    DRIVING:
    Few hundred kilometers

    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,
