Hi Guys!
This is my first independent post. I received my Silver XUV500 W6AT yesterday. The delivery experience was one of the best (Maruti Suzuki - Please learn from Mahindra).
Accessories added:
1. Fog Lamps
2. Reverse Camera
3. Side step
4. Rear Guard
All these accesories are a must for a vehicle this BIG!!
So Here are a few initial observations
1. Fit and finish is really good! I didnt feel anything plasticky or clunky like the official reviews on website claim. Panel gaps yes but then on an average I dont think anybody would sit stare at the car for finding them!
2. The cabin is wide tall and spacious! And the ICY Blue lighting adds a soothing yet pleasant ambience inside. AC chills the car in no time!
3. Seat cushioning is excellent. Driving position is commanding., Steering is light for a SUV this size.
4. Brakes felt a bit spongy probably coming from a manual car I guess I need a little getting used to.
5. Ride quality is excellent, My car came with Apollo tyres, A bit of road noise filters in the cabin., And the car is Sluggish in the 1st n 2nd gear but once the revs build up it just zooms its way. But I feel the sluggishness is probably due to my careful run in period driving.
6. Infotainment is gooood!! Touchscreen is very responsive and so are the commands.
Volume is decent and I dont feel there is need to upgrade the speakers.
7. And the last doubt, there was a rumor on few other forums that W6 AT does not come with Hill hold & descent, well my car is a Jan 17 Manufactured vehicle and it comes with hill hold & descent, when enquired they sales exec told no official intimation has come from Mahindra!!
8. Overall I guess everything is covered for my needs in the W6 Variant.!
Well thats it for now!! I will keep updating with my experiences in the coming days!!
Cheers!!
