Mahindra XUV500 is my companion from last two years and I never faced any issues with it yet. It is just made for a smooth and comfortable ride. It allows me to go over potholes without braking hard. Even it crosses speed breakers by lowering the speed to 30 without much fuss. All I want to say here is, XUV500 is meant for the bad roads of India. The interior space is a mixed bag; it depends on where you are seated as 1st and 2nd row have more legroom than the 3rd row. The space it provides is enough for 7 passengers but the third row is not meant for tall person. I have done many long tours on my XUV and never felt tired after such a long hectic drives because of its ease of drive and comfort. Riding it at 100+ speed is different fun one can have. There are lots of storage spaces in XUV. In the terms of mileage, I am getting anywhere from 11-12 kmpl in city roads and on highways I get 16-17 kmpl. The only problem I have faced yet is lack of boot space with 7 passenger.

Pros: Spacious Cabin, Style, Comfort, Facilities
Cons: Lack of Boot Space (without spliting seats)
The Mahindra XUV500 is an attractive package, providing value to buyers with its powerful engine and long equipment list. It's design is a mixed bag, but I like the overall design. The tail lamp is powerful and looks different at night, even from a distance. There are lots of storage spaces in this SUV and specifically above the centre console which I like the most. Because it is easy to keep parking tickets. Mahindra has done an extremely good job, as far as handling is concerned. There is minimal body roll, even at high speeds. It has great pickup and suspension is also equally good. It has got seating capacity of seven people and is very spacious and comfortable from inside. The six speed manual transmission is little bit notchy and the gears don't reassuringly slot in place, which spoils the whole driving experience a bit. Despite its amazing power output and high kerb weight, it returned a respectable fuel efficiency figure of 12.5 km/l.
Best Features: Powerful Engine
Pros: Decent handling, spacious interiors, powerful engine, aggressive styling
Cons: Notchy gear shifts
