మహీంద్రా xuv500 [2011-2015] వినియోగదారుల రివ్యూలు

I love this car bcoz itz really wonderful. Very smooth in driving. Much better than scorpio and safari. Those who want to buy a comfortable car like innova etc plz go for xuv 500. Itz really amazing.

Yes, things like interior built quality, low speed ride could have been better. A bit more space to last row of seats would be a great change. Other than this, there is a bit of noise in cabin which does not seem to be irritating all the time, though disturb on few occasions. Overall its a great companion, but remember nothing is perfect

 

Exterior Agressive styling. Mahindra could have had more curves and larger wheels. Say 20/22 inches with low profile tyres (Optional). For standard fitment a 19 inch wheel would have been great. Tyre width is 235 mm. A wider one would have made it perrrrfect. A scoop would have been useful and added to the macho image.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Cannot comment much. The colour combinations look good but could have done better with a jet black and beige or dark brown / coffee option. Bluetooth options would be great. Leather seats look good and comfortable. Heard there is 8 way seat adjustment available on this car. should be interesting. Climate control and Cruise control should make long drives breeze.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Expect a similar or a pepped up version from the one one used in Scorpio.

Ride Quality & Handling To watch out for. Key for sucess in this premium segment.

Final Words Agressive styling. Excellent Pricing.

Areas of improvement Too early to comment.

Agressive Looks, PriceWell... wait till I drive one.

 

Exterior Goes without saying that it is toooo good. I may choose XUV 5OO over Fortuner if only looks are considered.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I did not like the seat covers, though they are leather seats. For the price of the vehicle the features are good. Space is reasonable but if you compare with the overall length of the vehicle, more space could have been given. Person sitting on last row may not find it comfortable. Hardly any space to keep any luggage. Good riding comfort.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox May be I was expecting more power in the engine, I thought it lacked power.

Ride Quality & Handling Good.

Final Words Its worth a buy. The vehicle just attracts you.

Areas of improvement  The space available next to the clutch is less. You cannot shift your foot and rest it on the side, When you press the clutch and move the steering, one can feel the steering rod moving, as your foot touches the base of steering rod. Interiors can be improved. Colour combination in the interiors need real change. Mahindra has to work on the interior colour combination in all their vehicles.

Looks are superb, Vehicle control is good, Features are good,The thrust expected from the engine is not there

Exterior Def scores high on exteriors looks as it does give you a feeling a muscular, dominant and stylish SUV, has good paint work, neat fit & finish, liitlle overdose of cuts on the bumper with no options of a installing a bull bar currently in the front, very effective  head lights and turn signals well integrated, the door handles will take a while to get used to and does give a feeling  that one needs to handle with care, nice cuts and curves all across. little worrying given that siezable portion of the vechile is fibre and not sure how would in handle small hugs from companions on roads.

Overall comes acrioss  well designed SUV, definately the best so far from the indian stable given the price one pays for it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Have only sat on the front seats and not for long hours, during this time fely quie comfy, the 3 rd row seats are only meant for kids or someone who you are not very fond of, disappointing on the quality of plastics and their longetivity, the instrument panel lights up brilliantly  but  the temp guage cover feels that it is without a glass covering (got the same checked with dealership on delivery) hand brakes ackwardly placed and takes a good hand to get the same released (buttons), Good info system but again lill weiry on the robustness of the touch screen, average leathers on seats and carpets  are of average quality. the ambience red light fails to amuse me and when switched on gives a feeling for a dim lit bar... overall happy with the interiors.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine Good,Fuel economy best with 14.7 KM per litre for the 200 kms i ve driven so fat, gearbox little noggy/stiff but assuming its because it is still new and also need to get habituated to it.

Ride Quality & Handling Decent for the city as I cannot comment on roads less tarvelled (highways).

Final Words Happy to own for the given price and proud that its rolled out of indian stable :)

Areas of improvement Plastic and leathers, back seats postioning and handbrakes.

