Mine is W11 (O) AT AWD, and came with 18" Apterras.

Cash discount is 25k for March '19. 25k cash + 25k exchange + 9k corporate offer, total 59k.

They are offering you too less. You should definitely get the following (excluding exchange bonus) if you try harder.
1. 25000 cash discount.
2. 9000 corporate discount
3. Have them waive handling charge of 9090(disguised as incidental)
4. Negotiate hard on insurance. You can easily save atleast 20-25k by getting a quote outside and have the dealer match it.
5. And then you can also squeeze hard for further discount or freebies like a basic kit (mats, perfume)

Which dealer is this?, please let me know if you have any known contacts at the dealership?

I'm not in Madras anymore bro, but this is standard Mahindra offer - look up March offers in Google, there was a press release, and Hyderabad dealers (both of them) are giving this.

Thank you Sir, this is really helpful

I noticed that the XUV500 prices are no more available at https://www.mahindraxuv500.com/buyer....aspx?id=price I am wondering if there is going to be a change in pricing?.

Looks like it was a glitch and the prices are back now.

Finally after 1 year of tracking and lot of two and fros into various cars and categories I've booked the XUV 500 W11 (O) AT AWD with a cash discount of 50k, (25 discount and 25 on insurance) with the onroad price of 22.35L here in Gurgaon.

Congratulations! What is the insurance quotes after discount?. If you take outside, it should be cheaper. Get an online quote and ask the dealer to match or you can take it outside. Also, there is a corporate discount and exchange bonus available if applicable in your case.

Thanks bro The insurance amount is around 75k post discount. I will also try and get a qoute from outside.

There is a buyback bonus of 30k and I might trade in my Polo at this point if I get something decent. Since I'm buying it in my company's name I don't think corporate discount will be applicable as I guess that's for people working in corporates.

I took the plunge yesterday, booked myself a W7 AT Opulent Purple. I liked the Hexa,but still it resembles a MUV than a SUV and felt too bulky to drive. We also have one in the family and want to be different.

Mahindra XUV5OO W3 variant has been launched today at ₹12.28L . It's the new entry level variant which undercuts the price of Harrier but misses a host of features.

Details here - https://www.autocarindia.com/car-new...mpression=true

Thanks for the info. Mahindra might be targeting self drive rental companies with this as I don't think any one who buys XUV500 for their personal use would go for this variant.

I am looking forward buy a relatively large SUV, I want a step up kind of a feeling from my Brilliant but ageing Terrano. Irrespective of the fact that XUV is too long in tooth now, it somehow keep coming on the top of my shortlisted vehicles. Test drove the W11 MT today.

I am kind of sold on it, my wife is not a fan of the way it looks, my daughter loves it.

I have shortlisted the W7 MT. I have been quoted 16,05,000₹ after Discount and exchange bonus. The price includes some green tax along with TCS. This green tax is new to me.

I will check out the car on Sunday along with my wife and daughter to take the final call.

PS: My wife likes Marazzo, even I kind of like it but can't imagine myself using it as a daily driver.

Could the next gen XUV500 follow the design language of XUV300? I've seen some renders floating around and I hope what Mahindra comes up with is along the lines of this - clean, sleek and classy.

Very much likely - As these renders show nothing but a 2019 Ssanyong Korando, but with a new face.

Not sure if majority of the people would like an XUV without the street presence though!

That will be disappointing as XUV300 would have become common by then, which share the same design language with Alturas !

I wish the new XUV500 to create the same vibe and excitement that it created a decade ago when it was launched ! If Mahindra needs to be repeat the success, they need to start the design language from scratch !
