Which is Better Mahindra XUV500 OR Tata Aria?
When we compare the cars in terms of their looks, then Mahindra XUV500 gets a clean chit.

It accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 15 seconds. This concludes that Aria is better in pickup but XUV produces more torque. In terms of features, XUV triumphs the battle.
Mahindra leaves behind Aria by just a step as it has a fuel efficiency of 12 km/l but the Aria has 11km/l, in the town . They both give 14 km/l of mileage on the highways. When the price comes to consideration, XUV is available at Rs. 10.88 - Rs. 12.8 Lakhs and the Aria costs a little bit more, i.e. Rs. 12.90 – Rs. 15.50 Lakhs.
