The time has arrived for the most anticipated car from the Mahindra stable to be launched. We are at the launch of the Tata Aria killer, which is all set to be unveiled in a few minutes. The XUV is indeed a step ahead for Mahindra as it’s their first offering which is set to debut on a global scale. The XUV500 features a Monocoque chassis and is powered by a 2.2-liter, transverse engine which uses a 5th generation variable geometry turbocharger. This mHawk motor (also seen on the Scorpio) has been tuned up on the XUV500 producing 140 BHP of power and 330 Nm of torque. There are talks that Mahindra will later introduce a twin-turbo which will pump the power figures to an astonishing 170 BHP. The mHawk engine is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox which is cable operated and developed with Ricardo. Mahindra will be launching the XUV500 in South Africa soon and the attention to detail is unheard of for an Indian vehicle.
