Mahindra Quanto [2012-2016] User Reviews

I m owning a mahindra quonto from jan 2013. The car is not cooling. Ac vent is not of use. This car ac can be used only in winter because in every climatic condition it only heats up.

[The car is giving mileage of not more than 10 kmpl but cmpany promised 17.2 kmpl. The car spares r making noise in just 10 month god knows what will happen further. Instead u should by a tractor instead of quonto because that will be your moneyvalue. [ U SHOULD 1ST TEST DRIVE FOR 2 OR 4 HOURS OF YOUR FRIENDS SO THAT U WILL EXPERIANCE MY WORDS ON YOUR OWN]. Bying this car is worthless the paint of this car is being decayed up in 10 month so I not need more thing u shud understand on your own if exterior is not good what will be he quality of interior. If you want to contact me for further details call me :- 7208XXXXXX.

Exterior Exterior of this car is quite attractive, particularly when you see from the back side of the vehicle, however the fitting of extra wheel is poor but it  looking very nice, head lamps are good,front grill is also good giving a very smooth look ORVM are not as per status of top end, body colour in white is also not good giving a taxi look.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Driver and co driver seats are comfortable, rest of the vehicle is only on the basis of indian "Jugaad" which is totally uncomfortable, headrest of middle row may anytime give you backache so don't try, dash board is good but speedometre is very poor as usual or the other mahindra vehicle the company may go for other design and colour like yeti, duster but they used the same technology as in the xylo so that is not giving proper look however the colour of stereo lights and AC knob is soothing and giving good orange look, air pressure of AC vent is also not  sufficient to give air to third row, second row person may accomodate in this season but in hot 45 degree how the AC will work that is to be tested in future. No arm rest given in the second  row  so  when two people travelling with chauffer they must feel uncomfortable, I am wonder that why the mohindra people are not taking feed back from the existing customers or in general.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 1497 cc powerful engine giving good output so a fine response is coming in slow driving and pick up is also quite comfortable but the 3 cyllinder engine is doubtful for long performance in future hence the company restricted its warranty up to 50000 km or two year in comparision to 3 year or 1 lac km to play safely.  Gear box is quite comfortable for a SUV but company can do better for it that may be much smooth and handy.  Last but not least the fuel economy of the vehicle which will always be doubt ful as it can't go beyond 12 in the city condition and 15kmpl in the highway as it has the maiden body weight of 1650 plus passenger and luggage, the company claim 17+ which may true in standard conditions when the vehicle is empty and not having full load of passengers and luggage.

Ride Quality & Handling Suspension of vehicle is quite good but as the vehicle is less then 4000mm in length so it can't go as luxry sedan car, people are comparing to this with sedan that is not fair but overall it is a good combination.

Final Words It is a good vehicle in such price for those who compromise with the comfort of other co-passengers.

Areas of improvement Middle seat may readjusted the engineers of the company may chek it out if they just give 2 to 3 in ch bend with some good upwholestry in the seat, the same seat may comfortable they may also chek the headrest which are totally uncomfortable, air pressure of AC vent, if they can not exceed air pressure then the company may provide seperate a.c. vent for rear passengers this will definately problematic in hot wheather, according to a small vehiche in SUV category the gear live looks odd it may be replace with a small lever with a good looking mahindra logo knob with a console on the same area like in "evalia" of Nissan  Motor, engineer must think about the design of speedometre and looks lights it can be improve with a small adjustments. The white colour vehicle look like off white so the milky white colour look better and give a seperate look from the other one xylo.

I bought Quanto C8 in Oct. 2012 and it went well in eary 2-3 months but as if when i have driven 23000 driven, i can say that i am NOT satisfied with Mahindra Quanto C8. One of my Tyres of Bridge stone has plumped out froma side, engine is making lot of vibration. Bush uder radiater have worned out and service centers don't have it as spare. Mechanics are not trained and most of the service centers are doing service of all the Mahindra vehicles under one shed. Supervisor Sharma in Roorkee center trys to fool the customers. On my 3rd service when i left the my vehicle for one day, my pendrive and jack rod got stolen. What ever compaints they have addressed, they reoccured after some time.

Interiors are Very noisy inside, seats and dash board make noise. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox:  Engine vibrations are very high. Ride Quality & Handling: Cluch is so tight that i gets paining in left leg even agter small journey. Final Words: NOT Satisfied with its performance. Areas of improvement Clutch, engine vibrations.

Exterior

 nice, good finish, door and sheet joints have larger gap(particularly on rear door and front hood). 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 material is good, seats looks cheap(leather covers must). SPacious car

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 have driven 13000km with few long trips os 1300km in day.

engine performs nice. smooth ride at 110-120kmph.more than expected from 3 cyl car.

15-16kmpl fuel economy.

gearbox jerks on 3 rd gear. this problem is consistent after 10000km drive also. have to adjust with driving style.

