Mahindra XUV 500 Sportz Edition price, specifications, images, full details

Say hello to the 2017 Mahindra XUV 500 Sportz edition, a special edition model of the popular urban SUV. Mahindra has given a few new exterior decals and inserts on the XUV Sportz edition, while the feature list and powertrain remains identical. It must be noted that this isn’t the first time that Mahindra has launched a Sportz edition of the XUV in India. The automaker had introduced a similar edition on the pre-facelift XUV in 2015.

However, since the XUV 500 got a cosmetic refresh in 2016, Mahindra decided to re-launch the Sportz edition models with the new facelifted XUV as well.
