While the XUV400's exterior and performance have been well met, its interior has been criticised as feeling outdated in relation to rivals. Hard plastics and a design that seems carried over from older Mahindra models don’t give the cabin the premium feel the vehicle’s price point demands, some users argue. But others argue that the interior is practical, and that cutting costs means better performance and range. It's a debate about whether the driving experience — and features — can make up for an interior that's less than stellar in a segment where interior quality is becoming more important.
