July 19, 2016: Since its introduction in 2011, the one thing we were waiting for in the Mahindra XUV500 was an automatic transmission. The Indian automaker finally fulfilled that desire by launching the two-pedal version of the crossover in November 2015. Until now, Mahindra offered the auto-box in three variants(W8 front-wheel drive, W10 front-wheel drive and W10 all-wheel drive). In order to make the XUV auto even more accessible, Mahindra has now launched the W6 front-wheel drive variant with the transmission at a price of Rs 14.29 lakh ex-showroom Navi Mumbai. Like the other variants, the W6 automatic also uses the 6-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox sourced from AISIN, Japan and comes mated to the 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine. At launch, Mahindra omitted features like the passive keyless entry system and push button starter from the XUV500 AT. Mahindra has now added both features and buyers can get them with the range-topping W10 variant with both, the manual and automatic versions.
