Mahindra's all-new XUV500 just two weeks away, with two-wheel drive price leader to follow
Mahindra is on the verge of launching its first compact SUV in Australia, where the all-new XUV500 will become available in just over two weeks in all-wheel drive guise before a cut-price front-wheel drive version follows in two months.
Both variants will be powered by a 103kW/330Nm 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel with fuel-saving idle-stop technology, matched exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission, which could limit the XUV500’s appeal in the auto-focussed Australian SUV market.
However, both XUV500s will come in well-specified ‘W8’ Western-market form, aimed directly at bargain-basement compact crossovers like Great Wall’s X200 diesel, which at $25,990 drive-away is currently Australia’s most affordable compact diesel SUV, and SsangYong’s Korando diesel, which starts at $27,990 drive-away in 2WD guise.
Mahindra’s first self-designed monocoque-based crossover, which officially goes on sale here on June 14, will also offer the flexibility of seven seats, as well as coming standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, a full safety suite comprising electronic stability/traction control, six airbags, ABS brakes with four-wheel discs, rollover mitigation, hill descent control and a reversing camera.
The XUV500 has also undergone testing by independent Australian crash safety body ANCAP, which is yet to publish its findings.
Front and rear foglights, air-conditioning, remote central locking and power windows/mirrors will also be standard across the range, and other features expected to be available in the XUV500 for Australia include leather trim, satellite-navigation, a cool box, remote steering wheel controls, climate-control, adaptive cornering headlights, tyre pressure monitoring, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights and reverse parking sensors.
The ‘W6-spec’ 2WD XUV500 is likely to forego luxuries like leather trim, sat-nav and a reversing camera.
Both variants will offer a competitive 2500kg braked towing capacity (750kg unbraked), with the AWD weighing 1810kg and offering a 700kg payload and the 2WD weighing 75kg less at 1735kg but still affording the same 2510kg gross vehicle mass.
As we’ve reported, the XUV500 has been a smash hit in India, where it is produced, as well as South Africa, and will be one of two new Mahindra models imported by the company’s factory-owned Brisbane-based Australian distributor this year, including the new Genio 1.25-tonne pick-up, the first example of which has just arrived Down Under for Australian Design Rule approval.
The Mitsubishi Outlander-sized XUV500 rides on a 2700mm wheelbase with 172mm of ground clearance, measures 4585mm long, 1890mm wide and 1785mm high, and is suspended by MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link independent rear suspension system.

Re: Mahindra - Rise.
No doubt Mahindra is the best innovator in Automobile Industry in India. I still remember my campus interview (2005 Jan), pre placement talk and they mentioned that while launching Mahindra Scorpio their R&D cost was much lesser what other auto giant spends.Mahindra has totally redifined the SUV sector of India. After being selected I joined L&T in OIL and GAS division.
There is a case study for Scorpio :-
Project Scorpio: The Making of India's First Indigenous Sports Utility Vehicle | Operations Case Studies | Business Operations Management Cases | Case Study
What we all belive that Mahindra Group is the only Auto company in India who can even make India made Hummer. They are also exploring the Defence as well as AeroSpace, some time back I read in TOI that they have manufcatured a Anti Mine Police van to to tcakle naxal and it is being used by Jharkhand govt.
Mahindra is such an aggressive group, they didn't get scare to even invest in Satyam while at the same time other IT giants were not ready put their foot.Now I am part of Mahindra group, but what I feel that their focus on IT is not as great as Auto thats why huge attrition over here. Hope Mr. Anand will take ( Tech Mahindra+ MSAT) $2.4B company to next level.
Take my bow, Mr. Anand Mahindra. For me NRN, Ratan Tata and Anand Mahindra these three are the bestest.

