The all new Mahindra XUV 500 for sale was announced in October of 2015 and features a fresh face, an emphasis on safety and a power that you will absolutely rev your engine over. With luxury, technology and the ‘Cheetah-inspired’ style features, the Mahindra XUV500 is an SUV to be reckoned with.

The main changes seen in this refreshed look is Mahindra’s high level of standard equipment, an out-of-this-world attention to style details and a refreshed front look that will turn heads. Never fear though, the powerful turbodiesel drivetrain is still what makes the Mahindra XUV 500 a powerful SUV.
