Truly World Class

Exterior When I first saw the so called sneak peak of W201 (as it was called that time), I was a bit disappointed with what I saw, But boy, the final product is no where near the prototype and looks absolutely phenominal.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I live in UK and have a BMW 5 Series and the gadgets that are avaialble in XUV 500 far surpass the gadgets available in BMW (for example - my BMW does not have a touch screen and is not fully compatible with iPod/iPhone). The Fit and finish (based on the pictures I see) looks very upmarket. I hope there would be further refinements in next couple of years and we will have a truly upmarket SUV in Mahindra's stable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 6 Speed Manual would be very interesting.

Ride Quality & Handling

Final Words Absolutely fantastic looking SUV at a very attractive price tag.

Areas of improvement Rear - Could do with a bit of tweak to the tailgate.
