2018 Mahindra XUV500 facelift interior second row — The second-row seat is fixed in place and cannot be moved forward or backwards

The new interior images shed light on the last two rows. As reported, the seats are draped in tan leather with partial diamond stitching. As such, there are no changes to the seating configuration in comparison to the outgoing model. The Mahindra XUV500 will continue without a sliding second row, which means leg space for third-row occupants cannot be altered. All three second-row occupants and both third-row occupants get height adjustable headrests.

As reported previously, the interior of the 2018 Mahindra XUV500 gets tan leather/leatherette upholstery, leather dashboard trim, and gloss black finish for the centre console. Other changes include silver trim on the gear knob, centre armrest, handbrake lever, and steering wheel. Updates to the exterior will include new six-slot radiator grille, and a horizontal LED DRL strip now sits along with the top edge of the headlamps, triangular tail lamps, redesigned tailgate with a wider license plate recess, new tailgate garnish, and a new roof spoiler with an integrated stop lamp.
