I purchased W8 petrol "pearl white" colour XUV300 on March 29th in one of the showrooms of Automotive Manufacturing pvt Ltd at Hyderabad.
As usual being a new and high demand vehicle I didn't get any discount or complimentary from the showroom or for that matter from M &M.
I almost drove this car for 600km within couple of days after purchase and I really amazed with its performance and pick up. Initially I have some doubts whether 1.2L engine will have that much claimed power and pick up. One can feel the safety and it's sturdiness while driving this car. Steering, clutch and break are well designed and very smooth, effortless to handle.One movement of time I thought of waiting for auto gear transmission (AMT) but after driving this car i have no regrets with manual transmission vehicle. Mileage also to my my surprise 15.6KM/L before first service. Trust me I really enjoyed its pick up and drive quality, I drove on the NH7 with full seating capacity with 100km/h, no jerks so stable. Being a petrol car no noise,and its a/c is also good enough in the hot summer (40degC). External looks are superb however internal things need some modifications especially white interiors are not so attractive moreover maintenance point of view also not a good choice.
Not yet gone for servicing so I don't know how service costs will be for this new vehicle.Overall,well designed and nicely equipped vehicle with lot of in built power boost so one can enjoy the riding of this rock star.
PROS: Power,drive quality, external appearance, wide range wheel base, mileage, safety features.
CONS: Interior color choice ( white), boot space, cost,
