Exterior AWSMMM NO SUV BELOW 15LKH BEAR STYLING LIKE THIS, OUTSTANDING. FOG LAMPS ARE AMAZING.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) DRIVING SEAT IS TOO GOOD.U CANT B BORED OF DRIVING. I DROVE 800 KMS FROM DEOGHAR TO PATNA AND THEN RANCHI TO DEOGHAR(BIHAR ND JHARKHAND). IT WAS A AWSMM EXPERIENCE. SOUND SYSTEM SO GOOD, U WILL NEVER GET BORED INSIDE OF VEHICLE. EVERY PART SAYS ABOUT NEAT WORK AND EQUIPPED WITH MODERN TECHNOLOGY. HILL DECENT AND HILL ACENT IS ALSO GUD, REACHED TOP SPEED 200KM/HR.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox ITS AMAZING AGAIN 140 BHP IS NT A LITTLE THING. MOST OF THE TIME  WE HAV 2 TRAVEL ON DUSTY ROAD AS IT PERFORMED VERY WELL. GEAR BOX IS NOT SO AS MANY PEOPLE ARE BLAMING THAT. JUST LIKE SCORPIO AND FAR BETTER THN SAFARIII. ON ROUGH ROADS WHERE U HAV TOCHANGE GEARS THOROUGHLY I GOT MILEAGE OF 14 AND ON SMOOTH HIGHWAY IT WAS 16 AS DISPLAYED BY THE MONITOR.

Ride Quality & Handling AWSMM STEERING CONTROL AND GRIP. CRUISE CONTROL IS ALSO GUD AND HIL DESCNT-ASCNT WORKS GUD. I M 21 YEARS MBBS 1ST YEAR N MY FATHER IS ALSO DOCTOR. EARLY WE R OWNING SAFARI AND SCORPIO 2 BT XUV IS FAR BETTER THAN THEMM. WE HAVE ALSO TRIED SERIOUS OFFROADING BUT XUV IS UPTO D MARKK. SATISFIED 100%.

The exterior of the vehicle is very manly and dangerous. But I think the Mahindra company, has spent all its energry on exteriors and looks. Its not even two months since the car was purchased, the car has started to give me all sorts of problems with the luxury items of the car like navigation and bluetooth system malfunctioning. When I contacted the Mahindra people to rectify the problem they said that the car would have to be sent to the service station, without even listening to the problem that I am facing. So I fixed the appointment, but the next day they said that the car cannot be accepted at the service station for the simple reason that there was some short circuit in their service station. But just mentioned to get the car after diwali holidays. The audasity of the people is such that when I requested them to try to send the car to the other service station they simply refused that and hung up the call.

I would suggest to the people that think properly and sincerly and long enough before buying the car. Because when you buy Mahindra car, these defects come along with the car, whether you like it or not.

Exterior looks, feel, features, speedInfotainment system, bad behavior, service, and post sale follow up

Copy of my experience as a communication sent to customer care is as follows:

I have been struggling to fix the following problem with your local dealer ever since I purchased the vehicle and started using.

1. The problem with the vehicles break and lack of its application while driving at higher speed.

2. The issue related to the suspension as reported earlier.  While driving on interior roads, the driving experience is worse than sitting in a truck as far as suspension goes.

3. The noise level of the vehicle in the engine chamber also can be compared with a big truck.  I have not bothered to see the lower fuel efficiency being achieved even though regularly driving out of city.

In my first service during March 2012, the above problems were reported in writing but G3 motors were not bothered to respond.

During 10000 KM service, we were told that the new break system is under development and they will fit this during 20000 KM service.  

During 20000 KM service, they changed some bushing on suspension and the vehicle was running smooth for next 3000 KM and came back to its original "horrible" condition.

My car bearing registration number MH 43 AJ XXXX is with G3 Motors since past 15 days.  

When the vehicle was reported to have done the service, I personally went for a trial and was surprised to note that there was no Service Engineer available for a joint trial of the car and a driver was sent along with me for trial.  Its almost like talking to a wall.

