Shoeb Kalania, who has the regular habit of reading Indian Autos Blog, sent us a rendering of the Xylo pickup truck after he read about it here. Shoeb runs SRK designs, a studio that focuses on automobiles that are months, sometimes years from a production line.
The Xylo pickup truck would come about from Mahindra’s Nashik plant later on in 2009. Demand for a lifestyle pickup in the country would understandably not be as much as in South Africa or say Thailand. The idea would be to allocate a small portion of the stock to India and the rest overseas.
Mahindra, by introducing the Xylo is trying to operate with full steam in Nepal, Bhutan and South Africa where demand for bigger vehicles is comparatively more. The Xylo pickup we hear, would percolate into countries as far as Egypt, Italy and parts of Africa where the Scorpio has visited.
We thank Shoeb for sending us his idea of the Xylo pickup. Unlike the Tata Xenon which harbors planes and a boxy design, the Mahindra Xylo pickup would use curves and rounded edges. The mEagle 2.5-liter CRDe engine should also be carried over from the Xylo.
Head over to SRK designs to see what this guy is capable of.
what is the difference between xylo pickup and bolero pickup
[...] Autos Blog brought you renderings of the four-door Xylo pickup truck in April 2009, and now we have pictures of the actual vehicle being tested in Ooty, thanks to [...]
I saw this pickup on road testing in Manali to Rothang pass road, on 19th September 2009
When is the launch of this pick up?
Great looking Pick up. In comparison to Tata Xenon this one looks much more curvy and stylish. Wider tyres are definitely needed for the extra masculinity that a pick up requires. Mahindra’s hot selling product id becoming even more hot. Now that Xylo has been well accepted, this pick up is sure to boost up Mahindra sales.
Cool design SRK. Personally I think it might look much better with a roll bar at the rar and a bank of fog lamps mounted on top. Of course wider tires are required. Also wish the alloys would be something other than the Scorpio ones.
That is some awesome work. Good going.
