Most Helpful Review

Bold but not a premium car and certainly not worth waiting period of 1 year

Went to showroom to check the car.Horrible experience with the dealership.No one was interested in showing and explaining things in a proper manner,expected from mahindra sales guys.Front and side looks were great,didn't like the rear look though too many unnecessary curves and cuts.Big size car but the wheel base is small,smaller than Hyundai Alcazar which is nearly 200mm shorter.There ought to much body roll. Engine options and power delivery seems great.Not sure about some ADAS features on Indian road, conditions like lane keep assist and automatic emergency braking can keep these features switched off. Mahindra has packed all the available features of a luxury car but once you are inside you can feel the low quality plastic and cheap and nasty finishings except the seats.Touch Screen was not very much responsive.You can't slide the 2nd row seats back. Piano black glossy inside door handles are prone to get scratches.No auto dimming IRVM,Really Mahindra are you joking.Auto pop-up door handles are very fragile and probably won't last longer. Lastly waiting period of 1 year, not worth. Though booked but will cancel soon.

Much Much better than Fortuner

My buying experience was really great since I knew the dealers in the showroom. I even got a nice discount too. The engine feels great and peppy and does not feel underpowered at all. The looks are such that they will never get old and will age like fine wine. The facelift has been executed really well. The only downside to this car is its cramped 3rd row but this hasn't been an issue for me since we don t carry more than 4 people ever(This is also a problem with its main rival Fortuner) . Even with all the seats up, we get a nice boot space. Overall, I would 100% recommend this car to others over the Fortuner since here we get more features for the price and also the solid Skoda build quality. The fuel economy is also decent, the indicator was showing 14 km/l at the time of writing the review. I owned a Rapid before so after sales service is also great with Skoda. Overall, this is the value for money SUV which is a union of Fortuner's capability and Luxurious high end cars feel.