When it comes to the service, the tall claims of customer satisfaction is only in the papers.  I have been refraining from reporting my complaints to Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., expecting a minimum concern from the Dealer but see nothing moves.

My driven has been told that the vehicle needs to be inspected by Mahindra's Engineer and then only they can comment on this.  Why such thing should take so long time and why should I not claim damage and mental agony being extended to me during the ownership of this vehicles?

I wish someone could walk the talk of customer satisfaction on this case before I am forced to take the vehicle out to the street and set it on fire to tell the world that "enough is enough".

With regards

Balasubrahmanian.

Good looking.Fox in the guise of a sheep when it comes to technical issues.

Exterior Good, looks classy.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Excellant, good upholstery.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The front suspension is horrible, makes a rumbling noise,have sent the vehichle to the showroom 4 times for the same problem, everytime been given lame excuses like its a mono cork body etc. I have driven other xuv 500 but the problem is only with my car. The other vehichle i drove had gear box and clutch problems. Nobody cares to rectify my problems despite several complaints. Recently tried to contact the area manger, still no response. Ive bought this car from Ralas motors, Raipur CG. Fuel economy i was told would be min 14, unfortunately im gettin around twelve.

Ride Quality & Handling Average, suspension dosent seem to be stable. dont go by the exteriors and interiors, gear box and suspension is like a bolero and not a high end car.

Final Words Will never suggest anybody to buy this Car. Not value for Money. Its like a 5 lac Car.

Areas of improvement Improve on customer service, there is nobody to look into the problems and everytime some lame excuse is given. Dealer network is not good at all.

Good style, good interiors, upholstery is goodSuspension and Gear Box is horrible

I’m writing to inform all of  you what a honorific  negative experience I had on 28th September when I bought XUV 500 W8 From K.S.Automobile , Udaipur

First When I shown interest in the XUV ( No loan-self payment in one go) The sales team Mr Ujjwak and Navin not went after me came down to my house  but When I paid full amount - gone missing and not even a call back only when I wrote a mail the reply was " I will check and come back" from a person who claimed to be the one point contact from KS automobile.

 

Second Mr. Ujjwal and his senior Mr navin when asked for the price Pretended of  utmost seriousness and as if they have gone to all seniors and scenarios quoted me prices saying THIS ARE SPECIAL PRICES ONLY WORKED OUT FOR YOU . second when I asked Is there going to be any price off/ discounts/offer before 30th Sept as sheathes getting over  his revert was " ABSOLUTELY NOT , RATHER THEIR WILL BE PRICE INCREASE) - But very third day my staff brought my attention to advt in local paper by Mahindra showing rs 44K off !!!!  and I was given price offer ;less than this and EXCLUSIVE offer ??? something which was offered to very one. When confronted They started  giving all reasons and rationales but no explanation for unethical and misleading practice of all . What more when I demanded to see Mr parhar the promoter of  KS automobile /Mahindra He WITHOUT EVEN LISTENING ME COMES out and start defending his staff misdeeds.

Worst . I bought almost 16 lac vehicle from their And THERE WAS NO ONE WHO COULD EXPLAIN ME THE FEATURES , when I asked Mr Ujjwal why he can't explain me features his answer " I have low BP"  I can't explain . In handing over note where they listed 20 plus checklist - I wrote 80 % no on handing over from NO explanation of features -  NO ONE BOTHERED TO COME FOR HELP THEY THROWN ONE BOXX OF SWEETS , SOME MOMENTO AS IF GET OUT OF HERE WE ALREADY SOLD YOU VEHICEL AND MADE OUR MONEY.

Mr Parhiar ALSO HAD GUTS to tell ME  if you want we can let you talk to Mahindra on Price offers , means even company is also partner in this crime of misrepresenting facts, cheating customers and then unethically trying to prove they are writ by working backwards and trying to prove that they  are innocent . Even if you take all their figures on face value they couldn't explain 44 vs. 30 K difference.

