Mahindra XUV500 [2011-2015] User Reviews

Exterior COOL is the word... for exteriors.. Gives competition to Fortuner which is 10 L costlier than this one.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features - Cool, Space - oK oK. COMFORT - Ok Ok, Interior quality - Not upto the mark... Cheap and poor quality plastic, noise coming from doors, dashboard, brakes after 1000 kms of driving in test drive vehicles does not sound good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox  Average pick-up.. Fuel economy yet to be tested. Claims to be around 12 KMPL.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is average on city roads, yet to be tested on highways at 120+ speed.

Final Words Value for money. What else can one expect for a 12~14 L vehicle SUV. Looks compensate for every shortcoming in the vehicle. A must buy for all people having this budget and taste of SUV.

Areas of improvement Plastic quality in interior, noisy interior needs to be taken care offf.

Looks, Looks and Looks.., And obviously the price..Interior plastic quality, Noise levels, Door, Brake etc were also making noise while taking test dri

 Hey... As an mahindra xuv500 owner from feb2012. bought an xuv500 on feb 2012 i had an problem with brakes, went to the dealer he told me some brakes RND is still going on for XUV500. then i got in touch with SANJOY GUPTA (VP) CUSTOMER CARE. As i mailed him the problem iam facing was a grinding noise when i apply brakes. the answer he gave me was SIR PLEASE BEAR WITH US. As the RND team is still working on brakes with the team of BOSH. Now it is four months and till date there is no response from any person. really upset please i have a request to all my dear friends please dont see money if u are paying less for this car you are getting bulk of pain for you trust me please avoide go for innova awsome car.

 

good stylebad very very very bad brakes

Excellent performance with its mHAWK140 engine, awesome pickup, good Spacing with Seats, 3rd row spacing is quiet conjusted, A/C for 2nd row doesnt gets cooling as front and back row.

And the major draw back is, the ICY BLUE LOUNGE in w10 should be available in W8 also, but itsnt.

And the problem with the DISPLAY is. The vehicle gives 11kmpl-12kmpl but in FUEL ECONOMY its just 10.1kmpl.

A/C isnt spreads to the hole space. He is 18 MONTHS old and even survived the FLOOD. Still he is the KING. The most loved one is the SENSORS. Everything is pakka with ths 140bhp beast.

And the little drawback is The 2nd row isnt ADJUSTABLE as the last and front row. The service here in pallavram and Ambattur is really good and intreacts with the customers in a friendly manner and also helps the customers.

Since its HYDRAULIC clutch the travel of the clutch is too far i.e the relaesing of the clutch is half the normal release of other cars and in RUNNING TRAFFIC its little difficult to HOLD the clutch for  long time.

1.Excellent performance with its mHAWK140 engine 2.Awesome pickup 3. Good Spacing with Seats1. 3rd row spacing is quiet conjusted 2. A/C for 2nd row doesnt gets cooling as front and back row.

Riding experience: In driving Seat I feel very comfortable and it's a very good car
Servicing and maintenance: The XUV 500 maintenance is little bit high but in performance it is excellent

Exterior of the vehicle is good and is having an impact when you see for the first time. But watch out folks you can get fooled. the vehicle only looks good with curves and chrome accesories . there is nothing else which should excite you baotu the vehicle. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The front row is having comfort line so is the second row but nt at all the third row. there is very less space and you cannot place enough luugage also. you will have to put a carrier on roof like taxi walas.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is so so . there is no appeal if you compare with others.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is fine on plain roads but if you are thinking to take it for offroading then its a big no no. the vehicle stands no chance in offroad . its no worth talking about it in offroads.

Final Words Mahindra is known for the superior built quality and stableness which is lacking in the car. mahindra is known for suvs but this is not worth mahindra. expectations are really high from mahindra in the field. Its a big no.

Areas of improvement The interior quality should has been better. The suspenison problem , the brake noise this all should be overcomed.

the vehicle has good looks and is appealing with chrome accessoriessuspension problem,braking noise

Xuv was one of the best decision i have ever taken.The car keeps surprising me even now.The driving experience is awesome.The minus would be the long gear throws but power delivery is just mwwuah.Coming to interiors, bits of cheap plastics are a huge let down but console looks great.The leather is of high quality and the seat supports are great.Brakes are one of the biggest negative aspect of the car. Feels like there should have been more oomph while you hard brake.The other negative aspects are the blinding A pillar and boot space. Coming to the positive, first thing that comes to mind is the rear of this car.It looks fabulous. Tire life depends on your driving. I was able to juice out around 80k on the first set of tyres.Pretty good huh,The regular wheel alignment and balancing helped me in it.Servicing overall is good.Maintenance i would say is cheap, compared to other huge cars. Even the minor dent jobs or scratch paintwork costs just 1k-2k.Parts are less costly Lastly but not least,this is a car is a keeper. ??

Exterior Good looks.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very spacious and comfortable, execpt for the last row seat it's ment for kids.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel performance is good I have got an average of +15 Km/l on long trips.

Ride Quality & Handling Excelent. Has a bit of problem while brakeing so went to G3 motors and they were kind enough to get my front brake pads changed for a new design.

Final Words We are very happy with the XUV and have done 3 trips to Goa nad back to mumbai and have enjoyed evey bit of the driv.

I have never had a problem with my G3 motor dealers in Mumbai, they have always been kind and helpful taken care of the small problems that were there, have given the XUV back on time. Hope they continue this kind of service even after the warranty period.

Areas of improvement NA.

Almost everything about the XUV is good. It's a beast on the road.Last row only for kids, cant sea't a adult.
