Mahindra launched it’s XUV500 facelift at prices starting from Rs 12.32 lakh for the diesel variant and Rs 15.43 lakh for the petrol variant (all prices, ex-showroom, Mumbai). The company’s flagship SUV will be available in five diesel variants – W5, W7, W9, and W11 (that also comes with an options pack) – and a petrol variant.The XUV500 has not only been upgraded on the outside but has also been updated in terms of the interiors and the engine.
The new Mahindra XUV500 gets a completely redesigned front, comprising a new wider grille with chrome inserts, new headlamps with LED daytime running lights and fog lamps with chrome bezel. The changes at the rear include a new tailgate with spit tail-lamps and a new spoiler. The SUV also gets chrome cladding on the door sill, dual colour ski-racks and sportier 18-inch diamond-cut alloys
Coming to the interiors, the car gets tan-coloured seats with quilted stitching, complemented by a black dashboard that now gets soft-touch elements and brushed aluminium inserts on the centre console, gear knob and steering wheel.
The facelift also gets upgraded in power and torque department, with the engine now recalibrated to produce 15hp and 30Nm more. The 2.2-litre mHawk engine now gives 155hp and 360Nm of torque and is mated to a six-speed manual transmission. A six-speed automatic transmission and an AWD system are also on offer. The ARAI-rated fuel efficiency of the diesel powertrain is 15.4kpl.
The car will also be offered with a petrol engine with a six-speed automatic transmission. The petrol engine gives 140hp and 320Nm of torque. The facelift also is equipped with 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels on the top-end variant as an optional extra, while the lower variants get 17-inch wheels.
The Mahindra XUV500 will compete against the likes of Hyundai Creta, Tata Hexa and the Jeep Compass in the Indian market. The company will also be introducing a Rexton-based SUV with Mahindra badging later this year, which, due to its higher pricing, will replace the XUV500 as the flagship SUV in Mahindra’s line-up.
