A special edition of the Mahindra XUV500 has been launched. Based on the W10 variant, it is called the Sportz and has been priced at Rs 16.52 lakh for the MT model and Rs 17.55 lakh for the AT variant. The changes are fully cosmetic and a majority of them are on the outside of the car.
The Sportz edition gets decals on the hood, red inserts on the fog lamps and ORVMS, red roof rails, Sportz stickers on the side and rear, red door handles and red brake callipers. Also included in the package is special badging on the pillars, dashboard and the key. Powering this Sportz Edition is the 2.2-litre four-cylinder diesel engine producing 140bhp/330Nm of torque. This version is available both with the six-speed manual and six-speed AT.
Since this is the top-of-the-line W10 variant, it gets climate control, touchscreen infotainment system, leather seats, and electric adjustment for the driver’s seat, dual airbags and ABS with EBD. The AT variant also gets a stability programme. The XUV500 competes with the likes of the Tata Hexa and the Toyota Innova in the D-segment of the Indian car market.
