There have already been significant delays in the launch of the second-gen XUV500, which like in the case of the Thar, could be due to the global shortage of semiconductors. However, we expect it to be launched soon, followed by the next-gen Scorpio. The new XUV500 is likely to be priced from Rs 14 lakh (ex-showroom), locking horns with the likes of the MG Hector, Tata Harrier, and Tata Safari.
