Actually i dont like the styling of XUV. But i liked the simplicity of ARIA.
But the XUV features list not allow me to goahead with ARIA.
Buddy,this comment of yours gave me enough confidence to say "Go for Aria" then.I too love the Aria and no doubt the XUV feels nowhere near to Aria in terms of overall comfort,its really the most comfy cruiser in the segment right now.Also the planted high speed dynamics make it a fantastic mile muncher too.
And yes,I too like plain and simple styles and hence I am also in the list of aria lovers.
Yes. Mahindra vehicles has better resale value.
This is a head vs heart now,if you want the car for short term then its XUV but if you want the car for 5 years or more than you may happily go for Aria.I take everything practically but cars are always bought with slight emotions and hence even with very high running(both cars easily cover 6-8k kms per month when combined)I still opt for at least one petrol car.
If resale value is a sole concern then go for XUV,else Aria is the car for you.
I dont care about the tyretronics, auto wiper and auto headlight. But the cruise control and ACC is very much needed i think.
It looks like someone else also thinks just like me.I too like the car,not the features or say added cosmetics to make it look beautiful.Its like you say "I like good looking simple girls more than the ones who have got a cosmetic make-up".
New Update : Aria dealer gave me a new offer as 1.7L + Alloys + Body Cover + basic Kits + Body wash and cleaning for few months.
It looks like the dealer is a bit too much hell bent towards selling this car.
Can you get the VIN of the car?If yes,then you can inquire about the VIN in the thread:-

This will give you exact details about the manufacturing etc of the car.
Secondly I think,you can extract some more offers form the dealer if you go for a hard bargain,maybe this is a not-to-loose chance.
Five months back,I was also searching for a car and I found that the dealer here had a good black Aria and offered me the car for a price lower than even 15 lacs.
Rest you can find a brief comparo between both the cars as well as some complains etc etc are discussed here:
