Mahindra released a new XYLO
7-seat MPV. The vehicle, which competes with the likes of Toyota Innova, is one of the latest
additions to the Mahindra Mzansi
troupe. Steadily the company is getting under our skins, as evidenced by the
Scorpio’s entry into the top 10 best-selling LCVs last month. Of course with
such a large farming community,
Mahindra should naturally be doing well here.
The XYLO has been refreshed using new headlights, a different
front grille, bonnet and rear roof spoiler. A list of 6 exterior colours is available, including something called Fiery Black and Toreador Red. Mahindra is
proudly talking about genuine Italian
leather for the interior trim, as well as a two-tone dashboard with glossy wood panels. We aren’t sure yet
if these are real or fake though.
The 2.2-litre diesel
engine, dubbed mHawk by the
marketing gurus of Mahindra, makes a good 88kW
of power at 4000 rpm and 280Nm of
torque between 2400rpm and 2800rpm. A 5-speed
manual gearbox is fitted.
For interior comforts, Mahindra included stuff like Bluetooth connectivity, music controls
on the steering wheel, cruise control
and climate control. There’s also a trip computer that shows how much fuel is
being used.
