While Mahindra was expected to launch the new-gen models of the XUV500, Scorpio, and Thar in 2020, the primary two never saw the sunshine of day because of the pandemic. they need been spied on numerous occasions and are expected to arrive sometime in early-2021. Now, another spy shot of the next-gen XUV500 has surfaced online that reveals its Mercedes-Benz-like connected touchscreens. this is often the clearest glimpse yet of the XUV500’s new screens.
From the spy shot, one can clearly figure out two integrated digital displays: the touchscreen infotainment system and therefore the instrument cluster. By the looks of it, the infotainment system seems to be bigger than 10 inches while the control panel appears a touch smaller as compared . On closer inspection, you’ll see the gear position indicator on the acute right and therefore the speedometer on the left of the instrument display. Other features on offer could include wireless charging, connected car tech, and level-1 autonomous driver assistance technology.
The next-gen XUV500 could accompany a group of two .0-litre turbo-petrol and a couple of .2-litre diesel engines, both of which are offered with the second-gen Thar also . Having said that, they’re going to be tuned to supply more power and torque given the SUV’s size and price. Mahindra is predicted to supply the new-gen XUV500 with both manual and automatic transmissions and an AWD (all-wheel-drive) drivetrain, as offered on the current-gen model until a short time ago.
The new-gen XUV500 is predicted to be priced from Rs 14 lakh (ex-showroom). it’ll still compete with the Jeep Compass, MG Hector, Tata Harrier, Hyundai Tucson, and therefore the higher variants of the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. We expect Mahindra to launch the SUV in early-2021.
