My budget being fixed max @ 13L .and I always prefer new car I looked at cars like eco sports, nissan terreno, and duster but in all cars I realised that they were not suv in fact they are more of crossovers and not at all value for money max 5 sittings no robust look just like hatch and sedan has new version and one day I dared to go to mahindra showroom and had test drive of xuv 500 and my search was all over! -
I found w 4 within my range and I am not found of infotainment system rest every thing was better the top virsion of duster, terreno with two seats extra, great look, 140 bhp(30 bhp exta then duster) and in the end real suv . driving 16000 kms there has been no complaints yet I took it to hills once it was great pleasurable climbing with very comfortable turning radius last row not bad too better then innova but less leg room for for mature adults after 3 to 4 ours ride every one wants to comes to middle row(only heavy adults) but no one complaint about any bumpy ride 500km non stop from amritsar to delhi and with avg of 19km/hr made me more happy.
Avg delhi Noida delhi via expressway come around 15 without jam and with jam 13 Avg local in delhi come around 10 -11. One more thing I would like to share without infotainment there are no software snags as I heard about this car in all please dont compare this car with bmw, merc or Porsche it is an great Indian car but do not fall super engineering category but there is no alternate of this SUV @ this price even if you loose your pocket by 5 lac more .So listen to your heart not reviewers experience. rather aske some one directly who is driving it exactly thats what I did.
