Mahindra XUV500 user reviews

Mahindra, for the first time, has been able to manufacture a vehicle which is pleasing to the eye. However, don't let it deceive you. The vehicle may seem to be a premium offering on the first look, but as soon as you begin using the SUV, you'll realize that it is ridden with innumerable defects, which you don't expect in a vehicle of this stature....

I am a new owner of this superb machine, it's amazing I bought this car in December 2015 and feel like a pilot while driving it. It has decent mileage with small variations. I am an Automobile Engineer and can proudly say that this is the best machine available in the country. Get this car, it's my personal advice.

From outside the vehicle looks quite appealing but the worst part are the brakes. I virtually came out alive twice in XUV500 for the fault of the brakes. The effectiveness of the brakes are very poor for sudden braking, after the speed of 100km/hr. If you suddenly stop the XUV over a speed above 100kmph it will stop after travelling a lot of distan...

I had read a lot about how bad this car is, but, after reviewing the market well I bought the XUV 5OO. So, far touch wood the experience is wonderful. This might be because all/most of the issues were fixed in the 2013 model.    Look and Style : Quite a personal opinion but I do not see any other car can even come close to the road presence and loo...

Look and Style well done with leather but people will be unable to put on a seat cover in aid of the airbags present in pretty much appropriate locations(mostly because of the ones behind the seat) Comfort the class and calibre of the leather in not only the W8 but in every variant,it seems a good choice in terms of comfort as well.The presence of ...

Mahindra XUV 500 is India's most favourite SUV and it is one of the best-selling vehicles in the market. I bought the all new Mahindra XUV500 last month and well it was the best thing that I have done. Spending money on the XUV500 proved to be worthy as the vehicle was packed with ample set of features. It is the most affordable luxurious SUV you c...

Before purchasing the XUV 500, I have gone through all types of SUV (Toyota Fortuner, Chevrolet Captiva, Tata Strome, Mahindra Scorpio, Ford Endeavour). Biggest plus point of this SUV is that it does not have any problem regarding its engine and transmission system. You can verify from all the posts and reviews available on the internet. You will n...

XUV 5OO W8 FWD Purchase date : 15/11/2011 Km Driven : 29000. Please don't buy this car. From first day I am having problems with my car. I will mention some good things about the car as well. Exterior, interior, seat covers are good. Mileage : 9 Kmpl (in Mumbai city) Mileage on the national highway : 14-15 Kmpl. Seats are very comfortable, my lower...

I got the XUV500 in Sept 2013 and I've done almost 1000km.  Look and Style: I believe it has got stunning looks and is a head turner. Some people say It was overstyled, but I like this extra attention to details, such as the design of the tail lamps with all that Chinese stuff. I think Mahindra has got the design right, perhaps what Indian wants fr...

Look and Style: Good.  Comfort: Average. Pickup: Good.  Mileage: Average.  I am writing to inform all of an honorific negative experience I had on 28th September when I bought XUV 500 W8 From K.S.Automobile, Udaipur. First when I showed my interest in the XUV ( No loan-self payment in one go), the sales team came down to my house but when I paid fu...

This is the worst car I have ever purchased and driven. They sell defective cars and then tell you that as per their policy they can only repair parts. They don't even replace the engine or gearbox  in less than 300 Km of use. So, it's better to buy a secondhand car rather than paying for a new one and getting it converted. Mahindra needs to improv...

Look and Style: It is definitely one of the better-looking SUVs out there.    Comfort: Very comfortable except for the last row.    Pickup: Good. It overtakes other vehicles without breaking a sweat.    Mileage: I have done about 15,000 km and I'm getting nearly 13kmpl.   Best Features: Its ride and handling, especially in the mountains with plenty...

Look and style: The XUV500's sole positive point is its looks  Comfort: I'd rather say, it is just ok! It takes a lot of courage to buy one as you need to visit service stations regularly to fix the ever-rising problems. This SUV is full of surprises as you don't know what all features are working and how long they'll work?  Pickup: The Duster, Inn...

Look and Style: It looks great. Comfort: Its a comfortable car. Pickup: Its good too. Mileage: Around  13Kmpl Needs to improve: I would like to suggest Mahindra to work on the quality of the plastics. Overall Experience: I have done around 5000 km on my XUV, including a  Delhi to Mumbai trip. It was a great experience. I have been from Delhi to Mum...

Look and Style: There is no doubt that the car has good appeal, commands respect and is an eye stopper.    Comfort: The front seat is extremely comfortable. It would have been worthwhile if the second row was also given the same contours for the back rest. The third row is a straight seat and extra leg room can be created by tilting the second-row ...

