  • New XUV500 gets a completely redesigned cabin.

A few days back, we got a set of of the 2020 XUV500's cabin, which revealed the 7-seater layout and the dashboard design. What we have now are even more clear images of the second and third rows of the SUV giving us an idea of the space on offer.

Mahindra has reworked the whole cabin design and layout of the The central touchscreen unit, which joins the instrument cluster, is the most obvious change to the cabin. The aircon vents have also moved to a lower position below the touchscreen infotainment system. From earlier spy shots, we could also make out the design of the instrument cluster, which gets a central MID flanked by two analogue clusters.

Powertrain options are expected to be two BS6 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines. Although downsized, these engines are likely to produce more power than its 2.2-litre counterparts (155PS/360Nm for the diesel and 140PS/320Nm for the petrol). Transmission options might include a 6-speed manual and automatic gearbox with the option of all-wheel-drive.

Mahindra is working on the 2020 Scorpio and the next-gen Thar, which are also expected to debut at the Auto Expo 2020 with the new XUV500. Currently, the
