Auto Expo 2016: Mahindra to showcase XUV Aero Concept
The concept points at a future production XUV500-based coupé-SUV; to be unveiled at Auto Expo 2016.
Mahindra has released a teaser sketch of its new offering dubbed the XUV Aero concept, which points at a future production version an XUV500-based derivative from the manufacturer.
As seen in the teaser sketch, the overall design silhouette clearly points at Mahindra's attempt to bring in a stylish coupé-like SUV for the mass market. The concept is set to unveil at the 2016 Auto Expo. Currently in India, the coupé-SUV segment is populated by high-end luxury SUV offerings like the BMW X6 and the recently launched Mercedes GLE Coupe.
The XUV Aero concept’s styling mimics the XUV500 but gets a downward sloping roofline and is likely to come with horizontally positioned tail-lamps and a muscular bumper with faux diffusers.

The production version of the XUV Aero could be Mahindra’s new flagship and is likely to sit above the XUV500.
