PROJECT INGENIO TO BE CALLED XYLO

Project Ingenio to be called XYLO

Mahindra & Mahindra’s soon-to-be-launched multi-utility vehicle(MUV) will be called the Xylo(pronounced Zy-Lo). The MUV will be launched with a downsized ‘2.5-litre’ common-rail engine from the Scorpio CRDe and will have 110bhp on tap. Clearly, M&M will be focusing on driveability and economy rather than all-out performance. More engine options will be available at a later stage as will a 4x4 option. The Xylo is expected to be more spacious than current class leader Toyota Innova, especially in the third row. Prices are expected to start at around Rs 7.5-8 lakh for the base variant.
