The manufacturer will also be looking to further add to its portfolio of petrol models. We’ve put together a list of all the upcoming new Mahindra Cars in India with expected launch date, price and specifications. Check it out –

Mahindra XUV500 Petrol
Over the years, Mahindra’s lineup has been dominated by diesel power. Currently, the only petrol model they sell is the KUV100. For its other models, Mahindra will introduce new petrol motors developed jointly with Ssangyong. The engine powering the Mahindra XUV500 petrol will be a 2.2 L unit. Exact specifications and details will be revealed closer to its launch. Speaking of which, while Dr. Pawan Goenka, in an interview a few months ago, stated the petrol models of the XUV and Scorpio will roll out before the end of 2016. However, that has not been the case.
| Expected Launch Date | Mid 2017 |
| Estimated Price | Rs. 12-16 lakh |
| Engine | 2. 2 L Petrol |
| Transmission | 6-speed Manual/6-speed Automatic |
Mahindra Scorpio Petrol
The other popular Mahindra product, the Scorpio, will also receive a new petrol motor soon. It will be the same 2.2 L unit as the XUV500 petrol albeit in a different state of tune. Mahindra already manufactures petrol variants of the XUV and Scorpio for export markets and will launch them in India soon as well.
| Expected Launch Date | Mid 2017 |
| Estimated Price | Rs. 9-12 lakh |
| Engine | 2.2 L Petrol |
| Transmission | 5-speed Manual/6-speed Automatic |
Mahindra TUV500
Mahindra is working on an extended wheelbase variant of the TUV300. It has been spotted testing on several occasions. This upcoming SUV from Mahindra will be longer than the TUV300, which means it will not be able to duck under the 4-meter small car length cap. However, the extra length will enable Mahindra to provide an extra row of front facing seats. It could turn out to be the perfect rival to the Honda BR-V.
| Expected Launch Date | End 2017 |
| Estimated Price | Rs. 9-10 lakh |
| Engine | 1.5 L Diesel |
| Transmission | 5-speed Manual/5-speed AMT |
Mahindra U321 MPV
Next on our list of upcoming Mahindra cars in India is the U321 (codename) MPV. The upcoming Toyota Innova Rival from Mahindra promises to be a much more premium product than the Xylo. It has been spotted testing near Chennai on multiple occasions and a production ready version could be unveiled by the end of 2017 or early 2018. The Xylo wasn’t exactly a very successful product for Mahindra. Especially when you take into account the fact that Mahindra is quite good with UVs. Now, it seems the manufacturer is working on an all new product to take the fight to the Innova once again. With Indian buyers fast losing interest in the MPV segment with the exception of the Innova, Mahindra will have to come up with something quite good.
| Expected Launch Date | End 2017 |
| Estimated Price | Rs. 10-12 lakh |
| Engine | 2.2 L Diesel |
| Transmission | 5-speed Manual/6-speed Auto |
XUV Aero
The very attractive and very cool XUV Aero Concept could enter production in the coming years. It blends the design of coupe and an SUV into one head-turning package. Details are scarce but expect the XUV Aero to cost somewhere around 20 lakhs. While Mahindra did shed some light on its specifications, we’ll have to wait till the launch to find out what exactly ends up powering the SUV-Coupe. This one is easily the most interesting car on our list of Upcoming New Mahindra Cars in India.
| Expected Launch Date | End 2018 |
| Estimated Price | Rs. 20 lakh |
| Engine | 2.2 L Diesel |
| Transmission | 6-speed Automatic |
Ssangyong Tivoli Based Mahindra S201
Although Mahindra was expected to bring the Tivoli to India as the second Ssangyong product, that is not going to happen. Instead, Mahindra will launch a new small SUV based on the Tivoli to rival the likes of the Hyundai Creta and Renault Duster. According to our sources, the new SUV will be shorter than the Tivoli. It will come to us in 2018.
| Expected Launch Date | Second Half 2018 |
| Estimated Price | Rs. 10-13 lakh |
| Engine | 1.6 L Petrol/1.6 L Diesel |
| Transmission | 6-speed Manual/6-speed Automatic |
New Ssangyong Rexton
The Ssangyong LIV-2 concept revealed in Paris back in September 2016 previews the upcoming Rexton. It introduces SsangYong’s new design direction and gives us a glimpse of what future products from the manufacturer might look like. The concept gets power from a 2.0 L petrol and 2.2 L diesel engine. Expect the next generation 2017 Ssangyong Rexton to hit showrooms by the end of 2017.
| Expected Launch Date | End 2017 |
| Estimated Price | Rs. 25-20 lakh |
| Engine | 2.0 L petrol/2.2 L Diesel |
| Transmission | 6-speed Manual/6-speed Auto |
