Mahindra Xylo User Reviews

Very smooth and safe driving experience. Comfortable for long-distance travelling and give good mileage. It needs less maintenance and service is great. Look of the car seems elegant.

Mahindra Xylo is the most practical vehicle in its segment. Its MHawk engine is speechless, which gives a nice performance and a mileage of 14-15 km/l on highways easily. Sometimes it is pleasurable to drive also. The only thing that lags is the aerodynamics of this car are not so good but the main reason behind it is the amount of comfort this car provides on the last seat. No car gives the last seat comfort, but xylo gives, in any segment car. If you buy the top variant of Mahindra Xylo then you should keep it because it is fantastic for long drives for drivers also and for every passenger seating in the car, don't worry for last-seat passengers they can enjoy their sleep. It is feature loaded according to price. Just upgrade the speakers and enjoy the trip!!

It was so nice and I think it is better than that of Innova and this vehicle is rich in space and comforts and it is likely to off-road rides but it haves an absolute ground clearance and it is value for money.

Exterior Good road presence and yet nible turn radius makes it an effortless drive even in congested traffic.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Low key interiors,no stereo in the H4,no climate control

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Linear torque tried and tested mhawk from the scorpio, the gearbox is excellent so much so the new gen scorpio dec14 is borrowing the powertrain from the xylo now.

Fuel economy in todays crazy city traffic is arround 10 to 12 to the litre. on the highway with overdrive the economy improves to arround 14 to 15 avg. 14.

Ride Quality & Handling Has body roll being of such class of vehicle. get yourself a small car if this is a concern.

Final Words Drive 10k so far going is great. good vfm. not something you will be able to zoom in and do silly tricks its not meant for it. reason i say this is the concerns people raise on different forums

Areas of improvement m&m should provide accesories like mats mud flaps as part of the package

Short turn radius,seating,engine,suspensionsDull dashboard,quality of interior plastic

I have been driving Mahindra Xylo since a long time. My experience with it is quite good. Here is my opinion about this car : Pros : > The best thing i like about this car is its Space. The leg room at the middle row is nice. Even the last row offers descent leg room which even the best cars in this segment fails to offer. > The engine is also quite responsive not too much but its pretty good and also its 2179cc engine gives good power, not punchy enough but can carry many people without making any difference to driving experience. > For offroading too the engine keeps your drive alive and it can climb any hurdle on its way. Cons: > The first thing i did not like about this car is its interior which i feel is somewhat outdated and also same for the exterior. > The car vibrates somewhat and suspension also not good enough. > After some years of experiencing it, the car feels like its doors totally rugged up and its all interior parts keep on making noise even in small bumps and thats the condition of whole interior(even though i haven't done much offroading). > The service of Mahindra is not satisfactory for me. Many times i had issues of driver side lock automatically unlocking. I have complained many times but this problem still exists. Also their service centre is not much responsive. The issue of unlocking , i havent seen such an issue in any car. Dont know how can that be possible. So overall its a nice car but with some cons that i mentioned.

The best car for commercial use or office use. The best thing in this car is the third row very spacious when compared to competitors. I have been driving this car from 6 months almost 15000 kms but till now no big issues with engine and performance.

Exterior Not much is changed on exteriors but the new chrome lining at the front and back really look good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The Interiors on the H9 model looks very up market. Full leather inside the cabin feels like being in a big foreign brand. Voice in command is a very useful feature to have. The new Xylo has commutable engine noise isolation inside the cabin.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine is the STAR of this package. It is very refined and feels more powerful then before, overtaking in a single lane is a piece of cake. Fuel economy is in average 14 kmpl for such a heavy car that is extremely good. Gearbox could be a little better it still feel notchy.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality has improved alot as the new chasie is the same as the newely Launched Scorpio.  The car has become much more stiffer and stable the passengers don't move from side to side anymore as before.

Final Words I am very impressed with the all new Xylo as it has truly come a long way since it's first launch in 2009. M&M and now also the new Xylo now maintain international standards and that is visible in all there new cars. I sincerely hope the Xylo stays reliable for a long life span only then the treu verdict can be given on this car.

Areas of improvement Improved Gearbox, modern infotainment and 17 inch alloys option.

luxurious cab with full leathers, refined powerful engine, improved handlinginfotainment system unchanged, only 15 inch alloys, booth space

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 MUVSUV

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 blowerac. Driver gets the best road view with huge glass greenhouse too. The new 6040 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 supportcomfort 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. Finally, Take a test drive before you drop Xylo from your list.

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, ABSEBD 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.

Good performance, Comfort, space, VFM, for 2.2Ltr engine mileage is goodRefinements in handling, Even better NVH, Relative mileage with Mobilio/Ertiga is less

Exterior The Xylo looks good with its headlamp and bounut,facelift is fine enough with its exterior body looks, but the front body bumper looks good but not at all strong to safeguard the vehicle, Poor Quality fabric bumper looks good but very light and weak.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I like Xylo seats its broad and good height and even the third row seats are quite good Compared to Innova,but Toyota gives you quality whereas Mahindra doesnt 

Xylo having good looking interiors and fabric clusters& dashboard and door dashboard and ac vents for all the rows ,But this all looks good and shinning ,but doesnt have long life, thats because of Mahindra`s Poor quality materials.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox To be frank this vehicle gives a mileage of 11-12kmpl in city 13-14kmpl in Highway,and engine is good and refined smooth sounding diesel engine ,but after 2-3 years the vehicle engine shows kind of maintenece,and not at all rough and tough car it is and poor quality ,it just looks good but totally waste car.

Ride Quality & Handling Poor Quality material from its interior to exterior ,this vehicle is only usefull till the warrenty period of mahindra after that its on your luck.

But while driving on city the Xylo Handling is pretty Good But on Highways it better but while overtakings because of its heavy and lenghty body and quite small wheel drum and tyres the car feels like it gets turned round ,feels quite unsafe.

SCORPIO wheels and handling is better and feels safe

Final Words I Buyed this car and used for taxi plate this vehicle is to run for MNC/BPO and sometimes on the Highways, This car has given me so many repairs and maintenece cost whenever i asked the dealer or machanics  about the cars problems they simply used to smile and say its your luck,i doesnt like this car though it was the new car in the market and new looking MUV, i buyed it and used as taxi,but this vehicle is like hell not at all worthy ,I have solded this Car and Buyed the Brand new Tavera Chevrolet s Brand as the Travels Officals Suggested me that Tavera is far more Better than Xylo and it offers more durability and rough running and low maintenece car.

And I felt they were right and i am experienced with Tavera its quite better than Xylo though it doesnt look so good but its simple and descent car rough as well as tough car and good long lasting quality interior and even strong body bumpers,

Tavera is Far better than Xylo

Areas of improvement The First thing Mahindra should concentrate on its quality materials used in Xylo and vehicles Engine and maintenece cost ,alot of repairs.

It just looks so fine car but some where its engine and heavy looking massive body and Quality is the Disadvantage to this car.

things i like in this vehicle is its front facing broad and comfortable seats Better than innovaLow quality interior materials & suspensions repairs
