2018 Mahindra XUV500 Top Variant In Great Demand

2018 Mahindra XUV500 Facelift

The SUV’s new top-spec W11 (O) variant is around Rs 4,000 cheaper than the old top-end W10 trim.

Mahindra & Mahindra introduced the XUV500 facelift with a host of feature and mechanical updates in April, 2018. The SUV carline is available in five diesel variants – W5, W7, W9, W11 and W11 Option Pack and one G AT petrol variant. Prices of the vehicle start from Rs 12.32 lakh and go up to Rs 17.88 lakh (all, ex-showroom Delhi).

Despite receiving the comprehensive updates, the 2018 Mahindra XUV500 facelift is less expensive (around Rs 46,000) than the previous model. The SUV’s range-topping W11 (O) variant is around Rs 4,000 cheaper than the old top-spec W10 trim. And this is the main reason why most of the buyers are opting for the top-spec W11 (O) variant.
