Our take on this /// Verdict

The Mahindra XUV500 Diesel Sportz is a mixed bag when it comes to overall performance and user experience. On the positive side, it boasts a robust 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine, producing 155 bhp and 360 Nm of torque, which provides excellent low-end shove and makes it capable in various driving conditions. The vehicle also features a well-specified interior with amenities like keyless operation, electric tailgate, cruise control, and a touchscreen interface. However, there are several drawbacks, including a gearshift that is not always smooth, particularly in the first gear, and a start-stop system that can be frustrating to use. Additionally, the suspension could be improved to handle Indian road conditions better, and some users have reported issues with body vibrations and noise. Despite these flaws, the XUV500 remains a competent SUV with a good balance of space, features, and price, making it a viable option for those seeking a value-for-money vehicle.

Price

The Mahindra XUV500 Diesel Sportz is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for this variant typically ranges from around Rs. 16 lakh to Rs. 18 lakh, depending on the location and any additional features or accessories. On-road prices, including taxes, registration, and insurance, can range from approximately Rs. 19 lakh to Rs. 22 lakh. This pricing makes the XUV500 an attractive option for buyers looking for a feature-packed SUV without breaking the bank. However, its important to note that prices can vary based on the state and local taxes, so its advisable to check with local dealers for the most accurate pricing.

Latest Updates

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 12:47 PM The Mahindra XUV500 Diesel Sportz is expected to launch in November 2024, priced between Rs 13 lakh and Rs 17 lakh. This new model will be a 5-seater SUV, competing directly with the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. It will feature a 2.2-liter diesel engine and possibly a 2.0-liter turbo-petrol engine, both with manual and automatic transmission options.

Tuesday, 15 October 2024 11:58 PM Mahindra has confirmed that the new XUV500 will borrow engines from the Mahindra Thar, including a 2.2-liter diesel option. This engine is expected to provide enhanced performance and efficiency, making it a strong contender in the mid-size SUV segment. I think this move will help Mahindra tap into the popularity of the Thars powertrains.

Wednesday, 25 September 2024 01:38 PM The upcoming Mahindra XUV500 Diesel Sportz will feature a luxurious interior with all-black upholstery and possibly leather seats. It will also include modern features such as a sunroof, a cool box in the front console, and a high-tech infotainment system with GPS navigation and parking assist. This should make the XUV500 a comfortable and tech-savvy choice.

Monday, 19 August 2024 05:36 AM Mahindra is repositioning the XUV500 to fill a critical gap in their model range, sitting between the XUV300 and XUV700. The new XUV500 will be approximately 4.2-4.3 meters long, placing it squarely in the mid-size SUV segment. I believe this strategic move will help Mahindra capture a larger market share.
