Mahindra updated the XUV 500 last year and it has been the XUV so far although there is no change in the exterior but the interior have quite a lot changes especially the auto box. The automatic version is standard front wheel drive with the option of all wheel drive.
Its has the bets legroom compared to the other brands
It has a good design, features are good but the quality is disappointing.
Transmission and steering has serious flows.
Plastic used is of cheap quality
Overall there are a lot of areas the XUV 500 can improve.
1) quality of the interior dashboard
2) the steering need a improvement
3) the service they provide is not good
Over all I would say its a average car. For 16 lakh its a good buy.
