SCOOP! Mahindra XUV500 2.2 petrol in the works

&lt;p class=&#39;new-pare-p&#39;&gt;Mahindra has been developing a petrol engine for its XUV500 SUV. The petrol engine will be based on the same engine block that is the foundation of the mHawk 2.2-litre diesel engine. While power figures are unknown, the new 2.2-litre petrol engine will have a choice between a manual and an automatic transmission. Sources tell us that the upcoming petrol XUV500 will only be available in a new G-spec variant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&#39;ad-section&#39;&gt;&lt;amp-ad width=&#39;300&#39; height=&#39;250&#39; type=&quot;doubleclick&quot; data-slot=&quot;/22022473756/autocarindia/&quot; json=&#39;{&quot;targeting&quot;:{&quot;pos&quot;:[&quot;amp2&quot;],&quot;kwd&quot;:[&quot;scoop,mahindra xuv500,petrol,mhawk&quot;],&quot;make&quot;:[&quot;Mahindra&quot;],&quot;model&quot;:[&quot;XUV500&quot;]}}&#39; data-enable-refresh=&#39;30&#39;&gt;&lt;/amp-ad&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p class=&#39;new-pare-p&#39;&gt;A left-hand drive &amp;ndash; allegedly, petrol-powered &amp;ndash; test mule with an automatic transmission &lt;a href=&quot;https://forum.autocarindia.com/index.php?/topic/10504-pics-special-edition-mahindra-xuv500/#comment-169433&quot;&gt;was spotted&lt;/a&gt; in Dubai a couple of months ago. The manufacturer will launch the facelift for the XUV500 with the same mHawk 2.2-litre diesel engine but with 170hp, a 30hp increase over the current engine. The petrol engine is likely to join thereafter.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&#39;new-pare-p&#39;&gt;The petrol XUV500 will directly rival the newly launched Jeep Compass.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&#39;new-pare-p&#39;&gt;A Scorpio facelift is also coming soon and depending on the response to the petrol XUV500, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/mahindra-plans-major-product-offensive-405047&quot;&gt;Mahindra will also offer the Scorpio with same motor&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
