Mahindra Xylo To Launch In December
Mahindra has finally officially announced the launch of the Mahindra Xylo, (previously known as the Ingenio) in December. Mahindra says that the Ingenio is the project name for the Mahindra Xylo and not the brand name. The Mahindra Xylo was created with the help of its customers for developing a vehicle around the lifestyle and luxury aspirations of its end customer.
Mahindra defines its Xylo as a vehicle that gives the ruggedness of the SUV, space of a MPV and luxury of a sedan. The styling of the Mahindra Xylo has been co-developed by M&M and the Italian design team. Mahindra had hand-picked 160 engineers to make the Mahindra Xylo and calls it a masterpiece of design and engineering.
The Xylo will come with a 2.5L CRDe diesel engine, which will be later followed by a petrol engine (co-developed by AVL). The MUV Xylo will also come in an automatic transmission.
claims that they had tested the Xylo for over a million kilometers in different conditions and terrains to make sure the car does well in all aspects. They have tested in the cold hilly regions of Manali, hot deserts of Rajasthan and the the cold deserts of Leh. To top these conditions, the Xylo was taken to South Africa, Germany and the UK.
The Mahindra Xylo will be launched to take on the Toyota Innova, Chevrolet Tavera and the Tata Sumo Grande. Lou D’Angelo, a world renowed car photographer who takes pictures of much bigger cars says that the Xylo is a tough looking car and has very good character lines.

Mahindra Xylo has also been getting a lot of rave reviews on orkut. The official community : http://www.orkut.co.in/Main#Community.aspx?rl=cpn&cmm=51199496
seems to be very interactive and informative.
The Xylo is the new car from Mahindra which is expected to be launched early January 2009, and is the final product of ‘Project Ingenio’. This project was launched with an idea of developing a vehicle that would challenge the limitations of every car before it. And Mahindra has left no stone unturned to make the Xylo exceeds its customer expectations. The Xylo is dubbed the stretched sedan, as it is a response to people’s city driving needs, in a sedan dominated market.
The Xylo took a long four years to design and produce. With over 160 engineers handpicked from across the country. Each engineer chosen for his/her expertise in a field of automotive engineering. And since it delivers all the advantages of a sedan and more, it can be considered an evolved sedan.
