Mahindra Xylo [2012-2014] User Reviews

Exterior ;exterior look is very good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) interior plastic low quality,space is lot.

Engine Performance Good, Fuel Economy:no mileage and Gearbox: ok.

Ride Quality & Handling Be careful in this we we go in highways, it will  reach 130kph, we  cant indetify that we r going 120,130kph, when we see the meter only we will know that. That means no suspensions,one more thing as I said that speed when we reach only ABS break wil be  work otherwise it will skit/ turn the car.

Final Words Value for money, budget vechle, family car, But overall is ok I had bad experience in dealer especially where I took the car, that means when I went the showroom they try to push me on mahindra finance, I told them I will arrange myself by bank, after that no body care, and then two times I went showroom I dont get test drive, then I thought I want go someother showroom, i proceed also they treat nicely but that showroom is to long for me, so i dont have choice, then i went same showroom  third time for booking even they are not gving test  drive , they told me demo car went outside,but anyway i booked, then told me delivery date is seven to fourteen days dut i got after three weeks, very very very bad experience.

Areas of improvement Outside door gap is to long compare to innova, ertiga, ineterior  Plastics of quality is very poor, and we cant put double panel (touch screen tft) stereo set, only we can put single panel  stereo set.

Leg Comfort , Spacious and RateNo dual a/c

 

Exterior Great,even Aria and Safari canot beat Body Kit Brown Xylo E8 ABS Airbags BS-IV. 

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Absurd interiors,even in Body Kit the interiors are the dull brown colour. But the long list of features,like ABS,AirBags,Bluetooth,USB-AUX port and Mobile Charger,will cause little cause to complain. Even space is good,the boot is big and all rows are more spacious than Scorpio,Aria,Innova and Safari. THe front row is comfy,middle also confy with Flight-like Foldable Trays for food or Drinks and the Third row is superb too.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The M-Eagle engine is good,120 PS is great. the fuel economy is decent,16 KPL.Gear is hard but Slick and Leather Wrapped Gear Knob not too rubbery.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Rde is great but handling is not GOOD.

 

Final Words Go for it. Big cars cannot beat the Xylo Body Kit with Leather Seats,Steering and Gear Knob and Good Looks and Best-IN Class Power and Resale Value. But Interiors absurd.

 

Areas of improvement Interior quality and style inside.

 

Looks..Price..Features..Performance..Space and ComfortNothing.....Maybe Absurd Interiors

Exterior Good looking and elegant

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The middle seat passengers feels a lot of discomfort due to jerks. it is spacious and comfortable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent for its class.

Ride Quality & Handling See remarks above. Handling is excellent.

Final Words This is very good vehicle for long distance travel for a medium family.It is priced reasonably compared to the vehicles of its own class. It has good road grip and good control even at high speeds.

Areas of improvement The fuel indicator has a very poor response. it takes almost 24 hrs after filling the correct fuel reading. The service person keep telling me it is because of float valve. I have driven erlier vehicles with float valve. This is a bit too tardy.

The ride in the central passenger seats are not comfortable as the passengers feel too much jerks.

The reverse switch indications are many times faulty leading to confusion while reversing.

Its road performanceFuel gauge and reverse switch

Exterior Its not that bad infact watch it carefully the front gives a look of tall but angry bull. The Rear is very good without getting any gaurds or spoilers within the comptetion. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space is max in this vehicle more than any vehicle and any brand of this segment and including overseas brand and indian brands. Comfort is real thing which make xylo the excellent in this area and exciting too for looong journeys. Features are ample again more than any other competitor and above all the three things we are talking about Feature, Space, and Comfort are very very logical also no wastage of space not space occupying interiors and features are logical in every sense.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine when rotates above 2k rpm its the bull which i was talking about. Its powerful like scorpio but the turbo lag is the only difference which most of people get confused with.

Fuel economy never dropped below 11 kmpl even at high AC turned on or while heights of khardungla, leh, pangong, rohtang,manali, srinagar, drass, kargil, zozilla, badrinath, auli, kedarnath, nanital, mussorie, gopeswar. Across Jammu Kashmir, Himachal, Uttranchal Pradesh.

Gear box is notchy but when cold at mornings in summers also but but gets gud after 15 mins. 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride is great but the only thing which made me suffer at times is the clutch. the clutch pedal gets too hard and noisy i have complained for the same to mahindra from the first service but literally they don't have solution for this they have changed my master cylinder for the same but still the problem continues and i got one solution which is temprary for max 10 days the TVS Brake Cleaning Spray which i apply near the Cltuch pedal mechanisim and the boot of cltuch mechanism underneath.

The bushes of suspension starts creeking after a long journey of 1.5 k kms which after washing and oil gets correct not a major issue as the sound can only be heard with the window opened of driver and only on the bumpy roads. Quality of plastic and fabric can be improved by a good margin. Handing this vehicle is best on highway, great on tracks like manali to leh and very good in city. The feeling of control and command is there.

Final Words Great vehicle but areas like clutch and creeking sounds in suspension bushes should be eliminated.

Areas of improvement Clutch, is the only area where I am getting pain in this big tall angry bull.

Excellent Comfort, Best AC, Great MileageNoisy and Hard Clutch
