The Mahindra XUV900 will be a coupe and that raises the question of practicality.

I believe that Mahindra made a wise decision by opting for the coupe design. Yes, you might lose some headroom, but the XUV900 will appear unique in a sea of boxy SUVs. And sometimes style is worth the tradeoff.

Practicality? Gone out the window! This coupe design is form over function and Indian families need space. Any day, I would rather have a proper SUV.

It's all about balance. If Mahindra has done its homework, it can come up with a stylish and practical coupe SUV. The BMW X6 is able to do it.

I'm worried about visibility. Sure, that sloping roofline might look cool, but it'll be a pain trying to reverse or change lanes in heavy traffic.

Mahindra is getting underestimated here. They know the Indian market. They must have figured out ways to make the best use of the space despite the coupe design. We should wait and see before judging.

The real question is: do we need another coupe SUV? Manufacturers seem to be just following trends without taking into account what the consumers really need. I would rather see innovation in electric vehicles or in fuel efficiency.
