The quality of the interiors of 2021 Mahindra XUV500 also seem to be a huge step up from the current-gen car. The SUV will have a dual-tone black and beige dashboard theme with plenty of silver accents that give the interior a very premium feel. The dashboard has a nice layered effect because of the different trim elements and the switchgear on the center console, HVAC controls and elsewhere also appear to be of quite a premium quality. Much like the new MG Hector Plus and the Tata Safari, the next-gen XUV500 will also likely be offered in either a 6-seater configuration with captain seats or a 7-seater with bench seats for the middle row. The next-gen XUV500 is also set to bring in segment-first Level 1 autonomous driving technology features. Once only reserved for luxury cars in India, the XUV500 will soon be the most affordable car in the country to boast of such a feature. Level 1 autonomous tech will bring in features like autonomous emergency braking, parallel park assist, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning and more. Other features on the SUV could include dual-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, electronic parking brake with auto hold, and up to seven airbags.
The 2021 Mahindra XUV500 will be powered by the brand new 2.0L turbo-petrol engine and the 2.2L mHawk diesel engine that the company recently debuted with the all-new Thar. It could however come in a higher state of tune than what is available with the Thar. Transmission options will include both manual and automatic gearboxes and Mahindra could even throw an all-wheel-drive system in the mix, at least for the higher variants. The new Mahindra XUV500 is expected to debut sometime around mid-2021 and will likely be priced from INR 14 lakh (ex-showroom). That will put it against the likes of the Tata Safari, MG Hector Plus and the upcoming Hyundai Alcazar.
