Dr.T.SASIMURUGAN- Review-XUV500 SUSPENSION POOR, HEAVILY PRICED, CONGESTED INSIDE, SIDE LOOKS GOOD

Exterior

 Mahindra XUV 500 looks good at the sides and not at the front or at the back. The M&M engineers have to think about it in immediate future. Ground clearance good but can be much more better.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Good interiors, nice looking 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 mHawk engine is always good in Scorpio, the same is with XUV 500. The engine has been tuned to have more power. Fuel economy can be more and near to 20 km/litre as is the case with its competitors like the new Renault Duster.

Ride Quality & Handling

Good, but can be refined further more 

Final Words

 Overpriced, bad in Suspension, but feature rich like ABS, AirBags, Bluetooth Connectivity, GPS,FM/AM Radio, Powerful engine, etc.,

Areas of improvement  

1.  Very Urgent is SUSPENSION 2. Back and Front looks 3. Gear shift to be made much more smooth 4.   No extra bulging like swift at the sides 5. Distance between the driver seat and the driver side passenger seat shold be more as in Scorpio 6. The height of the vehicle can be more so that it looks gigantic like Scorpios or Xylos.
