Mahindra XUV 500 and Scorpio to receive the Android Auto treatment

One of the largest automotive manufacturers in India, Mahindra & Mahindra, announced earlier today that it would be the first car maker in the country to offer Android Auto in its vehicles.

The company stated that both models of its sports utility SUV, the XUV 500 and Scorpio, will ship with the Android Auto platform on board as stock — so those of you that want it, won’t have to fork out any additional cash for the feature.

“At Mahindra we have always been committed to introducing newer technological offerings in our vehicles in an endeavour to create an enriched user experience and provide better value technologies to our customers,” said Pravin Shah, President and Chief Executive of Mahindra & Mahindra.

“Going forward, after successful integration, we will be offering Android Auto in our flagship models of XUV 500 and the Scorpio as well as on our future platforms.”

For those unaware, Android Auto provides users with in-car access to Google Maps and other specially-adapted Google services via a touchscreen embedded in the vehicle’s centre console.
