Mahindra once was at the top of its game in the UV space but lost some ground on the way. But clearly, the company isn't sitting down twiddling its thumbs. We drive the 2018 Mahindra XUV500 to see what has changed.
Mahindra has managed to put in an automatic gearbox in the XUV500 and this is just the beginning of things to come. We check out if the all-new gearbox makes any difference.
There was something about the 'Ilha de Cama' ad by the folks of Diu Tourism that made me wonder, whether it was really as great as it was made out to be. Portugese for 'Isle of Calm', I was curious whether there was actually a place in India which would live up to that name. So I went to check it out in a Mahindra XUV500
Ever since Mahindra first launched the XUV 500 in September 2011; it managed to create an almost cult-like following for the vehicle. It's now received a facelift and we drive it to find out more.
Team Mahindra Adventure's Super XUV500 finished fastest and became the overall champions of Desert Storm 2014. Known to be one of the toughest rallies in India, Desert Storm, boasts of a rally route which spans 3000kms.
The Mahindra XUV500 has been one of the more popular 7-seater SUVs in India, and it will soon be replaced by the all-new XUV700. If you are among those who are planning to get one of the last XUV500s before the SUV is discontinued, then here are some of the key highlights of the SUV that you must know.
Mahindra has confirmed that with the launch of upcoming XUV700 the company will stop production of the XUV500. The new SUV is currently slated to be launched later this year.
The next-generation Mahindra XUV700 will come with a more premium design that will include a plush and upmarket cabin as well, which is evident from these photos.
The SUV is being tested in the Mandi - Manali region of Himachal Pradesh that has been witnessing sub-zero temperatures, dropping to as low as -2.1 degree Celsius and the entire stretch is covered with snow.
