Mahindra being one of the best SUV makers in the Indian market had already planned to introduce a cut-price version of the XUV500 crossover couple of years ago back in March-2012, whose details has already been read by our dear readers in our previous posts couple of months ago. Mahindra’s cut-price variant of XUV500 will serve as the base variant of the existing XUV500 line-up and also compete with the likes of Renault Duster, Nissan Terrano and Ford EcoSport.

As per the reports obtained, Mahindra’s cut-price variant of XUV500 is launched at 10.83 lakhs INR (ex-showroom Mumbai) which is almost one lakh cheaper than W6 variant. It is obvious that this entry-level SUV has some of the features being removed from the existing XUV500 which was in fact loaded with countless features.
