Would not recommend XUV 500 W4

<p><strong>Exterior </strong><strong>Good, looks similar to the other varients.</strong></p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort) </strong><strong>Interiors are pathetic. Feels very low end and no value for money.</strong></p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox </strong>Humming noice wile driving, gives 8-9 kmpl in traffic.</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling</strong> Not bad.</p> <p><strong>Final Words</strong> XUV 500 W4 - It looks similar to the W6 and W8 externally, except for features that it doesn't come with - like alloy wheels, foglamps etc. The biggest setback is the W4 interiors. Dashboard area around the music system has poor finish and poor quality plastic. It's definitely a put off. Fabric seat covers are of sub-standard quality. What's worse is the fact that there are no accessories available for the W4 - Accessories like fog lamps, reverse camera, reverse sensors, DVD player doesn't exist with Mahindra. Once you sit inside the W4 you realize that it's no value for money. I won't recommened the&nbsp;W4 to anyone&nbsp;willing to spend&nbsp;13.5 lacs, there are options with better features available in the market.</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement</strong> Mahindra will need to make accessories available for W4, especially to cover up the shoddy&nbsp;interiors. Eg: Music system console, DVD player, Reverse camera, Reverse sensor, Fog lamps etc.</p>ExteriorInterior
