Rugged SUV With Premium Features

XUV500 is a solid vehicle and it looks majestic. Besides its looks, it scores in its performance too. Its road grip is phenomenal. It is a pleasure to drive the vehicle on a long trip. The fuel economy is amazing and it clocks 15 kmpl on highways and 9 kmpl on City drive. One feature of the XUV which is not advertised but I find it very useful is the auto start/stop feature. When you have to Stop it on a signal, just shift your gear to neutral and remove your legs from the pedal. The Engine automatically switches off, when you are ready to go, just press the clutch and it starts the vehicle automatically. This saves the fuel to a greater extent and reduces pollution on signals. Built-in navigation system, side airbags, hill hold and hill descent control and tyretronics are the features normally found only in premium SUV. I enjoy the entertainment system and touchscreen for its easy operation. Besides this Mahindra also provides a Bluesense app, using that you can operate many features of the vehicle. Besides all the features Mahindra has good service network and it is easy to get your vehicle serviced. Overall I rate this vehicle high for its performance and value for the money.
