M&M has silently introduced new infotainment
features to the Mahindra XUV500, which include Android Auto, EcoSense,
Connected Apps and Emergency Call. These features will be standard from the W6
variant, which is priced at INR 13.8 lakh (Ex-showroom Navi Mumbai).
Android Auto connects your device to the car’s
infotainment system and allows you to make calls, listen to text messages, play
music from Google Music or use Google Maps for navigation purposes, all without
the need to touch your smartphone.
Mahindra has also introduced Connected Apps in the
XUV500, which gives you access to apps like Gaana, Cricket Live, Zomato, Book
My Show and more from the infotainment system itself.
Then there’s the new EcoSense feature that rates how
eco-friendly is your driving style based on parameters such as speed, gear
selection, acceleration, idling, clutch override and aggressive breaking, as
well as offers suggestions on maximising the fuel economy of the XUV500.
Also new is the Emergency Call feature that
automatically sends an SOS to the emergency services as well as two chosen
contacts in the unfortunate event of an accident.
Mahindra has introduced a new Lake-Side
Brown exterior colour as well as the option of black leather seats and
dashboard for the XUV500 W10 variant.
