महिंद्रा xuv500 [2015-2018] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

Exterior

 This really is a headturner. In the 3 months that I have owned the car, it certainly draws the attention and gets positive comments even from people outside India. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 It is full of so many features that no other SUV comes closure. The new version has better interiors and added features like sun/moon roof. The powered driver seat, best in class music system that doubles up as a navigation tool, cooled compartment for beverages, camera assisted parking and lights that get switched on when you turn the vehicle are just too good. Seating for 4 people is quite comfortable and even 6 to 7 is not a trouble at all.The touch screen interface disappoints at times, especially while using the phone in Bluetooth mode. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Have driven around 1800 km. Engine is quite responsive from 3rd gear on wards. 1st n 2nd is a bit of a lag at times but I guess that can happen to diesel vehicles. On wide open roads, it is a pleasure to drive the Cheetah. Fuel economy on Bangalore roads is around 10 km. Have not travelled log distance so can't comment on the mileage on highways. Gearbox is a little hard and can be better.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Handling even within city limits has been quite good actually. Overall ride quality is good but suspension needs more attention. 

Final Words

If you are looking at buying an SUV for the family, look no further and rely on the Cheetah. my family is quite satisfied with this value for money package. It's a thumbs up to Mahndra for this vehicle.

Areas of improvement  

 Gear box, hand break and the touch screen interface needs more refinement.

It's a car you can rely on as Mahindra is not very good with its market share because of it's continuous failure to deliver what market is demanding but I very much satisfied with my Xuv it's delivered when I demand. The car is equally comfortable. After-sale service is the most important part which is somewhat I am not satisfied. The car looks muscular full points to Mahindra for this.

Bought XUV 500 w10 FWD after lot of research in themonth of march 2016. Its suspension was noisy the day i took the dilivery of veh. I switched over to XUV 500 from scorpio, but feel cheated as it is not a SUV its just a car.

Suspension makes noise with small speed breakers or path holes. its not ment for offroading at all. I feel cheated by Mahindra as this is my fourth veh from mahindra stable. the first one was jeep in 1982, then bolero followed by scorpio which i just disposed off. With that kind of association and love for SUV, I upgraded to XUV 500 w10. thinking that by now all initial issues must have been shorted out. if anybody wants to by I am ready sell. its a march 2016 model kilometer done 12000. pearl white color. Moreover my complains have gone unheard. the company is not responding.

looksvery poor suspension.

Exterior It looks very like a urban suv. beautiful and muscular design. very attractive.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) When you get into the cabin of xuv, you will feel like you are no sitting in suv which is cost overt 20 lacs. Fit and finish is cheap. Plastic quality is just okay, not acceptable for car of price of this. Seat are comfortable, but ride quality is not good compared to other rivals like CRYSTA,HEXA and COMPASS. You can feel bumps on bad roads. But its safe car too.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performance is awesome. but other rivals offers more power and they performs excellent.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is good but poor ride quality. you can be tortured on bad road in this SUV.

Final Words It was value for money product,but at present it is not a value for money.  GO FOR INNOVA CRYSTA, TATA HEXA, JEEP COMPASS.

Areas of improvement INTERIORS, CABIN NOISE, SUSPENSION, RIDE QUALITY, FIT AND FINSH, AND BUILD QUALITY.

The xuv500 is best car in budget but the problem arrises after 70000-80000kms After that the vechile start shrinking if it goes to 140-150speed Maintainence is not too much So overall the car is good but not for more than 1lakh kms I already have the both the xuv the new one and old one which is driven 40000kms in 2.5years after that i have to sell the older one because the problem in car arrises after that now i have the new xuv which is driven 85000km in 3years and now problem start arrising in new one also Resale of xuv is also good.

No dought this machine is really cheetah speed and power and driving experience is extremely experienced really good products and value for money car in this segments I purchase in 2016 to currently are very happy And service center is rating four out of five

Smooth timely delivery, Good pickup and comfortable driving, Driving feature, sunroof, sporty look Average service cost can say 1.8 rs add to yr running cost, at 20k per yr running, Last row seat is meaningless, music system not so good, it should have a connection facility with wifi

Exterior It is perfect with all aspects. Quite stylish

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) It is spacious enough. All essential features are present with comfortable sittings. Enoughhhhhh legroom so you can stretch all the way.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This is the most impressive engine I have driven so far within this segment. Quiter, smoother and all just on a quick note. Fuel economy is good with compared to its competetiors. Gearbox is literally very smooth feals life feather touch.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality and handing is awesome. I usually drive on a high speed. I have tested this SUV and found it very much impressive with no complain at all. 

Final Words I am very much curious about the cars. I have heard many negative reviews of this SUV before purchasing it. I found it good in test drive and later when I purchased, I found that I didn't make a mistake at all. I have driven 46000Kms so far and found no problem. The main key of any vehicle is its maintenance and service. Its service is not costly at all. If you have spent 20lakhs for a SUV then would you mind to spend 2K without oil change and around 10k with oil change???

This is very impressive and smooth vehicle and overall its really having value for your hard earned money.

Areas of improvement NA.

Looks, performance, stability, comfortNothing till 46000Kms

Exterior Good and stylish. cheetah look is elegant.  good good good good good good good good

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good. But there are so many unwanted noise which irritate. plastic parts quality is too bad.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gearbox, clutch and whel drum bad quality. I have changed gearbox in 25000 km. clutch plate fail maintance cost is too high.

Ride Quality & Handling Good but there is noise always comes from all doors, seats , desk. 

Final Words NOT RIGHT CHOICE.

Areas of improvement Noise should not come, engine performance should be better. Noise come from rear wheel that should not come. So finally says engine peformance should be good.

I have purchsed this car in november 2015. After purchasing car in every one month I have to put my car in work shop due to some problems. Dealer feedback is good but from company side I would like to say not proper response. Even if I have purchased top model of XUV 500, there is always some complains is there. So in short I would like to say it is not right choice. as value of money you should go with some other companies like Toyota, Hyundai. even there cost is high but you will get good product, good engine performance.

Good stylePoor engine performace, bad plastic parts
