Looks like the oddly named XUV 500 from Mahindra is off to a flying start. In the six days following its launch the vehicle has received more than five thousand bookings and the rumour mill doing the rounds is that certain variants which have seen great demand will see suspension of bookings for a while. The XUV500 has been the most anticipated vehicle from Mahindra and is its vehicle with global ambitions. Mahindra have plans of taking this SUV to different parts of the world, a process already begun by the launch of the vehicle in South Africa.
