    Exterior Exteriors are just a face to sell a shitty product by Mahindra. The looks are great but the quality is worse than maybe a car 1/3rd its price. I have a WagonR which takes dents on its body gracefully. This car however is worse in terms of overall quality of material used. The doors seem to vibrate when closed even with a little extra force ( Go ahead Mahindra, you may even call it Intelligent Door Closing feedback, just to increase your feature list ). The rubber lining on the door is something I supsect wouldn't last 2 summers in Delhi heat.

    Overall rating - Below average for SUV at this price range.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Well let me be honest. It certainly doesn't feel driving a SUV inside the cabin when you are driving it on bumpy roads. Blame it on my test drive on a well built road for this mistake. You may want to drive an older version of the Sumo to compare. Auto AC may work or may not ( The blower speed that is. I'm sure it doesn't control temperature in that situation either). The display on the center feels like it will come off someday on a large enough bump. 

    You might as well get stuck on a redlight someday with your car telling you to check engine and refusing to start. Mahindra claims it to be a software issue. I have not tried so called tyretronics and host of other feature, but I'm sure if Mahindra claims so many issues with this car as a software issue, they might still be buggy enough to refuse working the day you might actually need them

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is smooth, almost Scorpio like. However, gearbox is something Mahindra should have really tested before they released this car in the market. The gearbox suck and there have been multiple instances when the shifts take more than 1 attempts.

    Ride Quality & Handling Think I explained it above.

    Final Words A shitt car not worth putting your money in. Mahindra's legendary service network is almost as if it was serving the babu's of the yore. You can not 'EVER' get a response from Mahindra in the first attempt. They do not know how to treat their customers. 

    Crap of a product - Poorest Service - Absolute waste of my ficking har earned money. 

    Fanboys who are interested in buying a 2800kms run XUV500 for a decent mark down - drop me  a mail. I think I will settle for less glorious but far better Innova

    Areas of improvement  - Need I say more!!

    Exterior styling. And it ends at thatEverything except exterior styling
