Final Words

 I brought the RX5 last year and by the time I completed 10K kms, the vehicle had replaced clutch three times!! was a manufacturing defect and after a few prods the RX5 was replaced by RX7 (i paid the balance obviously)

I hope mahindra has rectified this problem!

The service center is however pathetic and mahindra should look into doing something about it if they need to keep their customers.

I am a PROUD owner of the rexton largely because of the excellent after sales support of the mahindra team and their help in sloving my problem with regards to the machine.

Areas of improvement  

I had problems from the time my first rexton was delivered by thre showroom. Such was the handover experience that I did not bother to go back to take delivery the next time, just had them drive it to my house.

They are not technically qualified to answer any queries on REXTON and cover up their ignorance by lying...

please please look into the training of your authorised service guys in kochi. 

 

 

Value for money. Best in its classAuthorised dealership

Exterior Got my RX7 around two back. Its a real head turner on the road. Great looks.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) It has the best features. Loved the easy access feature. The moment you take the key out from ignition, the seat rolls back and lower for the driver to go out or enter easy. The memory function brings not only the seat to the drivers preferred position, but also adjusts the two side rear view mirrors accordingly.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is smooth and picks up very fast. From standing still state if you press the accelerator, for about 0.5 second nothing happens but post that it picks up like a rocket. so one needs to be careful while managing that momentum. One thing which could be improved is the roar from the engine when you accelerate from a lower speed. Engines roars and it feels like the vehicle is racing in first gear. I tried doing that with manual peddle shift as well but no luck. But if you release the accelerator peddle after racing a bit, the engine feels like butter while maintaining the speed. This confuses me quite a bit. I am suspecting that the roaring noise comes from radiator fan. Shown it to the service station guy as well, but not sure how well are they trained. I hope by the time I reach 10k km, these guys will be trained enough to address my queries. Also surprisingly Break Drum broke down in just 12000 K.

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth and terrific pick up except the first 0.5-1 second. Handling is almost like sedan. I have taken narrow U turns in busy road and no issues. Handbrake is little far off, as if the co-passenger is going to apply that. The car front dives a bit while appling brakes but not a major issue.

Areas of improvement Need to have more service centers and customer care.

Good StyleBreak Drum gave away only in 12000 KM

Exterior Very decent n up market exterior give a strong n proud feeling of driving rexton. I must add to it that I have experienced people turning back watching this car running on road. This has been my personal experience. People thinks of being an imported suv. BOY IF U GET THIS KIND OF TREATMENT ON ROAD WHATELSE ONE CAN ASK FOR.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) INTERIOR IS GOOD ONLY THING IRRITATES ME ISsafety feature that  video cannot be seen in running car,one has to put on handbrake then only u can see the videos on music system WELL I THINK ITS GOOD FOR SAFETY 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I was in deep sh*t when I purchased n runned few kms n the milege what I was thinking was 4 kmpl. Talked to the dealer n then again checked with tank full GOT 9 KMPL very satisfied in delhi ncr run, probably will go high on highway.

All is goodNothing

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfortable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good power but poor mileage.

Ride Quality & Handling Alignment issues still not sorted.

Final Word I bought this vehicle on May 13th 2013. Next day morning I sent out the call to the sales team at NBS Mumbai. List of issues were 1)Car pulling to the left 2)Vibration on the stearing wheel at speeds of 110,120 kmph 3)Bluetooth connectivity not happening 4)Speakers not properly wired thus hampering sound quality 5)Glove box with a black mark and paint pealed off 6)Deep impression on the rear seat at the centre 7)Thud/Jerk while shifting from Reverse-Drive and vice versa in the automatic version 8)Both side door mirrors open and close at different speeds.

The vehicle has been to their Sewri workshop 6-8 times since 13th May causing me loads of Inconvenience and embarrassment.

Amongst the above mentioned points 1,5,6,7 & 8 are still pending as on date. Point nos 1,7 & 8 still remain but are termed as "acceptable"as per their service engineers and there is no mercy for the money spent by me to buy this car. Tiresome. Request all to please reconsider their decisions if not already bought the vehicle yet.

Areas of improvement Loads in term of cluster and suspension/alignment.

Good on powerHas mechanical alignment issues

1. Quick dealing and delivery 2. Very comfortable 3. Totally different from any other vehicles 4. Little bit expensive 5. Pros best vehicle in this segment, Cons - interior should be better.

I buyed it from nagpur it was in very good condition it was fully loaded.it is very stylish very good looking and attractive. It's maintenance is quite costly in showrrom but very good car the company staff is also very good . My overall experience was better. THANK YOU!

I bought this car 15 months back for the cost of around Rs 26 lakhs. I live in Coimbatore, South India. I had a technical problem once and they took time for correccting the fault 3 to 4 days.

Now my car met a very small accident. During a drive in Avinashi Road,  a van hit my car back side. Due to this, back side pumper got damaged. I have given my car for pumper replacement. It is almost  10 days over. So far they have not corrected. When contacted the people at Coimbatore says the pumper has to come from South Korea. Just because of this pumper replacement, I have to wait for 15 days time.

My question is, if there is going to be major fault, how many days I have to wait, since the parts has to come from South Korea. I am really fed up with this car.

Good comfort & SpacePoor fuel economy

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Fair.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Bad, I am used over it for 1 year, but vehicle breakdown  4 times in 1 and 1/2 yr.

Mahindra service is horrible, not even fix bolts of engine in goa service center , charge you for worrenty parts also, if we contact anand mahindra he is not going to listen and block ,my friend on tweeter, I offer my vehicle as gift to him but not even give proper respons, they made my life hell, its very shamfull tey sell me testride vehicle as new, even accept it on the name of discount given, please tweet @anand mahindra about gift offer by me.

Ride Quality & Handling Not up to the mark, engine making noise.

Final Words Please never purchase this vehicle, Mahindr service is very bad, they will terrify you for their mistakes, and not respond.

Areas of improvement Stop cheating people on the name of brand.

stylespears nt avilable for monts, engine problem,cluch problem,

Exterior Good body work and sturdy vehicle, nice styling and aerodynamics. The vehicle gives a feeling of safety/toughness.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very comfortable and luxurious vehicle, in fact it is comparable tp bmw/audi.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox A big and powerful engine though of old technology. not sure if still being in use by mercedes.engine performance is good but it is noisy. Wonder if it is normal? hope mahindra ha ve thoroughly checked and tested it.fuel economy for 184bhp is good and that too with auto transmission. gearbox appears to  be sluggish but this can be overcome by using the manual feature.there are no gear change indications in the auto mode so not sure if vehicle stays in lower gear for long or not.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent ride quality. in fact no other suv in india matches it. handling is very easy and sturdy.

Final Words Its a steal at the price being offered now. mahindra may increase it as the vehicle gains popularity. A must buy for all SUV lovers looking for a well balanced feature rich SUV.

Areas of improvement Engine refinement and may be some more features like rear camera, distance indicators, smart key. cool box etc.

Good sturdy look and performance,ride quality,comfort and featuresEngine noise
