Interiors
Enter the vehicle and you will be greeted by a
new black-beige theme. The new Mahindra Xylo has been layered with fresh
upholstery. Some of the loaded equipment includes a Bluetooth-enabled
double-DIN audio system with voice commands, a new instrument cluster
and steering-mounted audio and cruise controls. It also comes with
comfort features such as a flexible 60:40 third row and electric wing
mirrors, in addition to safety features which include front dual
airbags, Antilock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce
Distribution (EBD) and reverse park assist.
Engines and transmission
Under its hood, it comes with two diesel options- the2.5-litre CRDe
engine (93.7bhp of power) either in BSIII or BSIV standard and the
2.2-litre mHAWK (118bhp of power) as per BSIV, same as that of the
Scorpio. The BSIII engine is being sold in Tier III cities or rural
areas only .
Both engines are mated to the 5MT320 five-speed manual gearbox which
will be seen on the new Scorpio as well. Mahindra claims that the
suspension has also been reworked to offer a more comfortable ride,
greater stability and reduce bodyroll.
It can be said that the
refreshed Mahindra Xylo will be a fresh attempt for the company to
compete against segment leaders Maruti Ertiga and Toyota Innova.
