Mahindra XUV 500 To Reopen Bookings From June 8

Mahindra XUV500
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. (M&M), India’s leading SUV manufacturer will open bookings for its cheetah-inspired XUV 500 from 8th June, 2012. With this announcement, the XUV 500 will now be available across India including the existing 19 cities where it had been launched earlier.

The SUV's 9 months production capacity was sold out due to overwhelming response from customers in just 2 rounds of booking. Mahindra has ramped up production capacity of the XUV 500 up to 4000 vehicles per month to cater to the growing demand of the SUV.

In the second phase of bookings, the XUV 500 was made available in 19 cities across India and had received an overwhelming 25000+ booking applications from customers. Out of these booking requests, the names of 7200 winning applicants were selected through an automated process, called the XUV 500 Draw.

The XUV500 had single-handedly outsold all D-segment sedans in March recording a sales figure of 3196 units. A major reason behind the huge success of the XUV is its highly competitive pricing starting at Rs 11.38 lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi).

Mahindra Automotive Division Chief Executive said: “It has been an incredible journey so far for the XUV 500 and we are pleased to take the product national. We have been inundated with requests for re-opening of bookings not just from existing cities but also from cities where the XUV 500 was not available. Now that we have ramped-up our production capacity significantly, we are confident that we will be able to take care of the growing all-India demand for the XUV 500.”

The Mahindra XUV 500 comes with cheetah-inspired styling, refinement like never before and enhanced technology and safety features along with luxurious interiors, making the XUV 500 an apt choice for sedan and SUV buyers. Adding to it, the SUV has received 22 awards so far including the prestigious ‘Car of the Year’, ‘SUV of the year’ and ‘Viewers Choice Car of the Year.

The XUV500 has also been rated the most reputed auto brand in the Reputation Benchmark Study conducted by Bluebytes. The SUV has already notched up prestigious wins in rallies like Desert storm, Desert Dash & Dakshin Dare in the extreme category. The Dakshin Dare victory marked a triumph for the XUV500, becoming the first diesel SUV to win an extreme category in the history of Indian rallying.
