It was an extremely important car when it was launched and Mahindra brought it out with much fanfare in 2011. The XUV500, since then has come a long way and today the company has announced that it has sold 1.5 lakh units of the car.
This number includes the exports of the car. It’s been four years in the market and it has got its fair share of attention amidst growing competition. The XUV was designed entirely in-house at the Mahindra Research Valley (MRV) in Chennai and it was recently that the company brought out a facelift of the SUV.

The XUV500 is manufactured in the company’s Chakan plant and its design has been inspired from the cheetah. This is why you see that the front and rear wheel arches are a bit more muscular but it’s the rear of the car that’s a tad bit disappointing. Under the hood of the XUV500 is a 2,2-litre mHawk engine which churns out 140bhp and that power coupled with the option of an AWD system, helps it tackle any terrain.