Ride Quality & Handling

 good. I am facing malfunctioning in electronics. A serious problem during starting.

Final Words

 good car but came in market without performance research(electronic malfuctioning).

Areas of improvement  

 service part. must satisfy customers(at least during warrenty) to ensure further sales. Otherwise it would be a fiasco. Mechanical part is Good enough but electronics malfunctioning in not tolerable. It wont let the engine to start. 

 It took 20 days in resolving the problem and still in workshop.

Hope things would be improved to the earliest and want make me a sufferer from first car.

Exterior Exterior is good and has fresh look to the usual SUV hence can be found to be dashing looks and a head turner.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Every thing looks good like quality, quantity & space. This car is useful for 5 adult & 2 Children/ thin members.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Everything looks good & very specific for use. I am thankful to Mahindra & Mahindra that while designing a Car every small thing take in to the account for comfort. I had drive 1200 Km, I got 16.20 Km/l so I have no problem for that. While gear changing is little harder, some problem in second gear while driving.

Ride Quality & Handling Due to its height, you will fell pride to drive. While driving a car at 140 km speed no vibration, no noisy atmosphere inside the car u never fell that u r car driving at 140.

Final Words Excellent. Far Far batter then DUSTOR.

Areas of improvement Back seat, Gear box.

Exterior

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Not very exciting exceleration but one it takes pick up its fun to ride, city mileage 14 - 15 highway 18 with AC , gearbox is a little hard

Ride Quality & Handling

Decent Ride quality and handeling.

Final Word

I purchased my SUV on 28th December 2014 and have driven almost 11000 km purchased it for 8 lacks as i got a discount of 1 lack bcoz of year end discount. Absolutely no issues. I really dont understand what people want in this budget. I reasearched on this SUV for 1 year then took it. I also called the people who were selling their quanto on carwale and other websites. 

People should understand its not a car its a SUV so dont expect pickup like a car or handeling. Only people who want to buy a budget SUV and like to drive a SUV buy it.

I am really happy with My Quanto. 

any body has question feel free to call me on 9325585858

Areas of improvement  

 Scope of improvement on Gearbox and big tyres and if possible reduce the weight for more better pickup. Poor servecind done from Silverjublee motors pune hadapsar.

Try to improve the after sales service from Silver Jublee motors Pune

Exterior Good looks and apearance.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Feature loaded , lot of space and confort. No one is tired after 500 KM . Plains or Hills kaccha or Pakka road or no road - it takes me smooth.. Loaded with features and so easy and confortable drive . Love it after 72000 KM.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Enigne is powerful and stong on highways and Hills as well,but dies at low rpm unless shiftt to 1st gear on mud  roads going uphill and its rainy.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality s great after yo get used to a litte rool.

Final Words Fantastic First SUV. Value for Money. Just experience it if you want an SUV at 8-9 lac range. Singleof Famil drive - it is all comfort.

Areas of improvement Please  wheels 18". Offer in Automatic version  and also 4 x 4 version, Add features like sun roof and climate controll and cruze control as options.I mean allow Quanto fans to upgrade whe they wish to invest and enjoy.

Exterior Good but need to have a different look than Xylo. Especially front side. It looks like a MUV & not a SUV.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Int are same as Xylo. Should be more premium. Front seats armrest quality is poor. Otherwise OK. Some of the features like snacks tray, bottle holders, two row of lamps are good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Overall good. Does not feel exhausted.

Ride Quality & Handling Good. Good height, which gives good road visibility. Some amount of body roll.

Final Words Good buy except the a/c. The a/c is practically absent. It does not cool at all. The air does not even reach 2nd row. Third row feels suffocated. M&M must work on these aspects. Otherwise a very practical car in the given price. Mahindra could think on increasing the third row space by taking the spare wheel off the rear door and still maintain the length below 4m. 

Areas of improvement A/c must be improved. Also work on exterior front looks & third row seats / space.

Exterior

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Good

Ride Quality & Handling

 The car has some basic problems, U need to get your AC Filter choked in every 40-45 days, So in Summers its a challenge. Winters, Hot Air starts after driving of 8- 10 KM,(by the time you reach office), ABS Indicator Remains ON, Noisy Car, Irritating Noises from eithers Door, or Seats or Shocker will keep on troubling. One need to bear atleast one noise at a time.

Final Words

 Not worth Buying as Family vehicle.

Areas of improvement  

 Basic Design needs to be rechecked , Major Flaws in , AC, Blower, Noise ,ABS, May be they need to work on Quality Issues. Its beautiful Ride on Non Bumpy, Smell Free, NON (AC/Blower), With all features malfunctioning one by one, Just some carefullness would have made this a beautiful car. Any hows, Thats upto M&M to decide I bought it i regret it.
