A good investment for a big family that loves travelling in comfort

 

Exterior Not good for entering any beauty contest. But very utilitarian.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Loads of space. Can seat eight people in comfort. For luggage, please use a roof carrier. No eight seater has enough space to keep luggage inside.But we can keep lots of luggage under the seats, if packed properly in brief/ suit cases of proper size.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox D2 has a good engine. Low noise. Vibration is not more than that of any other diesel car/ SUV/MPV. Gear box is smooth and shifting gears is as easy as any other car. Average mileage is 12.5 KMPL which compares favourably with any other vehicle.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Good ride quality and handling. I find driving my XYLO easier than any other vehicle, even in the city.

 

Final Words I purcahsed the vehicle in March 2010 and has covered about 7500 KM till date. I have not met with any problem till date and my family loves travelling in the XYLO than any other vehicle. I have never felt tired while driving the vehicle even on long stretches extending to 600 KM. Please note that I am 59 years old and loves driving. Because of its Jeep DNA I feel that it is best suited for Kerala where roads do not exist for a major part of the year, especially after a heavy monsoon. I will recommend XYLO to any one who loves undertaking long trips. The number of XYLOs on road itself is a proof of its success.

 

Areas of improvement Well plastics can be of a better quality. More powerful head lamps and fog lamps on all models will be welcome.

 

Good fuel economy, roomy interiors, very good AC with louvers for all three rowsPlastic not up to the desired level. Appears to be fragile.
