MAHINDRA XUV500 REVIEW BY PSC

AS WE ALL KNOWN THAT MAHINDRA COMPANY CAR FAMOUS FOR COMFORT AND LUXARY IN AFFORDABALE PRICE.


specification of XUV500 are


Ever since Mahindra first launched the XUV 500 in September 2011; it managed to create an almost cult-like following for the vehicle. It immediately became the darling of the aspirational middle-class who seemingly wanted an SUV with loads of creature comforts and modern features, and all that at an attractive price.


Today the picture is rather different, The consumer is just as aspirational, and just as demanding, but is more spoilt for choice, and therefore more pampered. So, despite having sold over 100, 000 of them, the challenge for M& M was to really make the XUV 500 even more relevant.


The answer is the new facelifted car we see with us today. It is certainly a facelift in the cosmetic sense. But right up front let me tell you the good news - it is also an upgrade on the mechanical side. The car had certain glaring chinks in its armour, which have been addressed - for the most part anyway.

The biggest difference is how the vehicle’s ride quality has changed. Despite being a monocoque construction - the chassis always seemed to convey a sense of roll and bounce usually associated with ladder-on-frame builds. The suspension setup has been changed to now cater to a sportier ride feel, along with specific focus on high-speed capability. While the ride has got sportier, it is by no means stiff, and so Indian buyers will still find it comfortable.


The vehicles’ ESP ( Electronic Stability Programme) system supplied by Bosch has been upgraded ( by the supplier) . The new ESP 9 system now offers more precise cornering and better lane-keeping capability at high speeds. The car also has brake energy regeneration that feeds power to the battery. The engine output numbers remain unchanged, though the 2.2 mHawk never had a problem, did it? So you still get 140 horses and 330 Nm of torque. Mileage, though, is up from 15 to 16 km/l.
