Editorial Test Drive Review of Mahindra XUV500

The Mahindra XUV500 was launched in September 2011 and received a crazy response with huge amount of bookings. It was a massive hit for Mahindra. The XUV500 stands tall and proud with looks that shame other offerings which are priced at almost double the cost. It has massive road presence and stuff like the LEDs integrated into the head lamp or the bulging rear simply add to the whole package. The side profile is more natural and at more than one instance, it did remind us of the Mitsubishi Outlander! You also notice the muscular design lines above the wheel arches, the typical Mahindra grille and the twin exhausts which give a proper hint of this vehicle’s capabilities. Other interesting bits include the funky ‘paw’ door handles and the sexy tail lamps with motif engravings. It won’t be wrong to say that the XUV500 easily generates more attention than its main rivals in this price band, the Force One and the Tata Aria.

Inside it does have seven seats but due to its limited length, the last row is best suited only for kids. Also, with the third row in place, there is next to no boot space left inside. Secondly, at places, the fit and finish of the plastics isn’t really upto the mark – these two things are just about the only negatives we found in the SUV and hence wanted to mentioned them first. The good part starts now – step inside and you are shocked with the package Mahindra has managed here. From the extreme design lines to the feature list and space, the XUV500 simply surpasses its immediate rivals as well as others priced at almost double the cost easily. The top end W8 model is loaded to the brim including leather seats and touch screen system for various functions. Thoughtful features are the conversation mirror for the driver, flowing central console, chilled box under the driver arm rest, cruise control, voice command for audio and cruise system.

The XUV500 has a 140 hp diesel engine. It is also mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox and a similar speed automatic is expected next year. Twist the key and the engine starts with a rather muted sound and clatter – thanks to all that NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) packaging possible by various changes including the dual mass flywheel. Expect 12 kmpl.

This is truly a highway vehicle and the engine literally sleeps in 6th cog. The amount of torque and power generated is so huge that pedal to metal in lower gears, one needs to take note of the torque steer – easily felt through the gear lever. The XUV500 also comes with the start-stop feature that works when the vehicle is stationary in neutral for over 2.5 seconds.

The suspension is easily the new benchmark in the SUV segment. On straights, the long wheelbase and aerodynamic front meant that it felt reassuringly stable even at its top speed of an indicated 195km/h. Around the hills, the ESP gives you that extra confidence and this combined with low centre of gravity and minimal body rolls make the SUV a joy to flick around corners.

The XUV500 on the other hand not only surprises by being so accomplished but also walks away with the cake due to its pricing – from Rs 10.80 to Rs 12.88 lakh. The icing on the cake that the XUV500 walks away with is the long list of standard features – due to limited space, we simply cannot name them here. For a detailed look read below..

Mahindra XUV500 Interiors

The XUV500 isn’t as long as some of the rivals but is wider than most. It does have seven seats but due to its limited length, the last row is best suited only for kids. Also, with the third row in place, there is next to no boot space left inside. Secondly, at places, the fit and finish of the plastics isn’t really upto the mark – these two things are just about the only negatives we found in the SUV and hence wanted to mentioned them first. The good part starts now – step inside and you are shocked with the package Mahindra has managed here. From the extreme design lines to the feature list and space, the XUV500 simply surpasses its immediate rivals as well as others priced at almost double the cost easily. The top end W8 model is loaded to the brim including leather seats and touch screen system for various functions. Infact, the feeling one gets while seated in any of the seats is that of a high end premium SUV costing much more. Space is very generous in the first two rows and seats are heavily bolstered thus offering comfort of the higher order. Everywhere you look, you see detailing to the core. For instance, the speedometer console that looks terrific at night. Thoughtful features are the conversation mirror for the driver, flowing central console, chilled box under the driver arm rest, cruise control, voice command for audio and cruise system etc. The huge windows also add to the overall airy feeling inside.

The 2nd row passenger comfort is also high. The front seats are placed higher which means rear passengers get good foot-well area. You also get a central arm rest which also houses cup-holders, air-con vents in the side pillars and a completely flat floor which adds to the leg space incase three passengers sit at the rear.

Mahindra XUV500 Exteriors

Size and looks matter in the premium SUV category in India and the Mahindra designers knew this very well. The XUV500 stands tall and proud with looks that shame other offerings which are priced at almost double the cost! At 4585mm in length, 1890mm in width and 1785mm high, the XUV might be smaller in length than offerings like the Aria, Endeavour, Captiva but at the same time, it is wider than the Endeavour, Captiva and even the Fortuner. As compared to its own cheaper sibling, the Scorpio, the XUV500 is around 3 inches wider and 6 inches longer.
Developed with a budget of Rs 650 crore, the XUV certainly has been given priority and attention as far as design goes. It has an extreme front end but for some, it might be overdone. However, the kind of attention this vehicle enjoys is unparalled – for two days the vehicle was with us, it generated more stares, questions and attention from others than any of the premium SUVs we have ever driven! It isn’t a traditional looking SUV, but an extreme one. It has massive road presence and stuff like the LEDs integrated into the head lamp or the bulging rear simply add to the whole package. The side profile is more natural and at more than one instance, it did remind us of the Mitsubishi Outlander! You also notice the muscular design lines above the wheel arches, the typical Mahindra grille and the twin exhausts which give a proper hint of this vehicle’s capabilities. Other interesting bits include the funky ‘paw’ door handles and the sexy tail lamps with motif engravings.

