Mahindra XUV500 [2015-2018] User Reviews

Exterior Exellant , Good looking , I have got fog lamp and rear camera installed

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Interriors are neat , cabin space is spacious

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very responsive and it does not looklike driving a big vehicle. Road view is good.

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth rides , Impressed with engine responce, Touch screen infotenment system is easy to use and easy get paired through Andriod Auto.

Final Words After testdrive of many vehicles ,I found that XUV is best value for money considering its ride quality , Latest user freindly features , Six speed gear box. Other vehicles like Scorpio and Storm does not offer pure seven seater experiance and Ertiga and BRV does not offer roomy cabin and road presence.

Though heigher end models of XUV is availbale but i think W6 is Value for money , It offers cruise control also.

Its compiarable model is HEXA . I could not do test drive its manual version

Areas of improvement Free service duration is very short and three service to be completed within an year.

Light clutch, Excellent Road presence, Usefull feature and easy touch screen connectivityNot noticed but I feel fuel economy

Exterior Its a good looking muscle car, from experior but while driving we feels like a soft metal hatchback car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Is as similar to an ordinary hatch or sedan in indian market.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance wise its good but can't compare with the other rival suv's. Because the performance doesn't mean the output itself but also its smoothness, quality of sound while the engine starts and runs, Vibrations it creates and lot such factors.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is very bad and as the handling also. its the suspension make things much worse.

Final Words Need much improvement in many areas which im mentioning below.

Areas of improvement I had driven, Isuzu and Ford Endavour while I am having an XUV. What i felt was it need improvement in engine smoothness, engine sound, the way engine starts, now its more similar to a mini truck.

The steering column get alwys stuck with my leg, it reminds me a truck ride.

The suspension is more similar to Force Traveller van, will throw us to air on pot holes and bumbs, cant think its an SUV.

Rattling sound starts after 20K every were within the dashboard and many places.

Quality wipers are available in the market, then why mahindra is providing the same they keeps in their passenger van.

Doors need to be much solid like other SUV's, here its almost like in Maruthi cars.

Good in terms of performanceVery Bumpy suspension, Strong door clamp needed, Adjustable 2 & 3 row seats needed.

Exterior Excellent.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very good value for money. mobile chargers for all seats, pwerful AC for back seat.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Using since March 2013, very happy. this is my 8th vehicle and find it very driver friendly.

Ride Quality & Handling Good, even manuvering in mountains it is very comfortable. Not sure if many of the people who complain, genuinely own this car. There are about 12 of us who are extremely happy at the decision.

Final Words At this price range you cannot get a better car. Enjoy your drive. I have a W6 and will upgrade to W10 next year. I have seen this car in Europe , where quality matters. Do not compare it to BMW or a Merc as you do not pay for it.

Areas of improvement Hand break position and looks, Reduce the leg space in middle row and increase the legspace in last row. AC for the middle row.

Stylish vehicle, get 12+ mileage in city, driving comfort, service support, low in maintenanceHand break position, reduce the middle seat space and increase the back seat leg space.

The buying experience or process was extremely comfortable I went to the showroom and my car was handed over to me in 45 minutes. The riding quality is superb and the this car is very comfortable. It's looks are damn awesome and it's engine roars like a cheetah. Servicing of this is costly but adequate. And my experience is not too good with the staff. Cons are the car is slightly costly and pros is it gives superb ride quality.
