My Love 500

My Love 500

I took a test drive of my love New XUV500 in 2K18, smart dual-tone 18-inch alloy wheels feature on the top W11 (O) variant and these fill the wheel wells very nicely. There's even a chrome strip on the doors and new roof rails, but these are far too subtle and can be easily missed. With this facelift, it?s the rear that's received the biggest change. It's got a redefined tailgate, new tail-lamps and a new roof spoiler, all of which gives the XUV500 a more tame, MPV-like appearance. XUV500 is still well-equipped and comes with kits such as a sunroof, auto headlamps and wipers, touchscreen with navigation, Android Auto, reversing camera, six airbags and ESP. But, this time around, the audio experience is tweaked by Arkamys and the location of the tweeters has been changed. With the BlueSense app, users can sync the infotainment to an Android or Apple smartwatch, which allows them to control the audio, climate control and view information like tyre pressure. Given the screen size of a watch, this function seems more party trick than useful. The XUV500 never lacked in terms of performance, but Mahindra has given the latest iteration a bump in power. The 2.2-litre diesel engine now makes 155hp and 360Nm of torque ? an increase of 15hp and 30Nm over the previous version. The variable geometry turbocharger is now electronically controlled, whereas the earlier one was vacuum controlled. 2018 update gives you is a more luxurious experience on the inside and even better performance. The Mahindra XUV500 may not match the Hyundai Creta's levels of sophistication, but look at it in isolation, and you'll see that its laundry list of features and ability to seat seven makes it an appealing proposition.
