Mahindra being the leader in the SUV segment is now looking to foray into the small car and entry level segment. In this direction the company is ready to launch a new mini SUV called the Mahindra Mini Xylo. The car will be available in the diesel variant. The car will look to create a distinct place for itself in the market and is expected to be a new trend setter. The Mahindra mini Xylo will be a volume seller for the company and is all set to carry forward the fervor left by the recently launched Mahindra XUV500.

The new Mahindra Mini Xylo is also expected to be adorned with a host of advanced features. The Mahindra Mini Xylo will be equipped with features like 1498 CC, 3 valves and will be available in the diesel. The car will also have power steering and easily take in five people and will also have five speed manual gear transmission.

The car is expected to compete with the likes of Chevrolet Beat Diesel, Toyota Etios Liva, Ford Fiesta hatchback, Maruti Cervo, New Ford Fiesta and Hyundai Avante.

There are no big changes to the car with regard to the dashboard, however keeping the cost factor in mind the car can be expected to come with the same quality similar to that of the Xylo. The car does have a strange similarity to the Maruti Wagon R in the rear. The car is expected to be launched by the end of November 2011 and currently the car is already is on trial runs at the Chakan plant in Pune. The car is expected to create the same ripples that the Mahindra XUV 500 has been doing.

As of now the company’s past laurels and the recent success of the XUV 500 does not leave much to argue about the mini Xylo as well. The design of this new Mahindra Xylo Mini is based on its forerunner the Xylo but the size of the mini Xylo is just about four meters. The car is expected to be the cheapest SUV in Indian market.
