KarthickB Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 About the launch of the Mahindra XUV500, the media speculated the launch being at the end of December 2011. But I came across the ICB sites which stated the launch of the SUV on September 28. Bookings will hence open since then and delivery of the vehicles to the customers will commence on October 7 or 8.

rameshbabu.n Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 @winner48 Â It is not "XUV 5 Oh Oh". I got a promo mail from them which takes me to a site in which you have an audio file which plays the name as " X-U-V-5-Double-Oh " Â rameshbabu.n2011-09-03 13:55:38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Doc Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Some numerologic crap.After all these years they can't even find a proper name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanthanreddyp Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Haven't you recognised a fact here. M&M wanted to continue it's tradition of naming it's products ending with an 'O'. Hence it has called it as X-U-V 5 Double 'O' instead of calling it 'XUV Five Hundred'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durango Dude Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Would Mahindra be leveraging the movie name "Rise of the Machines"...let's wait and watch. Hope the vehicle is fit for a another OO being 007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tejasmehta990 Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Haven't you recognised a fact here.M&M wanted to continue it's tradition of naming it's products ending with an 'O'. Hence it has called it as X-U-V 5 Double 'O' instead of calling it 'XUV Five Hundred'. That's funny , so if we spell the entire word it will become Xuvfiveoo . We all know quite well what it mean by SUV , MUV , UV etc... I wonder what it mean by XUV ?  I feel M&M is being symbolic and trying to say with X before UV that this is not UV from M&M.

khatbhej Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 i'm sure we'll eventually hold on to just 500 and pronounce it as "five hundred". IMO, X for Generation X UVÂ for Utility Vehicles 5 for this being the fifth car in their line-up (other four being Bolero, Scorpio, Xylo & Verito) 00 for style and to signify that this is the first car of the new series. Hence subsequently we can expect cars named 501, 502, etc. Personally I feel they might like to call it the Mahindra 5 Series.. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tejasmehta990 Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Or probably 500 is because it's a 5 seater so in future we will have XUV 700 series for a 7 seater version and so on and so forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativebala Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Rode beside this monster for quiet a distance today. Â This XUV is slightly camaflouged, so I could see most of it. This monster looks so beautiful and proportionate. This will sure revolutionize the 10+ Lakh SUVÂ market in India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rssh Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I don't really care about the name ,its the overall fit and finish and the package that M&M must deliver at the price point of 15 lakhs . Also the hideous front bumper in the spy pics must be done away with . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khatbhej Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Are you guys serious? So near is the launch and there's no decent photo of the 500? I have a feeling it won't be launched in September. Possibly the India-SA launch is what's going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Doc Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Anand Mahindra just now announced the date,it's coming on the 28th itself .

I think the base Aria is priced lower than the top end Innova .This will be much more costlier car for sure . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
