Mahindra XUV 500 W6 2WD

 Mahindra XUV 500 W6 2WD Review

Recently launched Mahindra XUV 500 is a huge success in Indian market. The SUV bears testimony to the tough range of wagons popular in India. All the 3 variants including this one are made of monocoque body structure used first time by M&M. A single frame is used to construct the SUV unlike traditional design. All the 3 models are more or less same except the drive option. This particular model is the 2 wheel drive option. Two wheel drive vehicles apply the torque from the engine to the 2 wheels (probably in this case to the front wheels).  XUV 500 W6 2WD is equipped with 2-wheel drive to provide better fuel efficiency and traction. By consolidating the transmission, engine and differential towards one side of the car, the bulk of the weight is moved to that side of the vehicle, which gives tyres a better grip on the road. The other side can then be used for cargo or passengers, making 2-wheel drive more suitable for passenger vehicles. The engine used in this is common to all 3 variants i.e. a masculine 2179 cc mHawk diesel engine delivering 140 bhp power.
The model misses on 6 inch color touch screen infotainment display. Instead it has a monochrome 6 inch infotainment display. GPS navigation system, a DVD player and Tyre tronics are absent. But the model has dual airbags (driver’s and passenger’s). Moreover, the model is well equipped with Cruise audio, phone controls and voice command switches on the steering powered electrically and with tilt adjustments.
