Hi, I own a 2015 Xylo mHawk. I can assure you that its a great car for its price and segment. When I was looking for a family tourer it was all down to the Innova, then I took a test drive of the Xylo and read quick reviews of it on our forum, and I knew its the one I am looking for. It was better than innova in every department except brand value and resale. Maybe interiors are marginally better on innova too but nothing to talk about. It has served me well with no regrets for 2 years and 27k kilometers.
Now, for you I have following advice:
1. Look for a post 2014 make Xylo mHawk. Since the resale value is not good you can get one around 6-7L easily. Don't even think about the 'D' variants. The post 2014 make Xylo mHawk is based on a new platform, same as the new Scorpio. Ride is more planted and suspension setup is far better than the earlier version. It come with mHawk engine and shares a lot of parts with the new Scorpio thus you will not have to worry about the spares unlike the mEagle variant which was discontinued in 2013-14 and spares might be hard to find 3 years down the line. Mahindra Xylo still consistently is sold around 600 copies per month.
2. If I had to buy a car for the same requirements today I would go for the Tata Hexa, period.
3. The upcoming Xylo replacement muv and the TUV 300 Plus mighy get introductory prices of under 10L. Both of them would be true 7/8 seaters and would fulfill your requirement without breaking the bank.
