Unlike the top-spec W10 trim, the XUV500 W9 misses out on the Connected Apps feature.
The manual transmission W9 costs about Rs 1.2 lakh less than the top-spec W10 manual with rear-wheel-drive, while the W10 AT is about Rs 1.14 lakh dearer than the W9 AT.
The powertrain is the same 2.2-litre turbo-diesel mill that puts out 140hp and 330Nm of torque. Transmission options include the six-speed manual and six-speed automatic, though the W9 variant does not get all-wheel-drive, which is reserved for the W10 trim.
Mahindra’s XUV500 rivals the likes of the Jeep Compass, Hyundai Creta and Tata Hexa.
The Indian manufacturer is also gearing up to launch a refreshed Scorpio and is working on a 2.2-litre petrol motor for the XUV500.
