Mahindra XUV500
Skoda Rapid
- Petrol derivative available only with an automatic transmission
- Quality of some of the switches and the AC vents aren’t up to the mark, especially when you consider the price of the higher-spec variants
- The XUV500 is a can seat seven. However, the third row is not a comfortable place to be in. It is best suited for kids as there is not enough headroom, shoulder room or kneeroom for an adult to sit comfortably
- The 4WD variant is exclusive to the top-spec W11(O) variant, which puts it out of reach for many buyers
- With all seats up, the amount of space left for luggage is very less, barely enough for a laptop bag. Its rival, the Hexa, has enough room for some more bags
- No diesel option.
- Short feature list.
- Automatic is a bit too eager for city speeds
