As you can see, the exterior features a red contrast colour inserts around the fog lamps, contrast-coloured door handles, brake callipers and roof rails. Most noticeable are the body graphics on the bonnet and lower door panels. Additionally, the Sportz badging is placed on the ORVM caps (wing mirrors), tailgate and on the C-pillars.
The Sportz limited edition adds new decals and red inserts all over.
Inside, the XUV500 Sportz adds on a stylised Sportz emblem on the dashboard as well as the key fob. Apart from the badge, there are no details about the changes to the cabin. Furthermore, the limited edition carries forward all features from the W10 trim.

It can be opted with either a 6-speed MT or a 6-speed AT gearbox. However, the Sportz edition will be available only with the FWD variants.
