Mahindra has reintroduced the automatic transmission for the XUV500. It is available in the W7, W9, and W11 (O) variants with prices starting at Rs 14.43 lakh (ex-showroom Pune). The engine in question is Mahindra’s BS6 compliant 2.2-litre diesel which produces 153bhp/360Nm, while the transmission is a six-speed torque converter. The gearbox was previously offered in the XUV500’s BS4 avatars, for both its petrol- and diesel-powered models.
Apart from the gear lever, slight changes to the instrument cluster and the exterior badging, these AT variants are exactly the same as their manual counterparts in terms of design, features, and layout.
The Mahindra XUV500 is a rival to the likes of Tata Harrier AT, Jeep Compass AT, and the Hyundai Tucson AT.
