FAQs

 
  • What is that '1 big' design philosophy which was adopted for Xylo?
    • Driven by our Mantra of Customer Centricity; Xylo has been Co-created with Customers. Understanding & fulfilling the latent needs of our target customers has been the development plank of Xylo. The Project team members have at every stage of the Project interacted with Customers understanding the Value benefit for everything which has gone in the making of the Xylo. The whole approach of designing the vehicle basis an "Inside - Out" philosophy signifies that the Xylo has been crafted around the need of our Customers for a Luxurious, comfortable Car which makes a Style statement which the new age Customer seeks to make. We have followed Global Product development practices like - "QFD" in which Project team members closely interact with Customers backed by a lot of research to understand the un-stated needs of the customers and have subjected all elements thru a "ReFinE" process which helps deliver an emotional connect with the Customer.
  • Why is the Product not being called Ingenio?
    • Ingenio was never to be the Brand name; it was coined as a Project name and was inspired by one of our Customer Centric initiative called "Ingenious Drive" which was at full stream when this Project was announced. Though in case of Scorpio we did continue with the Project name as the Brand name as it made terrific sense in continuing with the Project name given the Product values & positioning. In this case we believe that Xylo has perfect fit with what values the Product would offer to its Customers.
  • What does the new Brand name mean & its significance?
    • Xylo is trendy & contemporary. It has multiple connotations of a Planet, of Space travel, of High Fashion, of Technology & of Melodious sound.
  • What all engines are expected to be offered on Xylo?
    • Mahindra Xylo would be powered by m-Eagle CRDe engine, an engine from NEF CRDe family. This engine has been fine tuned for better drivability and updated with other technological advancements like Hydraulic Lash adjuster and Auto tensioner. 5. What level of testing & validation has been carried on the Xylo?

      For Xylo we did a lot of upfront "Virtual Validation" with over 1500+ CAE simulations for "First Time Right Design & Development". All the lessons learnt from our earlier Projects were also incorporated in the making of the Xylo. This coupled with having World - Class Vendor partners on board early in the Project has helped us develop the Product in a true Global sense. Apart from Virtual Validation we also have tested the vehicles for "Real World Usage Profile" across the world from extensive trials throughout India to South Africa, Germany and many other countries to expose the vehicle to extreme conditions. Over 100 prototype vehicles have covered nearly a million kms of stringent testing & validation.
  • Has Xylo been designed for the Global markets and would it be launched across the World?
    • Xylo has been Co-created with Customers from all the Target countries. Project team members have traveled and conducted over 1100+ customer interactions. Spending a "Day in the Life" of the Customers to understand and deliver the latent needs of the customers. This coupled with Global development practices like QFD supplemented by a ReFinE process have helped us create a true Global vehicle. We are currently evaluating which all markets would we be launching the Xylo in. In overseas markets where we already have a presence, Xylo would definitely help us consolidate our position.
  • How many variants are expected?
    • Xylo is being launched in 4 variants. E2, E4, E6 and E8. The prefix E is drawn from the Engine name m-Eagle.
