The updated 2018 XUV500 has been introduced in the market by Mahindra. The refreshed SUV gets styling tweaks both, inside and out, which include a new front grille and bumper, alloy wheel design, roof rails, rear tailgate design and tail-lamps. The SUV also gets LED daytime running lamps as well as a sunroof. On the inside, Mahindra has added soft-touch materials on the dashboard and has introduced tan leather seats with quilted stitching, as well – thus adding to the XUV500’s upmarket feel.
Mahindra has also introduced a more powerful 155hp motor on the diesel XUV500. The SUV now comes with two engine and gearbox options:
- 155hp/360Nm, 2.2-litre diesel mated to a six-speed manual or automatic
- 140hp/320Nm, 2.2-litre petrol mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
