Mahindra XUV 500 W8 – A giant leap

By Vikrant Singh03 Oct 2011

It is without doubt Mahindra’s best, most impressive home-grown product yet. And going by the reactions we have gotten so far, it is probably the most awaited as well. We have had Innova and Safari owners and even people in Superbs hailing us down and getting a complete low-down on the new SUV. And rightly so, because for less than Rs 12 lakh, the stuff the XUV 500 (read as the five O O), packs in, it makes it a huge value for money (VFM) proposition. But is there more to it than just VFM, we drove it to find out.
