Mahindra Xylo [2012-2014] User Reviews

1. Not bad 2. Good for Highway.. not good for zig zag rods.. or hilly road. 3. Look is good. May be height is more. It would better if it's less. 4. Servicing is good not too much. 5. Do not have second hand car market. For Xylo.

 

Exterior Body is very light and weak acoording to innova the bumpers are very pure plastic qality made even the maruti 800 bumpers r seem hard.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Overall little ok hadnling on road at 90 speed not smooth just like roller costa.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performance of engine is not like innova its more refine then xylo my bad luck i buy xylo in year 2009 after few month in summer the ECR valve something like that what they ask is comletly shutdown and stooped working with that car pickup get very very poor car get to workshop however they make it working back but not properly working any how some technical prob still there i all car that saled by mahindra when i get for service near dealer many owner of xylo complainting about its engine handling not smooth on road so i suggest to all dnt buy it only innova is good value of money iam going to trading my xylo for innova.

Fuel average is depend on u drive at 80 average come on highway 12kmInteriors are made of hard plastic after some year it sound in cabin very badly

Exterior The monster has a bulky look but with a few accessories, you can make it look attractive like a carrier on roof-top, window wisers, side cladding e.t.c.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Huge space inside and very comfortable for the entire family on long drives. Even driving a Xylo is a pleasure. If you look a xylo from outside taking a sharp turn, you tend to get scared that it will overturn. But passengers do not feel like this inside. It's very stable. The special area given to keep sun-glasses is a very innovative idea.

Airconditioning is superb and a 'personal' air-duct for each passenger is like sitting in an aircraft.

Interior plastic quality is not that good. Probably that's the way mahindra has cut corners to keep the price low.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is very good on slopes also. Fuel economy for this size of a vehicle is satisfactory. Rest depends on your driving style and road/traffic condition.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is very good specially when you drive a Xylo after a hatch-back mainly due to the road sight which you get at such a height.

Final Words I have driven a Xylo now for about 25,000 KMs in 2 years and overall experience has been very good so far. Have driven it to maximum of 300 KMs at a stretch without feeling tired at all. Except for the Looks the vehicle is an absolute value for money at this cost.

Areas of improvement The Bulky looks need to be given slight curves (mainly back side), to make it look more attractive.

Driving comfort, Space, PerformanceSlight body roll on pot-holes while turning, Bulky look

Exterior Excellent appearance Height , Road view , Short bonnet.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very excellent Space, Effective AC & Comfort.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Meagle engine, Good pickup.

Ride Quality & Handling Easy to Drive.

Final Words "A combination of Good Comforts and Latest Engineering Technology"

I purchased Mahindra Xylo E8 (Mist Silver) before 2 Days (11.09.2012) at MPL Automobiles Showroom at Chennai. I really appreciate Mr. Thiyagarajan, (sales executive) & Dharani Dharan.N (Team Manager), when I took a test drive of Xylo, and they arrange at my door step, the guys who explain each and every thing.  At the moment, I decided to book a Xylo.

I used to drive Maruti, Santro and TATA before. But Xylo is very comfortable to drive with Very Good Space, suspension, ABS, AC’S and smooth handling. I was really surprised with the superior quality vehicle produced by Mahindra.

The way of delivery is very Excellent, It’s really surprised me. I didn’t get this experience never before.  One again thank to Mr. Thiyagarajan and MPL Automobiles Team.

Thanks to for Mahindra & Mahindra Team to launch such a excellent vehicle.

Good Comforts and Latest Engineering TechnologyPlastic items are flimsy

 

Exterior Are Good.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space is good however the brake shoes are just terrbily bad you need top replace them 5000 kms i think i would need to sell me house to do soo even maruti is giving gurrantee that you do not need to  replace brake shoes before 10000 ksm for alto the brakes emit white powder after the car is driven for more than 200 kms nonstop.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Bad the Engine performance is just terrible the engine emits black smoke all the time i was told mahindra that the emission of black smoke would stop after driving the car for 5000 kms i have done so still the same issue mahindra people are the biggest bullies & the biggest liars i have come across, fuel economy is worse mahindra promises 14 kmpl however trsut me truth it will not give you more than 10 kmpl. Gerabox is terrible .. the gears do not work properly the back gear is too difficult to operate.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Bad.

