Commenting on the launch of the XUV500 W9 variant, Veejay Ram Nakra, Chief of Sales & Marketing
- Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, said:

Since its launch in 2011, the XUV500 has been a pioneer in providing innovative hi-tech features that are not available even in vehicles that are almost double its price. We are certain that the introduction of these hi-end features at such a competitive price point will generate a lot of interest amongst prospects who are evaluating SUVs in the price range of 14 lacs to 18 lacs. By introducing these aspirational features at this price, XUV500 has raised the bar once again.
