XUV 500

 You must be paid to write this article. I had the most horrific experience when I entered the Mohan Motors, Mahindra Dealers in Kolkata. I had to wait 10 minutes before a salesman could attend to me and when he eventually arrived, it was the worst demo one can ever received for a car. The price hike of Rs. 50,000/- and the long waiting periods for an XUV which is definitely not meant for off road driving like its competitors Fortuner and Endeavour. The interior is decorated with cheap Chinese plastics and equipment, the air conditioning is faulty, there are no air conditioning vents on the ceiling like  the Fortuner, plus there was no rev and pep in the XUV 500 engine. The handling and suspension  is poor as you can feel the slightest jerks and bumps on the road Clearly the company is under producing just 2000 vehicles a month to create a false demand a tactic previously used by Nano which has no takers now.

The XUV 500 after the price hike is highly priced  for a 2200 cc diesel variant in the segment. After the success of the Renault in F1 racing I would like to wait for the Renault Duster or the Ford Ecosport which have already made it large in the global market and promise to be under Rs.10,00,000/-

its cheap compared to Fortuner and CRVits a cheap SUV not for off roading
