The fight for number one spot at the MUV segment is being boosted with the launch of new Mahindra Xylo D2 Maxx which is a 9 seater compared to the much popular and undeniably the king at MUV(or MPV) market, Toyotta Innova. The launch was done yesterday and the makers have tagged the price of the new vehicle competitively.

Priced at Rs 7.12 lakh (BS3, ex-showroom, Mumbai), this variant gets side-facing rear seats in additon to the regualar model. The company claims the Xylo D2 MAXX to have received a new look front grille with Mahindra logo, new bumper with sporty air dams and wheel arches, giving it a distinct look.

According to Vivek Nayer, Chief Marketing Officer, Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. “The Xylo D2 MAXX with the mDI CRDe engine is a variant of the Xylo, which delivers great mileage, low maintenance and maximum space, making it a very popular choice with the tour and travel segment. Today, we are delighted to offer our customers the 9 seats option with side-facing rear seats – a feature preferred by the tour and travel segment. Given that the Xylo has best-in-class space, the side facing seats will provide a great deal of flexibility for carrying people or luggage.”

Xylo D2 Maxx ships with the same 2.5 Litre engine as regular Xylo hence there will be no changes to the performance perspective. The 2.5-litre mDI CRDe engine, which churns out the maximum power output of around 93bhp and 220Nm torque, while returning 14.95kmpl of mileage.

Xylo although has been second popular among the MUV segments, it is still to reach the concerns that were raised over time. That of bumpy ride and unstable cornering. With more passengers on, the complaints may still come running in. But the tag of an affordable MUV made by an Indian manufacturer will be the tagline.

Personally we feel that it still has to run longer miles to dethrone Toyota Innova.
