Refreshed Mahindra Xylo Launched

Published: Friday, February 10, 2012, 14:48 [IST]

The new Mahindra Xylo is here. India's leading SUV manufacture has unveiled the latest version of its best selling MPV. The new Xylo carries forward what the old model excelled in. It has the same masculine stance and loads of interior space.

The most notable difference between the two Xylos is the front end. The grille gets a brand new look that appears to be inspired by Ssangyong models. The grille no longer resembles the one seen in the Scorpio. Instead what you get is a mesh that resembles a prison door. The grille can be very polarizing and we expect some people will prefer to have the old grille.

Mahindra has not changed much in the technical specifications of the new Xylo. It will continue to be powered by the 2.5 liter mEagle engine that churns out 112bhp and 260Nm and the 2.5-litre Mdi engine that delivers 95bhp and 220 Nm of torque.

Mahindra has brought five variants of the Xylo to the launch. The top end E9 variant will get the diesel engine from the Scorpio. It will have several safety features such as twin airbags, ABS, cruise control as well as premium features such as steering mounted audio controls, dual air conditioning and voice recognition

Mahindra is yet to announce the pricing of the new Xylo. We will be posting the new Mahindra Xylo's price as as soon as it is announced.
