Indians- Please don't judge Mahindra without driving their vehicles. They are in beast mode now & making best vehicles. XUV 300 best Vehicle.

Purchased it from Unnati Motors, Pune. Buying Experience was very good. Took Test Drive twice before going for final decision as i was confused between Kia Seltos Diesel IMT & Mahindra XUV 300 Diesel AMT W8 (O). Price gap was almost 70K for on road price. Kia people was not ready to give single Rs. Discount as they have too much booking in hand. So I don't like this attitude. Moreover i liked XUV 300 also which comes with more features in less price than Seltos as I was planning to buy Top end model only. So finally I made decision to go with XUV 300 AMT Diesel W8 (O) Dual Tone. Car was available in stock and delivered within 15 days. (Here i was not looking for Dual tone, i want to buy White color XUV300 with new logo, but they said they have vehicle with old logo which i don't want. Then they informed me that Dual Tone (Red + White Top) available with new logo & i booked it. * If people have more budget up to 23 Lakhs, blindly go for Scorpio-N. It will really give you feel like King and you will forget about Safari, Fortuner, Endeavor. My budget was up to 17 Lakhs only so i choose XUV300 and i want AMT Only as i was fed up of clutch usage in traffic. Driving Experience:- 1} Request to all Indian Buyers. Please don't underestimate Mahindra. They have done lot of hard work while building the vehicle. Diesel Engine cabin noise is almost nil as they provided great insulation. 2} My Height is 5 Ft 11 inches. When i seat in driving seat and adjust the seat as per my comfort level, so in my rear row, any tall guy of almost same height can sit very comfortably. (This is because rear space has more legroom due to which boot space is less) 3} 5* Safety, Best Features with Hill Hold Control, TPMS, Sunroof, Cruise Control, 6 Airbags, Three point Seat Belt on rear sit and many more. 4} In Pune City mileage given between 15 to 15.8 Km/L ( My daily run is 50 KM in traffic) And if AMT vehicle giving you this mileage then what more you expect? 5} Driven car almost 2100 Km out of which 1000Km was highway drive. On Highway I got 20.9 Km/L mileage. Due to good roads i driven most of the vehicle on Cruise Control. 6} 1st Servicing is done at 1000 Km for all check up. Small vibration was coming from boot door which is then solved during servicing. Now vehicle is ready to go long long way. 7} Before making any judgment for Indian brand, first take test drive, look at the features they are providing, price, mileage, service cost, parts availability and most important Safety & Going for Indian brand which Indians don't want to go for only because they think only foreign brands like Kia, Hyundai are best. But these brands are nothing but all about Looks only. Safety Seltos, Sonet, Venue all are having 3 star ratings. For Pros their is long list but for Cons their is only one which is Boot Space. But 250 Litre Boot space is enough for my family of three as I don't carry luggage all the time. 3 Suitcase and backpacks can easily fit in this boot space.
