Mahindra Xylo [2012-2014] User Reviews

 

My Xylo is four years old. I have crossed 80,000 km on this vehicle. I have not done any major work on it except, recently, when I had to replace the clutch master cylinder. Apart from that no other work has been done on this car but for its routine periodic servicing. The engine today runs ever so smoothly and it sounds so healthy. I chose the Mysore- Bandipur route to go to Ooty. This beauty took those 36 hairpin bends with such ease and comfort, it amazed me. As a driver of the vehicle, after that climb, I was not tired at all. In fact, I enjoyed manoeuvring the car along the curves as it took them effortlessly. So many times in these four years, my wife and I have felt so happy that we made the right choice of car to drive around in, in our retired life. Thank you Mahindra for giving us a great vehicle!

Great Comfort. Very Spacious. Very smooth handling. Powerful engine.Nil

Exterior ;exterior look is very good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) interior plastic low quality,space is lot.

Engine Performance Good, Fuel Economy:no mileage and Gearbox: ok.

Ride Quality & Handling Be careful in this we we go in highways, it will  reach 130kph, we  cant indetify that we r going 120,130kph, when we see the meter only we will know that. That means no suspensions,one more thing as I said that speed when we reach only ABS break wil be  work otherwise it will skit/ turn the car.

Final Words Value for money, budget vechle, family car, But overall is ok I had bad experience in dealer especially where I took the car, that means when I went the showroom they try to push me on mahindra finance, I told them I will arrange myself by bank, after that no body care, and then two times I went showroom I dont get test drive, then I thought I want go someother showroom, i proceed also they treat nicely but that showroom is to long for me, so i dont have choice, then i went same showroom  third time for booking even they are not gving test  drive , they told me demo car went outside,but anyway i booked, then told me delivery date is seven to fourteen days dut i got after three weeks, very very very bad experience.

Areas of improvement Outside door gap is to long compare to innova, ertiga, ineterior  Plastics of quality is very poor, and we cant put double panel (touch screen tft) stereo set, only we can put single panel  stereo set.

Leg Comfort , Spacious and RateNo dual a/c

 

Exterior Great,even Aria and Safari canot beat Body Kit Brown Xylo E8 ABS Airbags BS-IV. 

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Absurd interiors,even in Body Kit the interiors are the dull brown colour. But the long list of features,like ABS,AirBags,Bluetooth,USB-AUX port and Mobile Charger,will cause little cause to complain. Even space is good,the boot is big and all rows are more spacious than Scorpio,Aria,Innova and Safari. THe front row is comfy,middle also confy with Flight-like Foldable Trays for food or Drinks and the Third row is superb too.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The M-Eagle engine is good,120 PS is great. the fuel economy is decent,16 KPL.Gear is hard but Slick and Leather Wrapped Gear Knob not too rubbery.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Rde is great but handling is not GOOD.

 

Final Words Go for it. Big cars cannot beat the Xylo Body Kit with Leather Seats,Steering and Gear Knob and Good Looks and Best-IN Class Power and Resale Value. But Interiors absurd.

 

Areas of improvement Interior quality and style inside.

 

Looks..Price..Features..Performance..Space and ComfortNothing.....Maybe Absurd Interiors

Exterior Good looking and elegant

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The middle seat passengers feels a lot of discomfort due to jerks. it is spacious and comfortable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent for its class.

Ride Quality & Handling See remarks above. Handling is excellent.

Final Words This is very good vehicle for long distance travel for a medium family.It is priced reasonably compared to the vehicles of its own class. It has good road grip and good control even at high speeds.

Areas of improvement The fuel indicator has a very poor response. it takes almost 24 hrs after filling the correct fuel reading. The service person keep telling me it is because of float valve. I have driven erlier vehicles with float valve. This is a bit too tardy.

The ride in the central passenger seats are not comfortable as the passengers feel too much jerks.

The reverse switch indications are many times faulty leading to confusion while reversing.
