Launched Date : 5th Dec 2017
Petrol XUV500 comes powered by a 2.2-litre engine and is offered only with a six-speed automatic gearbox.
Mahindra has finally launched the petrol variant of the XUV500 in India. However, for now, the SUV is available solely with a six-speed automatic gearbox and comes in a single trim, as we had reported exclusively in August this year. This ‘G AT’ variant has been priced at Rs 15.49 lakh (ex showroom, Delhi).
Design and Features
The new Petrol XUV 500 (G AT) trim comes loaded with all the bells and whistles. The XUV500 G AT gets a seven-inch touch screen infotainment system with Android Auto. The petrol SUV is filled to the brim with features like automatic projector headlamps, rain sensing wipers, key-less entry with push-button start, cruise control, automatic climate control with rear AC as well. The driver seat is 8-way adjustable and with an adjustable steering wheel.
In terms of safety, you get dual front air-bags, ABS with EBD and the electronic stability program with roll-over mitigation built into it. There are no visual differences between the upholstery of the cabin layout compared to the diesel counterpart.