 

My advice to anyone who is buying vehicle go to any other brand  but not this one unless you are ready to face humiliation , ignorance and  totally lack of service post purchase.

 

If any of you want to see my credential can check my website  www.sheikharif.com   all my life I  wrote books , visited top B school teaching students about integrity and honesty and here I have seen a company with full of shallow Values  , I admit good product but very questionable ethics.

If Mr Anand Mahindra want to build his company around this value .

 

God bless him

.

I feel very disappointed with this interaction,

I  still would like this situation to be resolved so I can continue to  trust others.

I believe  this is not the way That Awful Company wishes to conduct business with valued customers—I have been with many other companies who sold cars to me  and have never encountered such treatment before. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss matters further and to learn of how this company  propose to prevent a similar situation from recurring with others. I look forward to hearing from  any one in Mahindra who actually resolve this issue without getting in Process of justifying these actions in the weal of fake arguments

 

Good featuresNo one will explain you these features

Exterior

 exterior of the car is just brilliant, perfect thing to ride on urban roads. No one see it just once..! you need to get used to tht kind of attention and respect on road

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 features like Satellite navigation makes ur ride even more hassle free,

static bending lamps makes ur night drive even more safer,

ABS,ESP, Auto wipers make ur drive euqally good while keeping ur vehicle in ur control firmly,

both front and back rows have soo much leg room and seat are cosy,

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 keeping the cheetah in control is the fun part. press the accelerator and feel the Turbo power instantly.

Ride Quality & Handling

 keep driving for hours but with no fatique, handling is equally good.

Final Words

 If u are looking for an SUV with 100% value for ur money, then ur search must end with XUV500

Areas of improvement  

 if at all anythg can be pointed out then, suspension and brakes can be improved.

ride quality is unmatched,fuel economy-16kmpl for speeds of 80-100kmph,styling is awesomesuspension could have been better, hard braking may give some sound.

Exterior

 Very good looking from outside . Head lights that glow when you turn this vehicle are very very innovative and useful. Other manufacturers  surely will follow this in their vehicles.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Very very good. Good space only the third row seats would have been better if they would have been a bit wider and more leg space. Its is more useful for children. Previously I was having a Toyota Innova, whose third lrow seat was very confortable for adults also.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Good piuck up (0-100 in less than a minute)as tested by myself. I am getting a fuel economy of 13 - 14 kmpl. Overall nothing to complain . 

Ride Quality & Handling

Very very stable at a speed of  150 kmph ( I drove it at that average speed on NH-5, from srikakulam to Bhubaneswar). And here it out performs ( my previously owned) Innova which vibrates at a speed of 120-130 kmph.

The only second thing to complain (first thing being the third row seat) is its shock absorbers which are very hard in comparison to Toyota Innova . If the shock absorbers are smooth and sensitive then I will say this the Audy Q series for me (as can not afford to one )  and I can overlook the third row seat which is rarely used

 

Final Words

 except for the shock abservers it is the best value for money . My friend call it China Audi  for the down to earth pricing with so many features.

Areas of improvement  

 

 

Good style, fuel economy, pickup, very stable at a speed of 150 kmph (tested myself)Shock absorbers are very hard, so it vibrates badly in bumpy roads. It should be soft

Exterior Easily the best looking SUV on Indian roads, Buy one with darker shade and have chrome kit installed.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Best and spacious, but third row is best for kids. Go for darker interiors.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Brilliant ! It is a performance machine. Great pickup, good for city drive and unmatched for long drives espeically when the roads are bad. Mileage varies around 11 to 15 depending on how you drive and whether it is city or highway. Gear box is smooth and has a nice chunky feel to it and sifts smoothly.

Ride Quality & Handling Really nice. Suspension is good and it feels like a Volvo bus. You don't feel bumps and pot holes. It erms of driving it is what every man should want.. absolute power.

Final Words If you want to own an SUV with not compromise at a decent price. XUV 500!

Areas of improvement Mileage i wish clocked to 17 kmpl.
