XUV900 to be Mahindra's first SUV coupe

The XUV900 is expected to be a 4-door coupe version of the XUV700.

Remember the Mahindra XUV Aero concept that was showcased at the 2016 Auto Expo? Well, a recent report suggests that Mahindra will be putting the SUV coupe into production and it is likely to be called the XUV900 (codenamed: W620).

The report states that Mahindra's top management have given the project a go ahead. The carmaker's first SUV coupe is expected to share its underpinnings with the upcoming XUV700 and it could go on sale by 2024.

The concept of an SUV coupe was first introduced by BMW with the X6. But, the sporty looks come at the cost of practicality. The XUV900 is expected to be a 4-door coupe version of the XUV700. Exterior elements like pillarless suicide doors, which were seen on the concept, are unlikely to make it to the production version.

The interior of the XUV900 could be similar to its sister car. It could also be offered with same engine and transmission options, which include a 2.0-litre petrol and 2.2-litre diesel paired with either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed automatic.
