Mahindra is now planning to launch a smaller version of the Xylo, named as Mahindra Mini-Xylo. It should be noted that the mini Xylo uses a shortened version of the present Xylo’s body-on-frame chassis and the engine capacity has been reduced from 2.5-litres to under 1.5-litres by eliminating one cylinder and reducing the bore and stroke.

This new Mahindra Mini-Xylo, a new Hatchback vehicle in the B+ segment, features a 1498cc, 3 cylinder Diesel engine. The maximum power as well as the maximum torque that can be generated by this new Diesel engine is yet to get revealed by the officials. The mini Xylo will only have two rows of seats and hence a maximum seating capacity for five passengers.

This new Mahindra Mini-Xylo with a 5-Speed Manual transmission will feature Independent Coil Springs as well as Multi Link Coil Springs Suspensions in it. This new Mahindra hatchback will also feature Front Disk Brake and Rear Drum Brake. The other notable point is that since this new Mini-Xylo is less than four metres, it will avail the 12 percent duty cut as well.

This new Hatchback, Mahindra Mini-Xylo is expected to be launched by mid-2011 and might have a price tag of around Rs 5 lakhs (ex-showroom Mumbai).
