Is the Mahindra Xylo's popularity in rural areas to the detriment of its suitability for urban driving?

I really think it depends on the city. The Xylo is fine in a place with wider roads and more open spaces. But what if the city was old and the lanes were narrow? Forget about it. Something smaller would be better.

If you drive between the city and rural areas as I do, then you will love the Xylo's versatility. It’s not the best at everything, but it is good enough at most things. Jack of all trades, master of none, but very good at it.
Is the Mahindra Xylo's lack of modern features a bad thing or a good thing for long term ownership?

I've had my Xylo 8 years and I love the simplicity. I have no fancy electronics to go haywire, and I can fix most things myself. It may not have all the latest gadgets, but it starts every time and does the job.

Lack of features is a huge drawback, no way. Today cars are more than just transportation. What I want is Bluetooth, a decent infotainment system and current safety features. The Xylo feels like it’s in the past.

It's a double-edged sword. Yeah, it’s more reliable to some degree, but good luck trying to sell it when you want to upgrade. Today, people expect certain features, and the Xylo just doesn’t deliver on that.

It's all relative I think, and who you are and what you want. The Xylo's simplicity is great if you’re the type who keeps a car until it dies. However, if you like to change cars every couple of years, you will find it outdated pretty quickly.

Since I am a fleet owner, I like the basic nature of the Xylo. It’s easy to keep up with and my drivers aren’t distracted by extraneous bells and whistles. Maybe I would want something more modern for personal use, but for business? It's perfect.
Do you get the build quality and reliability that you pay for in the XUV700?

Over a year now with the XUV700 and the build quality has been just great. No rattles, no issues. The day I bought it it feels just as solid.

It’s hit or miss on the build quality, to be honest. My panel gaps were inconsistent and mine had some annoying rattles from day one. The price is not terrible, but not what I expected for the price.

I don't think people are harsh enough on Mahindra. Their previous models are a huge step up from the XUV700. Is it perfect? No. It's definitely competitive in its segment though.

The build quality is decent, but it’s the long term reliability that will see the test. I am now at 30,000 km and while I have had a couple minor issues, nothing major has come up. Time will tell.

I was skeptical about Mahindra, coming from a Honda. I have been pleasantly surprised by the XUV700. The materials are pretty good for the price point and it feels to be well built.
Does the XUV700's thirstiness justify its performance?
30 December 2024 06:23
It’s totally worth it. Yeah, it drinks fuel like it’s going out of style, but the way it pulls is just amazing. Every time I floor it, I smile.

I should have got the petrol version. City traffic mileage is atrocious and I'm spending a fortune on fuel. It's good performance, but not worth the running costs.

It's all about perspective. A powerful SUV is not what you should be looking at if you want a fuel sipper. I think the XUV700 does a decent job for what it is.

With careful driving, I've found you can actually get decent mileage. If you're heavy on the throttle, though, you're going to be eye watering fuel bills.

Go for the diesel version. On highways, you get the best of both worlds: great performance, and reasonable fuel efficiency.
Is this infotainment system in the XUV700 a deal breaker?
30 December 2024 06:23
The infotainment system is honestly not as bad as some people make it out to be. But yeah, it has its quirks like everything these days. It's been mostly smooth sailing for me with mine, I've had it for 6 months.

30 December 2024 06:23
Are you kidding? It's a nightmare infotainment system. Randomly it freezes, the touch response is horrible and don't even get me started with the connectivity issues. Mahindra still can't get this right in 2024?

It depends I think on what your expectations are. You might be disappointed if you're coming from a high end German car. For it's price point, it's actually pretty decent. It has big screen and features.
