Nice Exterior Attractive design. I did liked the headlamps. It comes with a rear spoiler.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space and comfort in this class is above average. Space is good even at rear seats. Music system is excellent in top end model.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Not sure about mileage. Petrol engine is noisy and sound can be heard inside cabin even at low speeds. Diesel engine is pathetic in terms of vibration transfer to cabin while starting and stopping. Else both are smooth while riding. Found delay in 2nd gear pickup in diesel engine.
Ride Quality & Handling One of best in class. one must have a test drive to feel it.
Final Words: Overall value for money. But think of engines while buying, I would prefer petrol engine. Rest everything is good. Good buy XM model if one can compromise on noise and vibration.
Areas of improvement : Noise should be reduced for petrol engine. Diesel engine vibration should not be transferred to cabin at all while cranking. Basic model AC should be added
for low budge
