Personally my experience on Mahindra XUV500 is nice.Its design is like panther, its steering, suspension, brakes, interior design is nice.
As a SUV it is quite suitable for jungle safaris.
Its milage is also good.
In my opinion there is some limitations also associated with Mahindra XUV5OO e.g.
customer have to wait for some time after order due to unavailability.
Its maintenance costs are also high with respect to other sports cars.
After a long analysis and experience I can say Mahindra XUV500 gives value for money.