Mahindra XUV500 Comfort & Suspension

We drove the 2WD version of the W8 model and inspite of this, the XUV handled all kinds of terrains without a complain – be it the treacherous off-road locations or simply pushing the SUV around the twisty stretches. The suspension is easily the new benchmark in the SUV segment. The route from Mahindra’s facility in Mumbai to Lonavala is mostly a good patch of city and highway stretch apart from a few broken paths and this gave us a good indication of the XUV’s set-up. Day two saw us pushing the vehicle on empty stretches of the expressway, hills of Lonavala and broken paths around the hills – everywhere, the XUV responded back impressively. On straights, the long wheelbase and aerodynamic front meant that it felt reassuringly stable even at its top speed of an indicated 195km/h. Around the hills, the ESP gives you that extra confidence and this combined with low centre of gravity and minimal body rolls make the SUV a joy to flick around corners. Our test vehicle was a 2WD version (front wheel drive only) and yet had didn’t make us feel nervous while pushing hard! This is unlike other Mahindra offerings like the Scorpio and the Xylo!

What we like	The suspension is easily the new benchmark in the SUV segment.
What we don't like	The refinement could have been better

Mahindra XUV 500 Suspension

Mahindra XUV500 Engine & Performance

There is a small myth associated with the XUV500 – it has the same engine as the Scorpio’s! While this is fairly true in the sense that it indeed is the same basic unit with the same capacity, its engine output is way higher – 15% more power and 14% more torque and that too at a lower engine speed! It is also mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox and a similar speed automatic is expected next year. Twist the key and the engine starts with a rather muted sound and clatter – thanks to all that NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) packaging possible by various changes including the dual mass flywheel. Shift to first, release the clutch and within the first few minutes, you are mighty impressed with the punch, performance and refinement! Turbo lag is minimal and the XUV finds no problem in picking speeds from low RPMs – for example, you can ponder in traffic at 40km/h in 4th easily. That said, the same gear can take you 150+ without a jiffy.
This is truly a highway vehicle and the engine literally sleeps in 6th cog. At an indicated 120km/h for example, the tachometer shows around 2250rpm – a dap on the accelerator and within seconds it is past 150km/h. We managed an indicated 195km/h in 6th which is much more than what most of the competition can manage. This performance doesn’t come at the cost of fuel economy with the XUV500 being the most efficient in its class. The 6th cog also helps generating maximum efficiency at highway speeds though it can also be used above 70km/h easily. That said, the only flaw we saw was the gearshift action – it felt rubbery and we specially had issues with shifting in 1st gear.
The amount of torque and power generated is so huge that pedal to metal in lower gears, one needs to take note of the torque steer – easily felt through the gear lever. The XUV500 also comes with the start-stop feature that works when the vehicle is stationary in neutral for over 2.5 seconds. It can be switched on or off by the driver via the button on the central console. The XUV500 also comes with hill descent control system – superb for this pricing!

Mahindra XUV500 Handling Braking & Safety

On straights, the long wheelbase and aerodynamic front meant that it felt reassuringly stable even at its top speed of an indicated 195km/h. Around the hills, the ESP gives you that extra confidence and this combined with low centre of gravity and minimal body rolls make the SUV a joy to flick around corners. Our test vehicle was a 2WD version (front wheel drive only) and yet had didn’t make us feel nervous while pushing hard! This is unlike other Mahindra offerings like the Scorpio and the Xylo! The steering might not be very light for city usage or weight up perfectly at highway speeds but again, for a Mahindra offering and at this price, the overall driving experience is of the highest possible order that one expects! The all disc brake set-up along with the electronic aids adds to the overall composed braking feel. That said, under hard braking, the Bridgestone Duelers do squeal way too much. There are dual airbags for driver and front passenger and there are side and curtain airbags

Hi Guys, I am thinking of buying this SUV after getting fantastic reviews from India. I am in Australia and Mahindra has just launched the 2WD and the AWD versions at AUD30,000 and AUD33,000. The closest competitor would cost atleast AUD45,0000 which is a

Thanks for the detailed test drive analysis. you have not mentioned few of the key points like how does AWD works in off
road conditions, how about comparison with other SUVs. I also felt the middle seat should have sliding capability to
adjust the space Reply to this post

mokir eshi ori | Posted on Apr,20,2013 at 14:03 PM
when the middle sit would have sliding facility for the passengers sitting in the 3rd row

Dilip | Posted on Oct,20,2011 at 17:14 PM
Agree Ravi. This would have given some additional leg room for the people sitting in the 3rd row.
