Pros:
- The XUV500 is a true all-rounder in terms of performance. It’s not just a superb interstate mile eater, but it’s also ideal for normal city commutes, with manual and automatic transmissions available.
- Dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, all-wheel disc brakes, operated wing mirrors, basic audio system with 6-inch display, tilt steering, manual AC, and all four power windows are included in even the cheapest model of the XUV500.
- Except for the base model, the XUV500 is the only SUV in its class that comes standard with an automatic transmission.
- Because of its enormous proportions and powerful style, the XUV500 commands a lot of attention on the road.
Cons:
- Only with an automatic transmission is a petrol variant available.
- The quality of several of the switches and AC vents isn’t up to par, especially considering the higher-spec models’ pricing.
- The XUV500 has seven seats. However, being in the third row is not a pleasant experience. Because there isn’t enough headroom, shoulder space, or kneeroom for an adult to sit comfortably, it’s best suited for youngsters.
- The 4WD version is only available on the top-spec W11(O) model, putting it beyond of reach for many consumers.
- With all seats up, there is extremely little room for luggage, hardly enough for a laptop bag. The Hexa, its main competitor, has adequate capacity for a few additional bags.
Reviews:
The review of the car is pretty good. People have praised the car’s look, comfort level, powerful engine, deadlights, and other striking features. But some have complained about the boot capacity, which according to them, can be increased. So, concluding the reviews is that this is a good car and the safest on Indian roads. Good to take out your family for long drives.
- The greatest automobile in India is the XUV500, which I consider to be the ideal SUV for family use. Pick-up is decent and comfortable for a long trip. This is a fantastic vehicle for all XUV enthusiasts.
- I’ve had the car for 5 years and have enjoyed the solid build quality and pleasant interstate driving. The back suspension and baggage compartment both need to be improved.
