Android Auto coming to the Mahindra XUV500

Thank you to Team-BHP fan Hardit Marwah for sending this information in. Heartfelt gratitude for sharing it with other enthusiasts!

Mahindra might soon introduce a new infotainment system to the XUV5OO, which will support Android Auto connectivity. The official Android Auto website suggests that the feature is 'coming soon' to the 2017 XUV5OO.

The mid-size 7-seater SUV segment has been facing tough competition in recent times. The XUV's dominance is now at a big threat from the upcoming Tata Hexa, while some customers are also opting for the new Innova Crysta instead. With Android Auto becoming a popular feature in various segments, Mahindra too appears to be relying on it to give a slight boost to the XUV's presence in the Indian market.

In addition to Android Auto, Mahindra might also add a few more features to the 2017 XUV5OO. However, comprehensive cosmetic changes on the outside are highly unlikely since the SUV was given a mid-life facelift last year.
