Mahindra XUV500 W6 Automatic Launched; Priced at 14.29 Lakh Monday May 09,2016

Mahindra has launched XUV 500 W6 variant with an automatic transmission; priced at 14.29 lakh (ex-showroom, Navi-Mumbai). Already available on the top-end variants, the Indian automaker has now introduced the automatic transmission on the mid-level W6 trim in a bid to make driving convenience more accessible to customers.

As a result, the XUV500 is now available in four automatic variants including W6 FWD, W8 FWD, W10 FWD and W10 AWD.

 The Mahindra XUV500 W6 automatic gets no changes to the engine and continues to draw power from the same 2.2-litre, four-cylinder mHawk diesel engine that produces 140bhp at 3750rpm and 320Nm of torque available between 1600-2800rpm.

The motor comes paired to the second generation 6-speed automatic gearbox sourced from AISIN, Japan. That said, the 2.2-litre is still not on sale in the Delhi-NCR region due to the ban and the XUV500 is available with the 1.99-litre diesel engine instead.
