Mahindra Xylo, the people mover from home grown SUV specialist Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd has undergone a heart transplantation. The company has replaced the 2.5ltr m-Eagle engine with a 2.2ltr m-Hawk engine. The engine is a familiar one – doing duty in Mahindra Scorpio for the past few years. While the new engine is smaller compared to the outgoing engine, it is powerful yet fuel efficient. The engine develops 120PS of power and 280Nm of torque. The engine is coupled to a five speed manual gear box. Mahindra Xylo comes with an ARAI certified fuel efficiency of 14.02 kpl. The current Mahindra Xylo variants are named as E4, E8 and E9, the new variants are labelled as H4, H8 and H9. Mahindra has not altered the pricing of Xylo. The Mahindra H4 variant comes with ABS, while the H8 variant has Air Bags in addition to the ABS. The top end variant has Voice Command Technology (VCT) as extra compared to H9 variant. Other features in the top end variant include Cruise Control and Digital Drive Assist System. The new Mahindra Xylo comes in a new shade - Dolphin Grey – as well. “The Xylo has since its introduction in 2009 carved a unique identity for itself in the area of class leading space and comfort. The addition of the world class mHawk engine will further boost its performance and take it a notch higher in its segment. Equipped with higher power and better efficiency, we are sure that the new Xylo H-series will be a popular choice amongst the discerning personal buyers,” said Mr. Pravin Shah, Chief Executive, Automotive Division, Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd. The ex-showroom (Pune) price of of new Mahindra Xylo variants are as follows – H4 BS IV – 8,10,407 H4 ABS BS IV – 8,34,254 H8 ABS BS IV – 9,11,468 H8 ABS Air Bag BS IV – 9,49,005 H9 BS IV – 10,42,047 Mahindra Xylo was launched in 2009 and had a good start. But Xylo could not maintain the initial momentum and sales are facing resistance due to launch of new products in it’s segment. We need to wait and see the market response to the new Mahindra Xylo with new heart. The post Mahindra Xylo H-Series comes to Pune appeared first on Wheelosphere.org .

Maruti Ertiga Feliz will get cosmetic bits to make the car more beautiful. The exterior changes will include a front grille, fog lamps and rear view mirrors in silver shades. Other changes are a special rear spoiler and body graphics. These changes will make the Ertiga Feliz different from regular Maruti Ertiga. Under the roof, Ertiga Feliz will get additional styling bits. The exact details of the new features are not known at this moment. The seat covers and car pillows may get Ertiga Feliz branding. Other convenience features include rear parking sensors with digital display and back pocket organizer. Other styling elements include new steering wheel cover, floor mats and door sill protectors. Maruti Ertiga is expected to continue with current engine line up. That means the gasoline sipping versions will get current K-Series engine while diesel models will get Fiat sourced 1.3ltr Multijet engine. Both the engines do not require explanations. The pricing of Maruti Ertiga Feliz edition is not known at this moment. But we expect an increase of Rs.10,000 to 25,000 for the Feliz variant. Maruti Ertiga helped company to make inroads into Multi Purpose Vehicle (MPV) segment. Ertiga managed to clock 5000 units from it’s launch and in the recent months the sales are facing resistance. Another product Chevrolet Enjoy is expected to hit Indian market by end of this week. So Maruti Suzuki may launch the Ertiga Feliz variant after Chevrolet Enjoy launch. So stay with us for more updates. The post Maruti readying Ertiga Feliz variant appeared first on Wheelosphere.org .
