Mahindra Xylo limousine decorated with roses

Definitely won’t give you the time of life. With or without roses

If you want to arrive or leave your wedding in style, then you would do it along with a good looking bride flashy ride that oozes attitude and makes the statement. Like say an Aston Martin or a Lamborghini Gallardo or Bentley Continental.

Whether it is a stretched Toyota Innova, Renault Logan or a Ford Endeavour you can’t recreate such an effect. Would the fat man living next door win the Olympics if you put track suits on him? It’s that simple.

If you can’t lease an exotic, then better walk, take the bus or rent a cab or drive your own car. A stretched Mahindra Xylo shouldn’t be an option. Even if the registration plate has 007.

Mahindra Xylo pickup to be positioned as a lifestyle product

Mahindra_Xylo_pickup_truckThe loading area will be spruced up for it to sell as a lifestyle product

Contrary to the belief among car enthusiasts who have seen spyshots of the new Xylo based pickup truck, Mahindra will bring out the Xylo pickup truck as a lifestyle product.

After seeing the lack of demand for pickup trucks like the Xenon or the Scorpio Getaway, Mahindra, we’re told is looking at opportunities in other countries for this kind of product.

The spyshot shown here is only of the test mule. The production version’s loading area will be spruced up and will look stylish and civilized. Mahindra could use the M-Eagle 2.5 liter diesel engine with a 90hp diesel engine as reserve.

Mahindra Xylo Cargo Van for South Africa

mahindra-xylo-cargo

The Mahindra Xylo is slipping into an avatar of a distance load hauler for South Africa. The Xylo is among the chart busters in the Indian Automobile market this year and during its launch in January, Dr.Pawan Goenka, President of Mahindra’s Automotive Sector told us it will wear different costumes to take on many segments in the future. He also said they were looking at export markets and a petrol engine was taking shape for the same reason.

Utilization of the Xylo’s platform to make commercial vehicles is Mahindra’s next target. In the pipeline is a single cab pickup truck (which we’ve already shown you), a dual cab variant and this cargo van which has already been OK’d by the ARAI.

The Xylo cargo will have windows ‘blanked out’ to and no other alterations will arise to its exterior. The front seats will remain and the remaining will be vacated to open up a world of space.

Test Drive – Mahindra Xylo E6 Part 2/2

Mahindra Xylo 2 - 18

Every A.C vent has individual open/close provision, which is a very novel idea. Climate control could have made more people happy, but the abundance of vents all around the cabin keeps you as cool as the car itself.

The centre of the dashboard is occupied by the CD/MP3 player, which plays good quality music as we pointed out in our initial impressions.

Test Drive – Mahindra Xylo E6 Part 1/2

Mahindra Xylo 2 - 1

When I had gone to pick up the Mahindra Xylo from the parking lot, I wasn’t that excited, had not seen the Xylo in depth like Shrawan did during the launch, all I got were glimpses of it on the Mumbai roads.

I expected the Xylo to be another Mahindra product like the Bolero and Armada. To my surprise initially the Xylo didn’t look anything like a Mahindra, looked much different and up market, the design not so conventional, the tall stance hinted it was a vehicle bigger than the Scorpio. I won’t stress much on that as I have done it already in the initial report.

So, let’s see what the Xylo has up its sleeve.

Test Drive – First impressions of the Mahindra Xylo E6

Mahindra Xylo_014

OK, so what do we have here? This doesn’t seem like a Mahindra from any angle. Preceding to the launch, If its badges were pulled off, nobody other than any of the Mahindra engineers would have recognized it.

I can debate on its looks in five one-thousand word essays, but the crux is simple.

When I first saw the Mahindra Xylo with all of my friends in the Indian motoring journalism community, I recollect some staring at it in disbelief. Some of the leading journalists did not prefer it for its looks.

Time of Life – 15,000 Mahindra Xylos booked in three months

Time of Life – 15,000 Mahindra Xylos booked in three months

We don’t know if Mahindra Xylo owners are having a time of life roaming around town in their new car, but Mahindra certainly seems to. In a matter of three months, Mahindra received 15,000 bookings of the Xylo, and we’re ready to do a happy dance for this accolade!

I remember Mr.Anand Mahindra addressing all of us at the launch and describing how Lord Hanuman inspite of the extremely vigorous opposition, made up his mind to fight the battle to save Sita. Hanuman was the Mahindra XYLO here, with the opposition in Lanka played by the threatening economic conditions.

2,954 units of the vehicle found homes since its introduction. The XYLO’s looks was the topic of debate during the time of launch. People have grown used to it now, and I find the rear of the vehicle comparable to a concept car’s rear. Really, no kidding.

Tata, you getting any of this? When and where is the Indicruz?

Exclusive- Mahindra Xylo Pickup drawing by Shoeb Kalania

Exclusive- Mahindra Xylo Pickup drawing by Shoeb Kalania

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 on our blog. 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.
