Thoughts On The 2018 Mahindra XUV 500 Variants

Mahindra has finally launched the new 2018 XUV 500 in India with subtle changes to the exterior and interior design. The good news is that all the diesel trims except for the W5 trim get automatic gearbox The mid-spec W7 trim is priced well and gets all the important features.