Look and Style: Great   Comfort: Ok    Pickup: Good   Mileage: 13Kmpl  Best Features: ABS Needs to improve: Software, decrease the cabin noise (especially in the  last row seats), pathetic plastic interiors and the irritating silver colored lines in the dash console which reflect on the windscreen all the time.  Overall Experience: It has just done...

Look and Style: It has good looks, however, the vehicle is vastly overrated.  Comfort: The leather seats give a better feel than the basic fabric. The plastics are extremely poor. The locks broke within three months of buying the vehicle. The electronics are absolutely crappy. The integrated sound system broke within two months of buying and they d...

Never buy XUV 500 Or any other new launch from Mahindra for 2 years from the date of launch. Within 25,000 km three breakdowns. 1. First, at 6000 km, the music console stopped working, of course, they replaced it quickly. 2. Power steering went out of gear at Mysore, they say fluid leak, it took two hours for the pickup truck to arrive and 4 days t...

Look and Style: Great looks and styling. Comfort: Seats are quite comfortable but for the last row they aren't.   Pickup is good enough with substantial power.    Mileage doesn't really bother me.  Best Features are the outer looks and the interior looks. Needs to improve on few things, once you rev up the engine for power the front end of the car ...

Look and Style : Ok  Comfort : Ok.  Pickup Ok  Mileage 10 to 12Kmpl  in the city and 14.5 to 16.5Kmpl on the Highways.  Needs to improve : Interior plastic quality.  2nd-row seat space is more than what is required and hence the 2nd row and 3rd row should have been kept on rails so that it would have been useful for making room for luggage.  Servic...

Felt proud to be the owner of XUV in  Dec 2011, but happiness was short lived. Now feel like a Genie pig getting experimented at our cost. Post sales support was great for the first 6 months, now there are no people to even answer your call and resolve serious issues. SKS automobiles in Bangalore sucks and is one of the worst service dealers in my ...

Mahindra & Mahindra Claims that the safety airbag will be deployed in case of a collision but in it didn't happen in my case. The car was hit by a speeding bus and the Airbags didn't deploy. The car was badly damaged and the passengers got hurt despite having the safety bag inside it.  

 I bought the XUV 500 W6 on 11th October, this car is very good in terms of acceleration, braking, and stability. NVH levels inside the car are also very good. Driving is also comfortable. However, the electronics are a bit of disappointment. Most of the sensors keep blinking despite any issue, LED has stopped working. I also had issues with the br...

Never ever decide just based on these reviews. Decide only once you analysed the vehicle. This is my experience with XUV500. It seems very attractive but has a lot of problems. Be it the steering, brakes, windshield, corner posts and what not I can list several problems that I saw in this car. Especially dealer and service support in Hyderabad is p...

Look and Style : Aggressive and bold looks matching with international standards. Tough looks and a tougher metal frame. Unique styling doesn't need words to describe.  Comfort: Unmatched comfort for the driver and co-drivers. Seats at a good height. Excellent road visibility. Rear seat 2nd row could have been better. 3rd row seats not meant for pe...

So, I bought the XUV 500, W8 FWD in July 2012. Now, the car has completed 1100 km and already got problems with suspension, and noise inside the cabin. First, I tried to book an appointment and that took 2 days. I received several calls and SMS telling me the name of my relationship manager. So, I tried to call him on Saturday, and he told me someo...

I had purchased as all back seat can be put down and made as a full bed. I purchased an air bed of 6ft by 3.5ft and for my long drives, I keep it on back seats down. The Worst part of a long drive is when the kids get cranky by the time you reach the place, they will be exhausted and you will be exhausted too making them quiet. With the bed behind,...

I was one of the first to get delivery of the XUV- W8 in Mumbai and the XUV was good for initial 2-3 months. Now there is a list of problems 1. The clutch paddle problem  2. The brake pump problem & brake pads noise  3. Clutch failure with problems in the engine (not to mention faulty GPS system, which gets stuck at various points, and you have to ...

All the electronic features are good if they work well, seating space in the third row should be improved and the boot space is negligible while travelling with 7 persons. The plastic quality should also be improved. Overall the experience was very good as I took the test drive of this car twice and I found it rather better than the Innova. Innova ...

Look and Style: Definitely the XUV500 is a crowd puller with its stylish looks and aerodynamic contours. I like the sleekness of the body and design of the body. Mahindra has added electronic features in the car with GPS, Bluetooth, DVD player, touch screen, voice recognition and what not. Though, I have my doubts with the robustness of these elect...
