Mahindra XUV500 Diesel Sportz 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.

Monday, 15 July 2024 04:40 PM The new Mahindra XUV500 Diesel Sportz will likely use an extended version of the XUV300’s underpinnings, which will require significant re-engineering to reduce weight and cost. Mahindra will leverage engineering learnings from the XUV700 to optimize the platform. This could result in a more efficient and competitive vehicle.

Monday, 10 June 2024 05:39 PM Mahindra had initially planned to co-develop the new XUV500 with Ford, using Ford’s B772 platform. However, with the joint venture ending abruptly, Mahindra has had to revisit the underpinnings of the S301 project. This setback has delayed the launch but should ultimately lead to a more optimized vehicle.

Monday, 20 May 2024 02:01 PM The Mahindra XUV500 Diesel Sportz is expected to feature advanced safety features and a modern dashboard layout similar to the XUV700, albeit with a few premium features omitted to keep costs competitive. This balance between features and price will be crucial in attracting buyers.

Thursday, 25 April 2024 11:22 PM Mahindra has announced that the new XUV500 will be launched with a focus on meeting the tighter BS6 phase II emission standards. The 1.5-liter turbo-petrol and 2.2-liter diesel engines will be future-proofed to comply with these regulations. This ensures the vehicle will be environmentally friendly and compliant with upcoming emission norms.

Friday, 15 March 2024 09:34 AM The design of the new Mahindra XUV500 Diesel Sportz will be handled by Mahindra Automotive Design Europe (M.A.D.E), led by Pratap Bose. This suggests that the vehicle will have a sleek and modern design, appealing to the aesthetic preferences of contemporary buyers. I think this will be a significant selling point.

Tuesday, 20 February 2024 05:39 PM Mahindra has confirmed the discontinuation of the old XUV500 model, paving the way for the new generation. The old model had a 7-seater capacity and was known for its spacious cabin and premium features. The new model will transition to a 5-seater layout, targeting a different segment of the market.
