My buying experience was good at punjagutta, Hyderabad. Driving experience was good, enthusiastic and went more and more miles.
Looks pretty good but the rear part would have not chopped, but its disappointing that M&M removed full tail lamp on rear door for my W6 variant.
i just marked 10100 kms so had only few servicing which is pretty normal.
Pros:
1) You are owning a PRO vehicle in the segment. No doubt which I felt after comparing it to rivals
2) The boxy Suvish makes the bold appeal. earlier I liked Ecosport but later after my test drive i understood my needs are fullfilled in this vehicle so i booked after 5 days :-). Nexon diesel is good but still I feel the same premium big hatchback feeling in it that lowered my thrill.
3) Fuel Economy in city I get 15 to 18 km/l based upon traffic and in Highways i get 20.5 to 21.5 KMPL with AC@ 1500-2000 rpm Tank to Tank for last 3 consecutive road trips. I enjoy the 300NM torque at few overtakes but my maximum speed is limited upto 100kmph. i wonder the ARAI score is 20kmpl which is tested at 31kmph or say 90kmph but this XUV has low fuel efficient in Lower gears 1-2-3.
4)AC is powerful .
Cons;
1) Few features are deleted and Price increase are made during my delivery 8th April'21.
2) Position of AC vents at center are not appropriate, Mahindra need to check since the blower faces to driver & passenger which is not directly to rear side/between. however it cools within 5 minutes.
3)M&M shall provide Projector halogen with DRL in head light for its better user friendly and the Parcel Tray need to be provided even i spent 12 lakhs for w6 variant.
4)Rear camera should have been provided to the OEM touch screen as an Accessory(basic now a days-cheap idea or differentiating the variants) which is again a Rear wiper is not provided.
4)What made M&M not given any provision or user friendly for Cruise control option which is enabled in Hyundai and Tata cars
Verdict: My expectations fulfilled during the driving but the features are not appropriate as per the price. Honestly its a Power machine with space comfort and safety.
