There are styling tweaks both, inside and out, which includes a new front grille and bumper, alloy wheel design, roof rails, and a new design for the rear tailgate design and tail-lamps. Now, you also get LED daytime running lamps as well as a sunroof. Mahindra added soft-touch materials to the dash and the car also comes equipped with tan leather seats with quilted stitching.
You could also get the more powerful 155hp motor on the diesel XUV500.
