Exterior Excellent appearnce on road. Defenitely you feel proud when others look at you driving this one. The grey plastic grills near lamps are worst looking and not matching with the exterior color. I drove a Silver color W6.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The center panel is worst looking. It is not matching with any of the other interiors. Seat is confortable. The steerling column is touching my feet (on clutch) frequently when I turn it. GearBox is not positioned conveniently, I am5'10'' tall, I ahve adjusted my seat to avoid folding my legs, and still I have to search for the Gear liver as it is almost beside the arm rest. 2nd row can not be moved forward to give space for 3rd row which could make 3rd as comofrtable as 2nd row. I have observed lot of space given between 1st & 2nd row. 3rd row is for children or short people.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is good as the representative says it is a light weighed body it could pull it easily. Suspension is not at all good. Inside it is not too noicy as per its capacity & size, so it is good. I could not speed test as I have driven it in city and the busiest junction of Hyderabad (Nagarjuna circle - Punjagutta Fly over - CM camp office - U Turn - take Fly over - left and get down towards GVK - u Turn - back to show room). Pickup is good and rep. says it give 11-12 KMPH in city. Even 10 is a good mielage for such big vehicle.
Ride Quality & Handling Handling is good. Ride quality is also good.
Final Words I used to be a lover of Safari till I see XUV 500. Now, I am not going to buy Safari defenitely(I AM A SOFTWARE ENGINEER) and I would prefer XUV to Safari, once the refined version of XUV comes at little low price.
Areas of improvement
Suspension.
Gear Box Position.
Steering column postion w.r.t. Cluch pedal.
Pedals size is not comfortable.
2nd Row adjsutment to forward & backward.
