Mahindra & Mahindra has tasted quite a success with the Bolero & Scorpio in the past, bit the XUV 5OO was Mahindra’s first serious attempt at a global SUV which helped the company attract a totally new set of buyers looking for a more premium Indian SUV.
Launched in 2011 , The XUV took the market by storm and Indians praised it for the Cheetah inspired looks, Up – market interiors and the fact that it was from Mahindra saw customers lining up to book & get a glace of the XUV 5OO, The bookings grew and waiting periods began , but customers were ready to wait for their XUV 5OO to arrive .
A few niggling issues did crop up later and Mahindra did try to rectify the faults and improve the quality in the vehicle by introducing an upgraded version of the XUV 500, they also introduced a Base W4 , the XUV 5OO also hit the One Lakh Sales within three years of Launch.
Fast forward to today’s scenario the demand is as much as it was four years back, that’s mainly because of the introduction of new models that have entered into the market , like the Nissan Terrano , Ford Ecosport and Renault duster which have introduced urban SUVs at an affordable price tag.
