I have owned my Rexton for approximately a year. Initial impressions are that it is very comfortable, solid, smooth, refined and nimble . The suspension copes well with all surfaces and handling is excellent for a large vehicle. Seats are comfortable and the driving position and general ergonomics are very good. We test drove the main competitors and came to the conclusion that the Rexton performed better in most key performance criteria (for me this was mechanical refinement, ride, handling and standard of finish) and was unbeatable in value for money criterion. I test drove a Rs.31 lacs ( On road)Pajero and in my opinion there is little difference in general performance. At sub Rs.25 Lacs ( On road)it is an exceptional vehicle and has the balance and poise of a substantially more expensive vehicle.
The only thing holding back sales of this vehicle is poor or non-existent promotion and marketing and unjustified consumer and 'journalistic' prejudice. Do yourself a favour and test drive with an open mind, you may be surprised.Mahindra guys please wake up.
Engine is a dream; smooth, powerful and efficient - great towing vehicle. Very competent at high speed and overtaking. Excellent handling and maneuverability along with a lack of rattles and solid off-raod performance.
