Mahindra & Mahindra has launched the 2018 version of XUV500 facelift. It is priced at Rs.12.32 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai).

The top-end variant W11 is priced at Rs.16.68 lakh for the manual transmission and Rs.17.88 lakh for the automatic variant and the vehicle will be available at showrooms with immediate effect.

There are no major changes made, but the company has offered one turbo-diesel motor for the top-end version. On offer is a 155bhp engine which electronically controls the turbocharger. This has resulted in a 10% increase in power along with a slight increase in fuel efficiency.

On the exterior the XUV gets an updated grille with chrome garnish, an altered front bumper, new triangular tail-lamps and a restyled tailgate with chrome accents. Tyres get diamond-cut alloy wheels.
