Mahindra to launch Mini-Xylo by mid-2011

This car will be powered by a 1.5-litre diesel engine. Will Mahindra succeed in getting more buyers?

There is a vacant segment for a SUV/MUV below Rs. 6 lakhs. Premier tried it with the RIO which failed. Maybe, a better product at that range can work.

This is a new segment space to be explored in the Indian market. The pricing by M&M is the key here. Since they are planning to launch it as sub 6 lacs category, it would become a strong contender for hatches in this range. It would surely offer better space compared to hatches but one would like to see its driving dynamics. This is one point where hatches would score over Mini Xylo. If M&M caters to this need, then definitely the segment would be set on fire.

I saw a maruti 800 converted in suv (1992) , I was amazed and thought if some automobile co. design this kind of suv definataly they will get huge responce.

I think mahindra knows the Indian consumer very well & it will make it a sure success. I dont remember any Mahindra product failing in the Indian market apart from "Logan", which is a gr8 product. i believe Logan failed due to poor design & poor promotion, otherwise its a gr8 product.

Anyways, Best Of Luck Mahindra.

Any inside info on the launch date of the Xylo mini? Mid 2011 would mean????

Waiting to see it in the showrooms

 absolutly no. it depends on the performance of the vehicle with 5 passengers inside the car, now a days buyers are very conscious about engine power, interiors,  and look of the car. if the engine is around 100 bhp sure mahindra will capture the market.

Rakesh,

it is not necessary that if a car produces more bhp, it will be a success.

logan Diesel did not fail because of poor power. it has adequte power & gives excellent FE of 22 kmpl on highways.
