महिंद्रा xuv500 [2011-2015] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

Buying Experience was good and riding experience is aslo preety good..look was eye catchin when it was launched. But comfort level can be improved...suspension is stiff, fuel economy is good i am getting 13km/h in city. Service cost is also not so cheap. Service centre have also need improvement. Last thing car is good but resale value is a concern. Overall you can go for this.

Exterior It looks like brother of Xylo

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) It has good features but dont knw how many days will they work.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good. Gear boxis little sluggish

Ride Quality & Handling Good.

Final Words Car is average

Areas of improvement The problems I have noticed in first 3months.

Cheap quality of platics, Car Left head lamp was focusing downwards, some part inside bonnet got broken by itself, without any accident.  Left wiper is not standing erect when you manually wipe the front glass. I dont know, how many days it will work without any hassels.

Intially service center guys said that it needs to be replaced on customers cost.. But since I insisted them to replace and it was just 3 months.. THey have replaced them approx. it is costing rs17000.

Mahindra should improve the quality of spares. I think it is better to purchase Innova than taking the XUV to service centers..If you have enough money to spend the goodies.. THen it is good car to go with :)

Looks, Ride quality for long drives, InfotainmentPoor quality of Plastics and materials

Exterior Ok.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Cheap plastic, poor color, poor carpet, cheap plastic shines during day, you can't drive, it reflects sunlight.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Feels you are driving a tractor, Feels driving a tractor, with hood, nosy, bumpy drive, so much down market, cheap.

Ride Quality & Handling Poor, ride quality, shockers are that of tractor, have not made much progress from tractor maker.

Final Words Poor plastic interior, horrible color combination, change your designer, Poor cheap interior, dashboard is so down market can't read signs, horrible interior color, poor mileage, nosy, no class at all.

Areas of improvement Change cheap plastic interiorinterior, cheap plastic, horrible color, poor brakes, poor speakers, seems they picked from Chinese market, sound quality so so so poor and horrible, just waste of money, pls use better standard product, stop cheating ppl, you will tired tired of service station visit. Look and Style front grill is over worked, interior is so down market, so cheap, just can't get the designers involved, seem sitting inside village bus, pls use better plastic and pls change color. Speakers are cheap chinese product, just cheap, Comfort bumpy, poor ride quality.

The interior color is so down market, can't get why the interior is just poor color combination. spending just few hundred u can improve. Pls get rid of cheap shinny plastic, the competition is tough. Pickup ok, but still feel I am driving a tractor.

Mileage city mileage is 9 not 12, Best Features space second row, Needs to improve - plastic color, interior color. It is down market, cheap.

Overall Experience Please change PLASTIC QUALITY of interior, if you drive in highways on a sunny day can't drive due to sunlight reflection. also change the Cheap interior color it just downgrades the entire vehicle. Please these are small things high time to address it.

Poor plasticHorrible interior color

The Xuv 500 from Mahindra is very utility with bit of luxury car. It is extremely spacious in comparison to its competitors especially in terms of last seat and the boot space as well as the leg space for each individual. The added features in the car gives you purely a luxury feel, the auto start and stop button, touch LCD panel. One of the main things that attracts me is the view that the driver receives while driving.. It makes you feel more confident. The only con that I believe is regarding the service of the car.. You frequently need to get the service done.

Exterior

 Love the styling. I got a white one and it looks beautiful.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Tons of advanced features. NAV is very useful. Can use some UI improvement though. I wish there was a way to turn off the infotainment display. Auto wipers and lights makes life easy. Lots of storage compartments.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 This is the best part. You can feel the power when you overtake trucks on highways. Fuel economy is better thah an Innova. I still have some issues in the 2nd gear. Engine stalls.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Good quality ride. It drives more like a car. At times high acceleration can swerve the vehicle to the side because of the engine torque.

Final Words

 So far so good. Did 4000km in less than 2 months and love it so far. Only issue so far is thwe tiretronics malfunction.

Areas of improvement  

 Interiors need to be less plasticy. Ability to turn off infotainment display. Slightly more boot space.
