Is the Mahindra XUV900 the hype it’s being made out to be?

Hype is not the game, execution is. Yes, it is worth the excitement if Mahindra can deliver a reliable product with all the promised features at a competitive price. But that's a big "if".

I’m an automotive enthusiast and I’m excited about the XUV900. This proves that Indian manufacturers are able to manufacture world class designs. It’s either going to live up to the hype or not, but it’s pushing the industry forward.

ADAS on Indian roads? Good luck with that! These systems do not work well with our unpredictable traffic. Our "creative" lane usage is already having a meltdown with the lane keeping assist.

The time has come for India to get ADAS. It’s not perfect at first but it will make both drivers and infrastructure better. Indian roads may be moving towards a safer future with the XUV900.

I am skeptical about the effectiveness of ADAS in India because I have used ADAS in Europe. On highways, the systems are great, but in city traffic? I think it will be a headache rather than help.

I am concerned about overreliance on these systems. Indian drivers already have a reputation as reckless. What if they begin to rely on ADAS and it does not see a cow crossing the road?

ADAS is just a marketing gimmick for the Indian market at the moment. These features will be more trouble than they are worth until our infrastructure gets much better.

I'm cautiously optimistic. If these systems have truly been adapted to Indian conditions by Mahindra, it would be revolutionary. If it's a copy paste from their international models, we're looking at a rough ride.

Also, as a tech enthusiast, I am very excited about ADAS in the XUV900. It’s not perfect, but it’s a starting point. To improve road safety in India, we have to start somewhere, and this may be it.

Absolutely! Quality and design have come a long way in Mahindra. The XUV900 seems promising and can be a threat to international brands as it will be priced at lesser cost.

Compete? Maybe. Beat them? Unlikely. Mahindra still does not have the brand value of a BMW or Mercedes; let’s be honest. It will take more than one good model to change that perception.

I think Mahindra has an actual shot here. No international brand understands the Indian market better than them. If they can hit the luxury aspect right, they could have a big market share.

I’ve owned Mahindra cars as well as German cars and I can say that the gap is closing. However, there is still work to do for Mahindra in terms of refinement and build quality. To compete, the XUV900 has to be flawless.

The car is part of the experience. Can Mahindra provide similar premium dealership and after sales service as luxury brands? It is that which will decide whether the XUV900 makes the cut in this segment.

I believe we are asking the wrong question. Mahindra should instead come up with something unique rather than competing directly. They can’t beat the Germans at their own game, but they can change the rules.

Let's not forget pricing. Mahindra will find plenty of takers if they can offer 80% of luxury and features at 60% of the price. Not all people need German badges on their car.

I want Mahindra to win, but come on. BMW and Mercedes have decades of engineering expertise and brand value built up. The XUV900 might be a good product but it will not be a game changer in this segment.
Does the dilution of the Mahindra Thar's iconic status come at the cost of the 4x2 LX Automatic variant?

Nah, it's just evolution. There are also 2WD versions of the Jeep Wrangler and it’s still an icon. The Thar's 4x4 system isn't what makes the Thar what it is; it's the Thar's looks and heritage.

There is no doubt that this waters down the Thar's image a bit. It’s as if you’ve got a sports car with an underpowered engine, it doesn’t feel right at all.

I feel it actually adds to the Thar’s status. Making it more accessible makes more people experience and appreciate what’s special about the Thar.
