Next Mahindra XUV500 to Sit Between XUV 3XO and XUV700

Mahindra XUV500 was first launched in 2011 and helped the brand strengthen its presence in India. As Mahindra’s flagship SUV, it was popular for its stylish design, premium features, and strong performance. However, with the introduction of the more advanced XUV700 SUV, customer interest shifted, leading to a drop in XUV500 sales and its eventual discontinuation.
 

At the launch of the XUV700 in August 2021, Mahindra announced that the XUV500 name would return. The upcoming XUV500 is expected to be a compact SUV, positioned between the XUV 3XO and XUV700 in the brand’s lineup.
