You could try asking for floor mats and some cash discount. Bargain hard on the insurance amount.

Commenting on the price hike, Pravin Shah, Chief Executive, Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd said, “We have been holding back prices for a while but now it has become necessary to raise them due to increasing input costs, devaluation of the rupee and increase in some raw material costs. As always, Mahindra remains committed to its customers.”

We learn through dealer sources that Mahindra will launch a new base variant ‘W4′ for the XUV500 by the end of this month, that misses out on equipment, thereby allowing the vehicle to have a lower starting price.
As the auto industry is experiencing a decline that was driven further downhill by the excise duty hike on SUVs, manufacturers including Mahindra have seen sales fall over the last six months. Another problem for Mahindra is a growing race of competitors – the Renault Duster, Ford EcoSport and impending introduction of the Nissan Terrano are trying to tap into Mahindra’s market share.
These vehicles haven’t cannibalized sales of the Scorpio or the XUV500, but a variant that positions it closer to this segment’s target customer may tempt a few to upgrade from the lower segments.
The XUV500 which consistently sold over 3,500 units a month, is now managing just over 2,000 units. The W4 variant, with a significant price advantage (currently retailed for between 12.01-14.64 lakh rupees, ex-showroom Delhi) could rev up numbers.
The sheet here lists all the features on the W4, but allow us to wrap it up for you.
Features sheet of the Mahindra XUV500 W4 variant.
Technologically, the Mahindra XUV500 W4 gets the same 2.2L diesel engine (140bhp/330Nm), start-stop and six-speed transmission, but it lacks the 6-inch touchscreen infotainment display, DVD player, tyre pressure sensor, parking assistant, rain sensing wipers and light sensing headlamps.
In safety, the W4 features dual airbags, and ABS with EBD, but misses out on ESP, Hill Hold and Hill Descent control. Cosmetically, the car does not have front foglamps, twin exhaust tips, roof rails or cladding strips.
On the aspect of comfort, the base variant bids goodbye to telescopic steering, fully-automatic temperature control, power-folding side mirrors and premium fabric upholstery.
In the matter of convenience, the car lacks cruise control, a multi-function steering wheel, illuminated key ring, camping lamp, puddle lamps and door ajar lamps.
The price difference between the W4 and the W6 is not available to us, but it won’t be long before Mahindra reveals this detail.

The base model, XUV 5OO-W4 still comes equipped with loads of features. Its no way a bare-bone. Most importantly it comes with all the safety features of W6, which I thought is an excellent gesture from Mahindra.![[clap]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Clap.gif "Clap [clap]")
The practical W6-features that I would miss in W4 [subjective and price dependent though]

- Power windows
- Illuminated key rings
- iPod & USB connectivity [probably included]

"Power windows with driver side express down" is seen unchecked for W4 in your post, thus my comment.
Probably the only the "express down" feature omitted with Power windows retained.

Actually this is an awesome move by MnM. This makes W4 even more VFM than Duster and Terrano.
I must admit i am a bit surprised - they could have gone for the kill by making it more bare bones and invade/persuade lower territory but they seem to clearly not want to do that and stick to a more premium not compromised position - i think this is more a branding decision than a business decision. If they get the pricing really right as in the early launch days shocker - this could be get them back in the game.

The current XUV W6 costs 11.90 Lacs ex showroom in Mumbai. If the W4 costs 10.5 Lacs to 11 Lacs ex showroom in Mumbai, then that means an on road price of about 12-12.5 Lacs in Mumbai. That puts it bang on in the Ecosport, Duster and Terrano territory. Competition intensified!
Infact, I would say thats a wiser decision. The XUV has been launched as a premium product and I would like it to stay that way. I dont want to see the XUV facing Aria's fate by going downhill and finally launching a stripped down variant for the taxi market.
