Bad Quality Vehicle

It is 7 seater vehicle ..Diesel engine and mileage is about 15-16km ..Low maintenance ...The best part of this car is pick up range is very high ... Overall it's good..

Seeing the successful journey of Xylo, Mahindra seemed to be experimenting it in micro family class. But the confused designers have made me think that is it a SUV, a hatchback or a cross-over? This car has a capacity of seven passengers but no one can sit on those rear jump seats. Interiors are disappointing and it seems like a chopped Xylo from outside. A 1.5 ltr 1453cc diesel engine gives mileage of just 17kmpl on highways which is not enough to satisfy a micro-family person. The ride is very uncomfortable on rough Indian roads. It seems like there are no suspensions in any wheel. This declines it being a family car. But for a family of four to five members, it has quite enough space and height. I am using this car for last four years and it hardly goes for any maintenance except for changing Mobil-oil or small repairs. So its a maintenance free ride. You can rely on it for long and safe journeys. Quanto is priced between 7 lac to 8.56 lac and it completely satisfies its value for money tag. It can be bought as a taxi or a long distance convince but I will suggest to buy a regular hatchback or SUV instead of Mahindra Quanto.

Myself Tushar Patel from Ahmedabad, Gujarat. I had purchased Mahindra Quanto model C-8vehicle in 23-OCT-2012, from "Punjab Automobiles (India) Private Limited". I have always given this car for service on regular basis. Before that, I had a Maruti Wagon R and used till 4 yrs and sold it. So, no chance about my driving skills. In Nov-2014, I had an issue with the car and gave to Punjab Automobiles and they said having issue in engine???? Wow, I think all car segments having an Indicator alert before when any issue arises in the engine but this car never and we had no choice at that time. I had also asked for the warranty, but it's already expired and I asked service manager to repair engine and solve all issues and then ask for warranty for 2 yrs for engine but at that time they said why do you want to extend, after repairing the engine, we will give 6 months warranty. After 6 months, you can extend it, no need for now. Now what happens, my car also have an issue like water leakage issue from the radiator. This issue we already faced when the engine had an issue. So I asked for warranty before 6 months completion so now they are not agreed to give extended warranty. So now I am afraid for this car again. To avoid confusion, I was thinking to show this car to the different service center for a better solution. So for diagnosis, I binged my car to "Sheetal Motors" at 25 July 2015 and they said in your car have a radiator issue, you have to change it. But I have already changed the radiator on 19-Jan-2014 but again the same issue. So I again went to Punjab Automobiles and those guys said, the car radiator is okay but heating coils have an issue, so you need to change that and charges will be around 12,000 INR. Wow! what rubbish things are going on???? What I have to do??? Who is correct, Sheetal Motors or Punjab Automobiles??? There are only 2 service centers in my city. So I am really confused about it. Seriously this car gave me too much headache, nobody answers to me even when I ask customer care but never get any single reply.  So please do not buy Mahindra's car. You can see other user's review as well and then decide.

I am driving Quanto C8 from last two years and feel that I have been cheated with a worthless product. The car is not at all smooth to drive. The company has not tested the car before launching. In last two years, I have experienced 5-6 major breakdowns. Every time a breakdown occurs, I convince myself that probably this is a one-off and nothing will happen in future. But the car has some genuine problems with the turbocharger, shaft, gear box. Body paint is pathetic, unlike Maruti cars which do catch scratch marks so easily. I will advise not to buy this car and regret later. I also read a number of reviews before purchasing this car, but none of the reviewers had driven it long enough for me to consider. The company should take back the sold units and compensate to improve reputation. I have driven/owned Maruti and Hyundai cars and none of them gave so much trouble.

Look and Style: Good looking and comes with pretty decent style. Comfort: Best legroom and is very spacious to be in. Pickup: I have driven Quanto around 20k; Ultimate pickup even on highways or on hilly roads. Never feels lack of power. Mileage: Nowdays I am getting 15-16kmpl (after running 10K;AC on/off) in city. Best Features: Height, powerful engine, style, spacious, low maintenance vehicle Overall Experience: It has been excellent and most improtantly the vehicle is 'made in India'.

This car seemed very exciting when it was launched and I purchased in that hype but unfortunately the dealers very poor after sales services have forced me to change my opinion not only for this car but for all Mahindra variants. What I have learnt in last 22 months is that even a good product can be failed by bad after sales services. I purchased Quanto from Aditya Motors, Cuttack and have to visit again and again for same problems. They are simply unable to solve small problems and we have to face the harassment of visiting all the time. I think the company has not got any type of control over the dealers as even after complaining many times the same problem occurs. Also recently when a part was damaged I requested the service manager for warranty claim he simply denied without satisfying me why this warranty cannot be entertained and was not willing to give a warranty refusal letter. The service people in Mahindra lack training on how to deal with the customers and details about the product and warranty coverage. 

Request mahindra to make quanto automatic gear shift with convertible and this will stand out from other compact SUVs. Definitely youth of india will reach this car soon and fast. Presently our people need such vehicle as second car or weekend cars. Hope mahindra will catch this fast and work on new designing for our cute Quanto (Junior Xylo / cousin of maruti gypsy). Coming to price, for present model price is too high compare to other foreign brands. Indians will first choose those brands that are made by indians. So reduce it and push this quanto with attractive pricing. Pls Pls .........make quanto convertible similar to mini cooper convertible. thank you. Expecting from earliest response for this new version of quanto.

Look and Style: Very good. Satisfied.  Comfort: Last two seats are quite uncomfortable for elders. But best for children. You can also use it as a big storage space. Leg space is very good for middle seats and seats are very specious. Front two seats are very comfortable.  Pickup : Superb. Mileage: Powerful, giving 18-20 kmpl on the highway and 14 - 16 Kmpl on the city roads.  Best Features: Sensors, airbags, mileage/ diesel digital indicators, nice interiors.  Needs to improve: They can add audio control on the steering.  Overall Experience: Superb SUV experience in budget price.
