With the increasing hostility towards the diesel engines, more and more manufacturers have started promoting petrol motors. Following suit, Mahindra & Mahindra is also going to bring a petrol variant of their XUV500. The petrol XUV500 will be sold under the ‘G’ series moniker and will be offered in a single variant initially which has been named G9. The new petrol engine has underpinnings of the mHawk series of diesel engines which are fitted on other Mahindra SUVs as well.
