Nightmare called Mahindra E20

Exterior Exterior is the only good thing about this car. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very claustrophobic. AC does not reach the back. AC is very noisy. Power upgrade was poorly done. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Nothing to mention. Ride Quality & Handling Turning radius is good. Final Words Do not buy - The battery is really bad. Mahindra gives 5 year warranty, all they do is some nonsense called power boost the cells which are not charging. I have had 3 breakdowns thrice in the middle of the night.  My car is 3.5 years old. It has run 39 Kms. I have spent 8 lakhs. It is nothing but a security Hazard. As a women driver - I think it is very risk especially if you are someone who drives back late from work Areas of improvement Attitude towards customers sucks, Insensitive Service Centre, Battery Warranty is all Sham. Till not they have not got their charging ecosystem right. They have not given the portable battery after 3.8 years till now. They just cheat.Its quiet, smooth driveBattery lets you down. The service is horrible. Senior team is very insensitive - customer UNfriendl

Very nice car

1. Buying experience very good 2. Driving experience good 3. Details about looks performance etc good 4. Service and maintenance good and 5. Pros and cons ok good car

Mahindra e2o Plus First Drive Review

By Abhishek Nigam21 Oct 2016

Mahindra launched the e2o in 2013 and projected it as the ultimate city commuter that not only saves fossil fuels but is also cheaper to run and saves the environment by being a non-polluting vehicle. However with a price of Rs. 5.96 lakh, it was too less a car with too big a price. Practicality was an issue too with limited range and just a 2 door version available which meant ingress and egress was a pain.

Top 5 hatchbacks we tested in 2022

Hatchbacks are compact enough to use comfortably in the urban environment, convenient, easy to park and relatively more efficient and low on maintenance. Now that we are well into the new year, let’s take a look back at all the hatchbacks that got our attention during the last calendar year.
