A special edition Mahindra XUV500 was recently showcased at the Automobile Barcelona (earlier known as Barcelona International Motor Show) in Spain. The carmaker had a strong showing at the recently concluded motor show, which also included the new-gen Mahindra Scorpio Pickup, a left-hand drive KUV100, and the XUV500 Aero Coupe Concept. Revealed in a new dual-tone shade of Sunset Orange and Black, the special edition Mahindra XUV500 SUV on display had nice cosmetic touches which included blacked out body-pillars, roof rails, blacked out roof and blacked out wing mirrors as well. The alloy wheels on the XUV500 were done in matte black as well and sported a different design than the ones seen on the India-spec Mahindra XUV500 SUV.

The units were snapped onto the headrests of the front seats. And of course, the steering wheel sat on the left side of the SUV. The Mahindra SUV on display was a top-of-the-line W10 variant. The engine on the XUV500 was the 2.2-litre mHawk unit which is turbocharged and uses diesel. The engine makes 138 bhp and 330 Nm of max torque. The gearbox was a 6-speed manual unit.

Interestingly, not long ago, the company had launched a similar version of the KUV100, which had a dual-tone colour for the exterior and some cosmetic changes. So there might be just a hint of possibility that Mahindra India considers bringing a special edition variant of the XUV500 to India.
