The new XUV 500 from mahindra is so much better than its previous version although the previous version wasnt bad. The car gives a very refreshing and updated design. The Mahindra engine generates much better torque compared to others leaving tata. Also it generates a good amount of power for outstation drives and long drives. The space is very much adequate for the 5 people only the 2 people sitting behind will have a bit of an issue to sit due to very less legroom. The car has a decent amount of pickup and good braking system. Also the audio system gives clear enough sound for day to day use. The gear shifting is automatic so no much problem there for those irritated with using the clutch. Overall great car to consider when your buying an suv.
