Mahindra Quanto [2012-2016] User Reviews

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.

Look, Particularly the back side view of vehiclevery uncomfortable last two row,

Exterior Decent and stylish.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good space, easy to hold loads luggages in the rear.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Avg fuel economy shows 18 to 20 sometimes 22 on highway rides. good to believe if its true.

Ride Quality & Handling Good comfort, second row seats could have been with reclining option, but considering the sub 4m, it may not have been possible. AC for middle row was a problem, it hardly was reaching. after the first service it was rectified and is very effiecient now.

Final Words Very good value for money for those looking at a big car with lots of space, decent practical comfort, ride quality.

Areas of improvement Rear door gets shaky, i had this once and got it tightened, the problem is regurring again, possibly due to teh heavy weight of the door. Wipers are of poor quality.

Space, featuresless comfort in middle row, minor troubles with rear door after long usage

Exterior

Exterior seems to be very Good. Liked it very much as compare it with the Ertiga. Style is new or we can say that it is mini Xylo with added falvours.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Interior is very good with nice features. Seems having all the features that a competetior car having in it's top model. Space seems to be less as compare with Ertiga. Also, overall length is less in MUV class.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Fuel economy is OK.

Ride Quality & Handling

 N/A

Final Words

 As concluded from the comparison, this is the value for money car and may be the cheapest in it's segment with such features and style. Space seems to be less as per overall length and 07 seats. Interior is good with nice features.

Areas of improvement  

 Ground Clearance to be improved. Seems to be clearance is very less as compare with overall hieght of the car.

 

Good Style as compare with ErtigaOverall Length is less as compare with Ertiga.

Exterior

 Overall looks good if you really like a fat chubby kid running around. hope this kid dont get hurt.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Baby seats should be positioned in driving direction. Side sitting will be comfortable?

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Generally good. Why my gear box is not dashboard mounted. it will add beauty na. Turbo boost is right from start like xylo or should reach certain rpm like other diesel cars

Ride Quality & Handling

 A Tall boy can be controlled easily.

Final Words

 A good alternative for sumo, grande sumo. Now a tough competition for Tata. However I dont think it will be a competitor for ertiga or duster. my weekends will be completely occupied if i get this kid in my family. Wish you all happy motoring with mahindra quonto.

Areas of improvement  

 Parking assist should be in upper middle variant. Any secret box in quonto

 

Big thrill packed in a small boySeating arrangements

Exterior Exterior has the same look of xylo. Well curved body contour gives a fine touch to good look. Wheels look bit small for 1.5L engine.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is loaded with features. Good looking dash board. Front seats are comfortable. Long leg room for driver. Middle row seats are pretty flat and lacks support for thighs, which can cause discomfort in long drives. Third row is literally meant for children, that too small children. In third row, adults cannot sit with head straight, if adults sit in third row, head will literally touch the back door. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance looks good, but not yet driven.

Ride Quality & Handling Low ground clearnace compared to Duster can cause off road driving problems.

Final Words Third row seats are stuffed in. Middle row can accommodate three fat people comfortably. Back door needs to be made straight to avoid third row passangers constantly banging their head to the door. Overall value for money. Front row passangers will enjoy long drives, while middle and third row passangers will curse long drives.

Areas of improvement Third row seats must be made spacy, back door needs to be made flat to get some extra space. Need to have high rails to give a tall boy look.

Good exterior looks. Sufficient headroom.Back seats are meant for small children not for adults. Third row seats lack under thigh cushions.

Exterior is gud stepny at the back looks very gud nd over all design looks gud its a complete compack suv nd even gud for city driving and easy to park at conjusted places.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior space is too gud nd armrest at front seat is very comfortable nd driver information system helps alot overall a gud car high ground clearance is gud for the indian roads nd so many things which helps in daily use like charging points at all 3 rows big big rear view mirrors.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox All r gud bt Mahindra should work on fuel efficiency.

Ride Quality & Handling is good.

Final Words a gud car to have in this price tag i have booked one c6 black .in 7 lacks u can get only base models of any sedan or can get a hatch bt this car realy worth it.

Areas of improvement Fuel efficiency wooden touch on dash nd electricaly folding outer view mirrors, stearing controls,folding middle seats.

Space,drive seat height adjustable,abs,ebd,arm rest nd much moreFuel efficient is bit low conjusted 3rd row

Exterior is very good looking , smart compact urban SUV body, feels like riding SUV, plastic used inside the interior is not upto the mark, vibrates of shaky and bumpy roads, road clearance is good enough, performance of engine is good, Economical if terms of fuel consumption, Excellant running of highways, Ride smooth on highways but little difficult on bumpy roads, last rear seats as not suitable for adults, only childred in emergency can be sitted, AC require some improvement and rear seat is not feeling comfortable with the performance.

Long ride abount 600-700 kms in Haryana Rajasthan without any break and feel comfortable with the car, only bumpy roads may cause inconvinenace due to high seating. Suspension may be improved so that minimum jerks to the passeger on rear seats.  Mahindra has overlook the  comfort of passenger, middle  seat should be more comfortable and it should be make foldable so that boot space increase if  require.

Improvement required:  suspension and interior.

Overall Performance: Very Good, Value to money.

Budget Urban SUV, Open new segement in Indian marketPoor plastic used in interiors

Exterior Looks ok. The wheel looks too small. For such a big vehicle

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Can be better. Lots of small boxes around.. Didnt really fancy the idea of having two charging points at third row, hardly a person can sit.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Could drive only up to 40 to 50kmph (thanks to Bangalore traffic). Driving was quite easy. There was no clear feel for gear shift.. (Yes, I cant expect the same refinement, what Maruti offers). It didn't matter for the car whether it was 2nd or 1st gear in bumper to bumper traffic.

Ride Quality & Handling Couldnt try much. Again I may take some time to adjust if I buy this. What i drive is a estilo, a humble hatch back. But initial acceleration, there is a lag. Probably I was not giving enough rev.

Lot of reviews, i read about body-rolling and bad suspension. This is something iam yet to check. 

Final Words Good car. altogether. Yet to try high speed handling

Areas of improvement Gear shift needs some refinement. High speed quality i cant comment(Not tried).

Sitting height, A possibility of 7 seaterGear box

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.
