A test mule was spotted in Chennai giving us a clear view of what the final production car will look like.

Mahindra's been testing the car since mid-2010 and to make it a niggle-free product, the team behind this model has worked very hard. In a price sensitive country like India the under-four-meters length will give the mini-Xylo a cost advantage over the EcoSport and Duster.

The mini Xylo is derived from a MPV and the connection is clear despite giving the car off-road car traits like spare wheel on the rear door and a slightly raised body.

Earlier this year, we informed you that the engineers at Mahindra were asked to come with a three-cylinder version of the 2.2L mHawk engine in a more refined state.

The engineers seem to have achieved their goal, as the person who sent us this video said the car was very silent and there was not a puff of smoke that was coming out of the exhaust even when it was driven hard.
