Exterior
Mahindra XUV 5OO is means to deceive the public that it is a premium SUV. The vehicle has a very poor electronic package installed in it. The electronics will fail within a few weeks of using the vehicle. The after sales service and the authorized dealer (Bhasin Motors Delhi) are ill equipped and incompetent to respond to the consumer's grievances.
My Mahindra XUV 5OO W8 met with an accident on 6.01.2013. It has been in the workshop eversince as Mahindra and Bhasin are not able to repair it. Moreover, the airbags are a sham as none of them ever deployed during the accident. The company is deceiving the public by marketing it as a premium SUV with superior safety features, whereas, none exist.
I had purchased the vehicle in May 2012. The XUV had a series of electronic failures during the first few feeks of usage. The wipers stopped working. Thereafter the brakes were completely worn out by the 2nd month. I only use the vehicle for city driving. Then the overhead glass ware compartment began geeting filled with water as the water used to seep in from some crevices. The headlisghts ceased to function by the 4th month. The fuse was blown.
The entire experince has been nothing short of a night mare and I would sincerly urge any potential Mahindra purchasers that they should refrain from purchasing the junk and spend their valuable money on a more rewarding vehicle.
