Mahindra claims over 50 individual styling changes in the new Xylo that the manufacturer has just launched. While most people may not be Bale to spot most of those changes in the first place, one thing is certain – the rather queer look on the MUV’s front end has finally given way to a more acceptable face. Gone is the odd shaped combination of the curved grille and sneering headlamps that seemed like they were fighting with each other for visual prominence and the set that replaces it is much in line with the XUV5OO’s styling; predominantly blackened and harmoniously in sync. The Mahindra logo in chrome too gets its own lip on the hood’s edge much like Mahindra’s smash hit SUV and the subtle changes continue all over the new car. 

There are new skirts, some rather invisible decals on the shoulders and a slightly pimped up rear end with neat rails lining the roof. The insides have had their fair share of makeover as well with a two-tone dash, a new centre console with a revamped Digital Drive Assist System and a 2-DIN music system. But beyond all the hoopla about improved styling is the real purpose of the new Xylo – an increased range of variants featuring three engine options!
