 exterior of the car is just brilliant, perfect thing to ride on urban roads. No one see it just once..! you need to get used to tht kind of attention and respect on road

Final Words

 If u are looking for an SUV with 100% value for ur money, then ur search must end with XUV500

Areas of improvement  

 if at all anythg can be pointed out then, suspension and brakes can be improved.

ride quality is unmatched,fuel economy-16kmpl for speeds of 80-100kmph,styling is awesomesuspension could have been better, hard braking may give some sound.

Exterior Easily the best looking SUV on Indian roads, Buy one with darker shade and have chrome kit installed.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Best and spacious, but third row is best for kids. Go for darker interiors.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Brilliant ! It is a performance machine. Great pickup, good for city drive and unmatched for long drives espeically when the roads are bad. Mileage varies around 11 to 15 depending on how you drive and whether it is city or highway. Gear box is smooth and has a nice chunky feel to it and sifts smoothly.

Ride Quality & Handling Really nice. Suspension is good and it feels like a Volvo bus. You don't feel bumps and pot holes. It erms of driving it is what every man should want.. absolute power.

Final Words If you want to own an SUV with not compromise at a decent price. XUV 500!

Areas of improvement Mileage i wish clocked to 17 kmpl.

Looks, interiors, technology, ride qualityFuel economy could have been higher

Yes, things like interior built quality, low speed ride could have been better. A bit more space to last row of seats would be a great change. Other than this, there is a bit of noise in cabin which does not seem to be irritating all the time, though disturb on few occasions. Overall its a great companion, but remember nothing is perfect

Very briefly, I really enjoy owning and driving the xuv500 - it's got a nice smooth power plant(particularly for a turbo diesel) and is really pleasant to drive. Very specious and comfortable inside, with loads of features at a very agreeable price tag.

I didn't particularly like the binary tempreture guage, which is either blue bars (OK) or red bars (overheated), nor safety feature which causes cruise control to disable if the accelerate button is held in for more than 15 seconds. The instrumentation, while nicely styled, also tends to be too faded under bright sunlight.

These, however, are minor niggles for an otherwise nicely styled vehicle that's surprisingly fun to drive. If you're expecting perfection, then be prepared to pay an additional >35% for similar features in competitor's vehicles. None of the big brands selling mid-sized SUVs (Toyota, Hyundai, Nissan, Ford) manage to come close on price for the features and specs that this vehicle offers.

The xuv500 is hands-down a winer.

Styling, space, drive train, handlingQuirky instrumentation

Exterior Overall a goodlooking car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features ok, cant build confidence to use these.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Ok, good.

Ride Quality & Handling Useless suspension, noisy ride. no trust develops while driving this car , its always a risk and fear of something going bad on driving this thing.

Final Words If Big company like M&M with such a big R&D team cant correct the basic suspension of their one of the top end cars means they have failed and now owners and new buyers have to live with this flaw... suspension quality and performance is draging down the overalll grace of the car, which is not so bad otherwise.

I was trusting the company for last 6 months / 12000 kms , but failed, they can never correct this flaw. Visited Workshop for more than 15 times in last 6 months but result is ZERO.

Areas of improvement Only Suspension and noisy plastic interiors like vents and dashboard.

Average, Pickup, looksSpace, Suspensions

Exterior

 The design is the best indian car i have ever seen. It looks strongly built but overly designed.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 The plastics are horrible in terms of clarity. The aircon isn't very powerful. The seats are of some synthetic leather that is not very good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 The engine is the most powerful of indian SUVs. It accelerated from 0-100 in just 12.5 secs. It feels stable upto 13kmph after which it's not very rugged but still not too bad.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride is very bouncy. Handling is fine for an indian suv but a little rolly.

Final Words

 The car is very good for the price. Provides the best performance for the price. Best features too i guess...

Areas of improvement  

 The plastic quality needs to be improved by a lot. The suspension needs to be improved. Aircon needs to be improved in terms of cooling and rear vents. The high speed stability needs to be improved.

 

Power, Acceleration, Engine sound, Design, Full of featuresPoor quality plastics, bouncy yet hard suspension, bad rear aircon

Exterior:good the only reason i can think of why people are buying this car!!

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort):far below average...even cars from  5to 6 lac bracket fare better

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox:engine sounds great...u cant hear your own sound...fuel economy better than expected..

 

Ride Quality & Handling :real bad...got a driver in 2 months...

Final Words:please dont use cheap chinese things ...or keep a lot in stock..becouse its routine now ..every now and then...this goes off and that goes down...pathetic car...

 

Areas of improvement:if u really want to improve...please get inside and start from anything..so much to do...in the first 500 kilometers the system showed a lot of errors which the dealer worked upon but after that he turned a dead ear ...he simply says yeh to chalta he rehta hai...choti se to baat hai...my previous experience with cars like hyundai verna and hyundai accent were amazing...the interior was rich and worked smoothly for 4 years straight(no problems)...

 

 

exterior looks ... also pretty decent fuel economycheap faulty parts used everywhere inside nothing works after 5 6 months..+a very bad dealer in town
