NEW DELHI — Mahindra & Mahindra has launched a new variant of the Xylo with a heart transplant. Christened the Xylo D2, the mini MPV gets a 2.5-liter turbodiesel engine that combines M&M's direct-injection and common-rail diesel technology. It's on display at the 2010 New Delhi Auto Show.
The four-cylinder mDI CRDe engine delivers 95 horsepower, which is 17 hp less than the existing Xylo. Torque also has gone down a fraction, to 159 pound-feet.
The Xylo D2 is available only with black bumpers. There are no significant changes on the outside to differentiate it from the existing Xylo. Interiors remain the same, and the D2 will have seating options for seven or eight passengers.
With just one variant on offer and retailing at $15,950, the D2 will be available in three colors — Gold Shimmer, Mist Silver and Fiery Black.

Inside Line is quickly becoming a timeline of the history of the Indian automobile evolution. You guys should print all your Indian related articles and bind it in a book. You'd sell millions in India I'm sure.
