Awesome VFM SUV regardless of reviews out there

Exterior I must say Mahindra have done a great job with this vehicle. I am bouwled over by the looks and is completely Indian. Proud of it. Bought on 13/7/2014.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Lots of bits and spaces,a lot of thought put into the vehicle like the individual reading lights for all passengers, rear charging points, rear ac controls for the last row, cooled underarm storage space, even the vanity mirror on the passenger side has a slider which has an individual light for the ladies. Wow bowled over.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox A powerful 140 bhp quiet engine powers the cheetah inspired SUV.

Ride Quality & Handling Wish the suspension was a little better.But given the SUV character, its fine. Maybe an adjustable suspenson in the future XUVs Mahindra? I have driven the vehicle at 170 kmpl and it goes further but there are no roads and given the Indian traffic better not to venture higher. The XUV gives out a warning overspeed beep at 150 Kmpl. I am just loving the experience.

Final Words I have heard people just looking down on the vehicle without using it. God knows I havent found a single person recommending the XUV 500. The new XUV 500 has been revised after Nov 13 and is a complete trouble free vehicle my friends.I have a lot of inputs from friends in Mahindra. Look at it . How can't one appreciate this Global Indian SUV. I dont understand. A huge thumbs up for this giant of a SUV.

Instead of spending loads on a Audi,BMW or Merc and letting foreigners dwindle out of your hard earned money, I wish more perople appreciate companies like Mahindra to go the extra distance and built more Made in India super cars and vehicles. With it we grow.I am a completely satisfied customer.

Areas of improvement Negligible. U cant have it all . I love what they have done here.

One area might be more trailing at the ASS level. They need to be more polished and precise somewhere like Toyota. Way ahead compared to Tata anyways.

Good presence, quiet engine and solid buildLack of proper after sales service options
