2015 Mahindra XUV5OO Spotted Camouflaged!

Mahindra XUV500 facelift was spotted recently and is likely to launch around mid this year. According to the spy shots, the SUV is coming with aesthetic upgrades while mechanical changes in terms of automatic transmission are expected to be on cards.

Speaking of the stylistic makeover, looking at the spy shots - major changes in the 2015 Mahindra XUV5OO facelift are concentric to its front fascia. Expect updated headlights featuring static bending technology like the new Scorpio along with a new grille and refreshed bumper. The rear profile is also getting a slight refresh and it rides on new set of alloys, M&M even camouflaged the alloys!. Moreover, seems like interiors are also getting a subtle makeover since Mahindra has put a camouflage on the dashboard. Adding on this context, expect updated infotainment system along with few added blings.  

Mechanically, XUV5OO will be powered by the same 2.2-liter mHawk-140, direct injection variable geometry turbocharged (VGT) diesel. The 2179cc oil burner chucks out 140 bhp @ 3750 rpm and 330 Nm of peak torque @1600-2800 rpm. In the current state of tune, 2.2-liter mHawk-140 delivers 15.1 kmpl - ARAI certified efficiency and is likely to remain same. As of now, the oil burner is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, but it is expected that the facelifted XUV5OO will get a new six-speed automatic option. Mahindra will continue the 2WD and AWD options in the updated SUV.