Good road presence, exteriors, neatly designed , brilliant fuel economy, value for MoneyPlastic quality in interiors, Hand brake position, and interior exterior color combination

Exterior Superb styling.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) No boot space thats biggest drawback, ppl with big family going for one day picnic cant even keep handy luggege at rear, thats where innova wins, should adjust distance between rows of seats & create more atleast 10-12 inch at rear to keep luggage without folding seats.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gearbox is not so cool, but still no complain. 

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent.

Final Words Would definitly buy if they create more room for luggage without folding seats. should improve milage.

Areas of improvement Center console should be more rich in looks. colors like maroon of center console should be toned down. should immdiately come with automatic gear box. certain segments of society still look that as must feature to buy any vehicle. More sevice centers & showrooms are required. Should concentrate on after sale service, this will bring long term gain to the company. This is where maruti has succeeded over others.

HeadlightsBoot space

Exterior Good paint job, stylish, curvy. Looks Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Third row space compromised. Plastics not so good, When clutch is pressed the foot toches the stearing rod. The software of Info System is unreliable. The mileage shown on ifo and actual vary by 4 km/ ltr.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is good. Gear box is very flimsy. The engagement of gears seems poor althoug hit engages. Fuel economy is good but what is shown on INFO is more by abt 3-4kms/ ltr.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is good and peppy. At times you feel that the turbo should give more instatnt push. The ride quality is good if more than 4 people are sitting. The suspension thus needs to improve a lot. The third row seats leg space is compromised.

Final Words A good value for money but it still lacks the fineese of a good Jap/ European SUV. SOme of the auto features are really good.

Areas of improvement Gear Box engagement. Third row leg room, quality of Info System and Quality of toch control screen. The dealers need to be more educated on the features. They are still ok if selling scorpio. Accessories highly highly over priced.

Style, Exterior, Fuel Economy, comfortable front and mid row seating, hill descent etcThird row uncomfortable, foot touches steering rod when pressing clutch, interiors

Exterior

 Good Front Design & other new features. Body color, head light.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Lot of good features. Not a good plastic used, Seats quality can be improved.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Good, Gear is very hard,

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ok but too many sensors, any failiure will give more expesive repair charges (due to not part of Warrenty)

Final Words

 Good to go, value for money, considering the complexity, safety - wait for 6 months.

Areas of improvement  

 Booking process is the mess, Mahindra has a opinion that the customer will wait, but due to lottery system they will loose the great customer.

No Clarity about the frequency of booking.

No clarity about Sensor failiures if happen. Every speed brake we could hear some sensor noise but not able to find out due to what reason.

Dealers doesn't have a clarity about the process of booking.

I am not sure whether Maindra equiped the dealers to service the sensitive car compare with toyota.

 

 

Front look is good, Fuel economy, colorsBad Interiors, last row space, Sensor noises, Booking mess process (Not worried about good customer)

Exterior

  Excellent STYLING...As Mahindra says, that the design of this vehicle is made like a pouncing cheetah, at first sight, you will not be able to see that but as you go far away from it and look from the side view..you will feel the muscular wheel arches as of cheetah shoulders. Styling is very nice and seems like a beautiful beast.Nice to hear from Mahindra that XUV500 has been purely designed by indian engineers in Chennai design center.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Excellent ,GOOD SPACIOUS SECOND ROW....😊

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Very good engine..the response of the engine is also very good, sluggish gear box... for 1st and 2nd gear Rest of the gears are very smooth..............in city it gives an avg of 13-14 km/lt. in highways it gives 18+km/lt. very good vehicle for long drive . Hard suspension! you drive any car/ sedan/ SUV and you drive your XUV over the same speed breakers. You can feel the difference.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride quality is excellent ............ handling is also good ....easy to ride in the city traffic also....😊

Final Words

 Very good vehicle............😊

Areas of improvement  

 Braking......

Automatic version...

 

 

Very Good looking Exterior,spacious interior,very good featuressluggish gearbox....
