Re: Global SUV From Mahindra (W201) Coming Soon!

Update! Mahindra has now officially christened their secret SUV (Codename: W201) as XUV5OO, where double ‘O’ denote the oomph factor.
Dr. Pawan Goenka, President, Automotive & Farm Equipment Sectors, M&M Ltd. said “We are all set to create a new milestone with the launch of the Mahindra XUV500 which truly embodies and encapsulates the essence of the Mahindra Rise philosophy. Having extensively tested and validated our product with global and Indian customers alike, I am happy to add that we will simultaneously launch the XUV500 in South Africa under the same brand name. I am confident that the XUV500 will follow in the footsteps of its illustrious predecessors to evolve into an iconic brand.”

Re: Mahindra Global SUV (W201) Coming: Named as XUV5OO!

well what i heard mr. pawan saying was 5OO which is not (0) zero as of five hundred but five o o alhpabet with continuing it with xylo and scorpio.It would launch by diwali for indian as well as south african market.The Alpha Numeric name is been taken from other multinational brands naming their premium SUV's like this, which would help mahindra as well was heard mr.pawan quoting.

And how do Mahindra pronounce this weird name where 'OO' are 'O's & not '0's?? Really bad name IMO. [frustration]

Re: Mahindra W201 (XUV5OO) Launching By End-2011

Bad naming IMO just like TATA did with Aria. I hear people calling it Area or writing it as Ariya!


This one people will end up calling it as 500(five hundred) instead of 5oo!


I like their website though!

Ha ha well said dhaya, Arya you missed this word.
But till now in Bangalore i have hardly come across 3-4 Aria's.

XUV (Xtreme utility Vehicle)5 oo , i couldn't understand it at all.
Why did they gave such name.

May be they will start updating the product like Hyundai i10, i20, i45 etc....

I agree the name is weird but unique at the same time. If pronounced properly, it sounds cool as well! i think thats what mahindra intended.

Looking forward for the launch.

Am i seeing a potential buyer on this forum??[glasses]

And heard that the new XUV 500 & Scorpio's A.S.S will change.
The new mini xylo's and other trucks Genio will be serviced in the old A.S.S.

Somehow, the name sounds great to me. Xtreme Utility Vehicle. I just hope the XUV5OO comes out soon since i cant wait to see this new package.
