How practical is the Mahindra Xylo's boxy design, a deal breaker or an advantage?

With the Mahindra Xylo around for more than a decade now, the boxy, utilitarian form of the car have been spearheaded as subjects for debate among car lovers. It is said to be too old and ugly by some, and too handy with more interior space and better visibility by others. Of course the design also influences factors such as aerodynamics, fuel efficiency, etc. The Xylo's shape can then be compared with other SUVs and MPVs that look and function more modern. Does that boxy design lend itself to being more versatile in its uses or does that keep it from appealing to a wider range of people? How does the design change stuff like parking, maneuverability in tight spaces, resale value?
