Base Model, more waiting time

I booked the Kushaq Base Model Classic Variant almost 2 months ago, still on September 1st, 2024, they said that the company is not producing the cars now, and production has not started yet. So long time waiting even after booked earlier at the Indore location.

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
