IAB Scoop- Mahindra XYLO headlamp and grille image

IAB Scoop- Mahindra XYLO headlamp and grille image

One of our Indian Autos Blog readers emailed us an image of what he thinks is the soon to debut Mahindra XYLO. The image is low-resolutionbut the signature Mahindra grille and emblem with a new and unseen headlight and bumper design confirms that this is after all the XYLO.

Look closely at the number plate, you can view the letters I and O, and the word “project” just above it. What this could be is “Project Ingenio” indicating the picture must have been taken before the XYLO name was christened to this vehicle.

From what we can see, Mahindra have pinned the fit and finish aspect. The bonnet line looks neat and the headlamp design head-on is similar to the Tata Sumo Victa. The portion of the bumper where the fog lamp sits, is fitted with plastic conveying this is a base model. The brown color adds appeal which both the Scorpio and the Bolero are offered with.

2009 Mahindra Cab Chassis Variant launched in Australia

The 2009 Mahindra Cab Chassis Variant has been launched in Australia. This is a Commercial Vehicle which offers supreme flexibility as buyers pick what occupies the rear of the cabin.

This reminds of me of HCV manufacturers like Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland who retail the Chassis (skeleton with the engine and gearbox) to buyers for them to build the rest of the vehicle as per their needs and requirements at the local coach builder. This is also the first time something like this is being offered in Australia.
