Economic Times, 25 Dec '09

Indian auto major Mahindra & Mahindra on December 24th launched a new version of its multi-utility vehicle Xylo with an advanced engine.

The new model is priced at Rs. 630,000 (US$ 13,500), ex-showroom Delhi. The new Xylo D2 is equipped with a 2.5 litre mDI CRDe engine, which would give a mileage of 13 km per litre, Mahindra & Mahindra said in a statement.

"The Xylo D2's mDI CRDe engine offers... greater fuel efficiency, lower maintenance and spare parts cost and decreased emissions," Mahindra & Mahindra senior vice president for marketing-automotive sector Vivek Nayer said.

The largest utility vehicle seller launched the Xylo late last December and has been a run-away success.
