO feels more planted at highway speeds and more comfortable during daily city use.
An Upgrade Over Previous Suspension Technology
Mahindra earlier used frequency-dependent dampers in some of its vehicles. While effective, those systems still involved compromises between comfort and handling. The DaVinci suspension offers a wider operating range, allowing engineers to fine-tune ride quality and stability more precisely.

What This Means for Future Mahindra Cars
The XUV 7XO is the first Mahindra vehicle to feature the DaVinci suspension, but the company has indicated that this technology could be introduced in more models in the future. The new system reflects Mahindra’s growing focus on in-house engineering and real-world driving comfort.
With this development, Mahindra aims to raise ride quality standards in its upcoming vehicles without relying on expensive electronic systems.
