Launch Report: Mahindra XUV5OO W4





The Mahindra XUV 5OO has been the most successful SUV for Mahindra after the Scorpio. It had been developed from scratch and the biggest advantage was the monocoque chassis when compared to the traditional body-on-frame construction. With futuristic looks, loads of gizmos and features and to top it all a reasonable and value-for-money price tag meant that the XUV 5OO was an instant success. And over a period of time Mahindra have also ironed out the issues based on customer feedback. Now all the XUV5OO needed was a most aggressive starting price, so Mahindra have finally launched the much awaited base W4 variant of their SUV, the XUV 5OO. With a starting price of 10.83 lakhs(ex-showroom Mumbai). But even though it the lower-end variant it still comes with bells and whistles. It is powered by the same 2.2L mHawk diesel engine producing 140bhp of power and 330Nm of torque. It comes mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox.
  

Some of the important features available in the W4 variant of the XUV 5OO are:

  • All-round disk brakes
  • Dual airbags
  • ABS and EBD
  • Twin HVAC
  • Projector lights with LED’s
  • Tilt adjustable power steering
  • 6 way adjustable driver’s seat
  • Integrated music system with 4 speakers(no infotainment system)
  • Power adjustable ORVM’s


Thus with this aggressive pricing the W4 variant of the XUV 5OO will cater mainly to the sedan buyers who can stretch their budget just a little bit more to own India’s Global SUV. 


Looking forward to your comments.

Keep revving!
