Exterior Looks good and you can see people are stopping thier vehicle to take a look of yours. Red color is specially great. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I did pre-booking, but decided to go with 8 seater. So have to wait for sometime to get my car. They have changed interior which is better than previous version, but you still feels it should have been better as this is what you will be driving for next 10-15 years. 

Another thing i found annoying was lack of storage space. There is almost no storgae pockets provided in car and even side pockets are not accesible while driving. Mahindra should imprve on this in next revision. With 8 seater, leg room in middle and lower benches is OK. But in long drive it is comfortable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Have driven only 500 kms till now. Engine is somewhat noisy till 3rd gear, but once you reach in 4/5 gear you get a very smooth ride. Fuel economy i am getting is arround 12.5 in city with AC on, which is what i expected. Gearbox is somewhat bigger than my previous car (ford figo), so took sometime to get adjusted.

Ride Quality & Handling As I mentioned earlier, that car is pretty smooth while drving in 4/5 gear. But in city traffic you mostly do not get chance to drive on it, so it feels heavy. Body roll is still there, but quite reduced as compared to older one.

Final Words With few limitations (lack of storage space, not smooth drive in lower gear), i love my new car. this is my third car and i never felt so proud and happy about my car. Attention you get on road increases this. Plus high ride expecirece which you do not get in many so called SUVz(like Dustur) is something which makes your ride much easirer.

Areas of improvement Lack of storage space, drving experience in lower gear.
