New Mahindra Xylo 2012 Launched

It's all gloss and devices for the new Mahindra Xylo, but what now sets it totally separately from its opposition is the opening of a unique Voice Command Technology that can operate your headlights, wipers, door locks and more with simple voice commands. Priced between Rs 7.37 lakh and Rs 10.25 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), the new Xylo has just turned into a plusher and more practical people's proposition

It’s been parading our city roads and inter-city/state highways for some time now, and for regular long distance commuters with large families or official groups, no Indian MUV has seen more tick marks than the Mahindra Xylo as the vehicle of choice. Three years into its Indian journey, the best selling people’s mover from Mahindra has just been reborn with a more handsome stance and more importantly as a more desirable modern-day multi utility vehicle.

Exterior changes on the face-lifted model are apparent right up front with a spirited new front grille, the nicely curved bonnet and the newly styled headlights, which add instant flair to the new MUV’s forward stance. A closer look reveals sporty air dams, refreshing body decals, a lot more pronounced wheel arches and chrome-tipped body moulding - all tasteful cosmetic touches to a new generation model that will now look prettier when it hits the streets and gets down to doing its business of moving people around in comfort.

Panache would be an over the top term to describe the interiors of this revamped people mover, but certain style and utility elements are definitely worth mentioning. ‘New and style’ are almost complimentary to one another in the advent of new car launches. However, on the new Xylo where comfortable long distance commutes are in sync with the MUV’s distinct character, the integration of genuine leather upholstery, a 2-DIN music system, a two-tone dash, new door trims and a noticeable glossy, wood-finished console now add some further sheen to its interior feel and ambience.

Mahindra XUV 500 Review

Mahindra’s 1st global SUV platform is here. Designed with inputs from customers across the world, it is unmatched in terms of style, performance, technology, safety and comfort – a truly complete driving experience.

Bold lines outline the chiselled, aerodynamic body of the XUV500 with static-bending projector headlamps, LED parking lamps and racing-inspired twin exhaust give the vehicle both a ferocious and sophisticated look, making it a striking presence on road.

Mahindra seems to have decided to grab the attention of the entire nation with its new SUV- XUV 500. With this move, the undoubted king of the SUVs in India achieves the famous five figures.

It was originally code named as W201, and then received the name XUV 500 recently before its launch on 29 Sept, 2011.

The external Look

As far as the looks are anxious, it looks enormous with big front grille that’s dominated by the brand’s logo at the center. It brings in the goodness of luxury segment contenders like SUVs like the Honda CR-V & Hyundai Santa-Fe at a really modest price of under 15lakhs.

The mesh type look behind front grille and in between the front bumper doesn’t give premium or up-market look to the SUV. But, M&M has managed to come up with a really wide and huge SUV.

The fog lights, tail-and-headlights features clear lens for clear and bright view. Its huge wheel gives rugged and macho look that is further enhanced by wider 17-in alloy wheels.

In the interior

If you step inside the 500 XUV, you’ll understand that there’s something extraordinary in place inside it. Seven passengers can be accommodated comfortably in its interior.

The dash, housing a long middle console, grabs the attention of the person entering XUV 500. Central console houses six-in touchscreen color/monochrome display and there are 2 AC vents on central console, and smaller ones on the side.

Comparing XUV500 with Toyota Innova

It is true that Indian patrons have been getting fairly reasonably priced small diesel cars when compared to massive SUVs, but it is also a fact that utility vehicles are having the engagements of true SUV lovers who can easily afford massive wheels.

Taking presentation into consideration, the close rival of XUV500 will be Toyota Innova as it comes with 2KD-FTV diesel turbocharger unit, delivering 102PS and 200Nm.

We can’t expect high fuel economy ratings from both as they are SUVs; the average gas mileage ratings of XUV500 and Innova are 11.5km/l and 10.2km/l respectively.

Talking about Innova, it is very reliable as it comes from the quality-conscious Toyota. If you are going to add an SUV to your auto collection, the new XUV500 is the best choice to entertain your adventurous legs with sporty and speedy drive along with essential safety attributes to make your journey safe.

Pricing

The base MSRP of the XUV500 W6 is Rs 10.8 lakhs, and the price of W8 2WD and W8 4WD is Rs 11.95 lakhs and 12.88 lakhs correspondingly.