 

Final Words Xylo Do not buy Ever.

 

Areas of improvement NA.

 

nothing except the pickupeverything except the pickup

The vehicle was awesome and happy and enjoy to drive it... Really it was like a ship and Iam driving in cognizant company earing up to 40k per month.... Not only company and also out station....

It’s too good for a 5 person + 3 child family.its good for tour purposes for a middle family . Mileage approximately 15 kmpl and comfort is good and air conditionis also too good for all rows because Air conditions vents is available in last two rows. Third row is bench row So gud for child but boot space is very low.

Exterior It is 100 times better looking that a Qualis, Tavera, Ertiga and to a certain extent Innova (Innova's looks are of a CAR and not a SUV). There are some points of concern but ignorable like the mud Flaps are loose, the fog lamps go in with a fingre push, the rear no plate makes noise.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Amazing space- even in the third row senior citizens of my family do not crib. Amazing comfort - Did a 14 Hr non stop to Nagpur from Pune and again travelled to Tadoba next morning without any fatigue.

Excellent road grip even at 120-140, smooth handling (finger touch driving), Powerful Twin AC with middle row controls. I am a music lover and tht that would have to replace the original fitment but to my surprise - Its wonderful.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 3rd gear is a little search for kinda both once you are on expressway or a open streach and on 5th gear - u fly - literally.

At slow speed it gives that typical DI engine type RRRRR but at crusing speeds virtually smooth. Started at a Fuel economy of 9-10 but after two services started giving me 12-14 KMPL.

Ride Quality & Handling Family loves being in it  and I love to drive it. Gives me more than I expected in terms of pickup and power. 0- 120 in virtually 7 sec.

Final Words As Russel peter says - "You will GROW in her eventually". And belive me - Nothing is perfect. Buth this one V F M Through and Through.

Areas of improvement Breaks, Seats, Shape of Dashboard, Rear entry, seat fold assist.

I like the new design (Exterior) of xylo which I think beats Chevorlet Tavera and even Innova .Driving Seat is a little rigid Breaks makes noise and shudder sometimes, otherwise excellent

Exterior The new 2014 refresh model is excellent. I just bought a Dolphin grey one. The new chrome grill, new bull bar and the entire decals looks awesome.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Awesome! I dont think anyone has any complaints here. The new dual done works perfect. Some of the finish on door could be better. One thing, I didnt like was the rear defogger connected on the back window with wires coming out. Comfortable 7-8 seater or rather only 7/8 seater.

The body roll is very minimal, on par almost with Ertiga VXI or Innova. Though in deep curves, you need to be careful in any tallbody MUV/SUV

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox MHawk is excellent. In straight line, dont think anyone could beat. The gear shift has been optimized but i have been using only past 2 days and find gear shift slightly tighter and not very notchy. Also, the vibration is not completely out on this gear shift though its way better and ratio goes well with new clutch setup.

Ride Quality & Handling Superb!. My twin kids loved it and they felt almost they were in minibus. My father was almost asleep in captain seats and enjoyed the superb blower/ac. Driver gets the best road view with huge glass greenhouse too. The new 60/40 3rd row is a great add. I also got a pulldown roof mount DVD and works like a gem. 

Final Words True VFM. I did spend 2-3 months doing all kinds of analysis and firmly believe this is a really great comfy mover.

I first waited for mobilio and was disappointed in 3rd row thigh support/comfort on long drive. Then booked ertiga but on a 2nd long test drive, found too congested at back though you had car feel. Innova was out of budget while Enjoy was too lousy performer.

Areas of improvement

1. Improve even the minimal body roll left out or provide a guage or instrument to show the amount of body roll to help driver control in deep turns.

2. Communicate the new features and market safety features better. Mahindra has better safety features like crumple zone, high seating, reinforced beams, ABS/EBD and stabilization control guages. The added comfort drive/suspension is a big value add which would need more detailing. If possilbe get even NCAP test for all Airbag variants.

3. Improve the gear box further. I still doesnt get a car like feel when I drive this. It may be +ve but still I feel we need this to get more car folks on this.

4. In city it is giving me 12.5 Kmpl, could be better. A 14-15kmpl would be ideal.

A true family car!No Car like feel, if thats what you want
