மஹிந்திரா சைலோ [2012-2014] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

Exterior

 Good. Does not look 'boxy' as to its predecessors

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Parents aged 80 and kids : 6 of us enjoyed every moment inside it over the 2000 odd kms ride in last 5 days. I rank it better than Innova, Ertiga, Enjoy, and all vehicles 6 seater plus presently in India.

In the present boot I could carry 3 mid size suitcases easily. One suitcase with one bag and tits-bits could easily find space beneath the 3rd row seat. Middle row also can accomdate a few small bags beneath the seats. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine Excellent. minimum noise in low gear. Glides in 4th and 5th Gear. Gave me an average of 12.5 - 13.5 at a speed of 100 - 120 with full load and AC. Touched 14.5 at 80-90 km/hr. And got 18 km/ltr w/o AC on hilly terrain. Could easily manovare uphill even in third gear. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Superb. The oldies or the kids in the last row did not feel tired even after 12 hrs at a stretch of travelling. Having covered 600 kms I could go on for 400 kms more.  

Final Words

 If you are looking for a SUV with all features and also a family car - go for the New Xylo

Areas of improvement  

 There is more than required leg room in the middle row.  These seats can be moved a bit ahead keeping the same space between the 2nd and 3rd row seats - to create even more boot space. 

 

Everything : features, ride quality, comfort, road presence, handling, fuel economy, value for moneynone as of now
