Second Generation XUV500 Spotted Testing Once Again In India: Here Are The Details

However, according to the latest report by TeamBHP, once again the second generation Mahindra XUV500 has been spotted testing on the India roads. This time around we can partially see the car's production-spec tail lamp clusters. Also, the SUV is seen running on multi-spoke alloy wheels, indicating that this might be a top-end variant.

Though the vehicle is under heavy wraps, the overall dimensions and silhouette of the SUV can be recognised easily as a Mahindra. However, the SUV is running steel wheels, which could indicate that this is a lower variant.

The second-generation Mahindra XUV500 will come with an all-new monocoque platform and will also be loaded with a host of updates and added features, along with significant changes to its design and styling. The SUV is expected to get LED headlights with LED DRLs and LED fogs and a new design for the taillights.

On the inside, the SUV is likely to get a large horizontal touchscreen infotainment system. a large MID screen, automatic climate control with rear AC vents, flat-bottom steering wheel, cruise control out of many.

Mechanically, the upcoming Mahindra XUV500 is expected to feature a brand new 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine. The new unit is expected to be more powerful than the current 2.2-litre unit, which it will replace. Mahindra is also likely to introduce a brand-new 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine on the all-new XUV500 that will produce 187bhp of power and 380Nm of peak torque. Both engines will come mated to manual and automatic transmission options and the top-end trims will also come with an AWD (All-Wheel Drive) system.