Re: Mahindra - Rise.
A clutch of automobile dealers from United States of America have filed a lawsuit against Mahindra & Mahindra and its U.S. counterpart alleging the company of resorting to fraud, misrepresentation and conspiracy on June 4.
A press release posted on prnewswire.co.insaid, the lawsuit alleges that Mahindra duped hundreds of U.S. auto dealers and walked away with more than $60 million in cash and trade secrets. Then Mahindra simply reneged on its promises, according to attorney Michael Diaz, the managing partner of Miami-based Diaz Reus & Targ, who leads the plaintiffs' legal team of Gary Davidson, Brant Hadaway, Carlos Gonzalez and Sumeet Chugani.
A statement issued by Mahindra & Mahindra on Wednesday said, "Mahindra unequivocally denies all allegations of fraud, misrepresentation and conspiracy."
Referring to the law suit filed on June 4, statement said, "We cannot comment on this as the matter is in the courts," however added, "We would like to state that some dealers had earlier filed a suit against Mahindra and Global Vehicles in the US District Court in Missouri. The Missouri Court dismissed all claims against Mahindra in that suit. Significantly, the Missouri Court also ruled that Mahindra could not be held liable for any action of Global Vehicles with respect to its dealers."
The mass tort lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Atlanta on June 4, 2012 against Mahindra & Mahindra, Ltd, and Mahindra USA, Inc. by dealerships in New Hampshire, Florida, California, New Jersey, and Washington.
"Mahindra told the dealers that its light trucks and SUVs were ready for delivery to the U.S. market," said Diaz. "However, Mahindra intentionally delayed certification of its vehicles after obtaining the dealership fees and trade secrets, and began pursuing other partners in the U.S. and elsewhere in clear violation of their commitments."
Dealers across the country paid initial dealership fees, undertook marketing on Mahindra's behalf, built Mahindra showrooms, display platforms and showcases, and hired additional personnel, all at Mahindra's urging, according to the lawsuit.
"Through their false representations, the defendants lured the U.S. dealers into making investments and promoting Mahindra's brand name," said Diaz
According to the lawsuit, M&M began laying the groundwork to enter the US market and build nationwide dealer network in 2004. And the official of the company provided a set timeline for Mahindra's four door truck to the US at the end of 2008 and Mahindra's two-door truck and SUV in the third quarter of 2009.
Over the next two years, Mahindra continued to reassure the U.S. dealers that its certification process was on target, while in fact it was delaying submitting its documentation to regulators as a pretext for terminating its agreements, Diaz added.
"Mahindra repeatedly failed to live up to its obligations," Diaz explained. "Now, after spending millions of dollars on behalf of Mahindra, the U.S. dealers have nothing to show for their time and energy other than a series of false promises."
Mahindra & Mahindra continues to sell tractors through its subsidiary in US and has a decent market share of 5-10% in certain markets, but its utility vehicles and pick up truck roll out has been constantly mirred in legal wrangles.
And it seems the pick up trucks which it had developed for the US market may no more meet the stringent regulatory requirements of today.
It's really sad to see company like Mahindra handling this whole fiasco in an unprofessional manner.

MAHINDRA walk's into another trouble,
Barely two months after announcing that it would market SsangYong's products here, Mahindra South Africa is now locked in a dispute with local company Twin Dragons Automotive over distribution of the South Korean auto maker's vehicles.
"The previous distributor for SsangYong, Twin Dragons Automotive (TDA), a member of the Imperial Group of companies, continues to trade and market themselves as the SsangYong distributor. Mahindra SA would like to inform potential SsangYong customers that the agreement between TDA & SsangYong is no longer valid," Mahindra South Africa (MSA) said in a statement issued on Monday.
MSA, an affiliate of Indian auto maker Mahindra and Mahindra, had said in April that it would market SsangYong products here, the first country outside India, after M&M acquired a 70% stake in the Korean car maker last year.
MSA Chief Executive Ashok Thakur said his company has not only represented SsangYong products in South Africa since April 1, but also in neighbouring Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique since the agreement between TDA and SsangYong was no longer valid.
But TDA's lawyers have denied this claim, saying that all vehicles sold by TDA now and in the past were purchased from SsangYong Motor Company as per the terms of a distribution agreement, which also gives TDA the right to sell vehicles with a valid manufacturer's warranty.
Anabela da Silva of TWB Attorneys, representing TDA, declined to comment further on the matter. He, however, indicated that the company could go to court, if necessary.
On Monday, MSA also announced 19 new dealers across South Africa for its SsangYong range of products.
