Regarding exchanging the old car, I understand that what you get from the dealer is always less than what you can get if you sell it to an individual. In my case, it is a non main-stream car (Forester) and I wonder how much they really offer. I shall find out soon. | |

Also looks like AWD AT may be in short supply. You may not get the colour you like. In fact the latest price sheet did not have AWD AT (W11 AWD AT (O). It is possible that they are silently discontinuing. I also had a brief test drive and had the following observations: +ves
There seem to be too many things I don't like. Considering the niggles that may come up and the age of the car (which may be replaced with a new model in a year or 2), I am not in a hurry to go for it yet. Last edited by Guna : 5th December 2018 at 19:47. | |

| ![]() Thanks, I'm getting 29k discount, 9k corp discount and 25k exchange bonus in Hyderabad. Haven't probed into it yet, and I didn't bother about insurance from the dealer. I'm inclined towards XUV for a few reasons - Tatas do not come in black, and I won't buy another colour. Other vehicles lose out in the VFM aspect, and am prepared to live with the cons of this truck. If only Harrier launched with 7-seater Diesel auto, with Sunroof, and black as a colour option... |

![]() Hexa rear row when folded slopes around 30 degrees. No comparison. | |

Yes, seats are bit hard. But they are comfortable over long drives. Did not get fatigued at all. Found driving comfort better than earlier Honda City. I have some issues with steering position as I need to take seat all the way back due to height. However my wife is shorter and she has no problem as she is able to take the seat forward. I would have preferred more pull in the steering. But it was not uncomfortable at all. I try to keep seat a bit forward rather than all the way back, and take it as high as head permits. Yes, the gear change in the AT at 20-40 kmph is not good at all and car does not have the punch. It takes a bit getting used to. On the highways it is a pleasure to drive though. Ride quality on bad roads at low speeds is very bumpy. Mostly the problem is with broken roads due to the independent suspension I think. On bumps the car has no problems. But we are happy with the car. It is very comfortable and very easy to drive. And offers flexibility to travel together when we are more than 5 persons. It is a good VFM proposition compared to say Creta and I found it easier to drive and handle compared to Hexa, which is also much longer. Quote:

| ![]() Hexa seats do not fold flat, but it is not to the 30 degree range. It is about 5 degree. You can test drive and see yourself. I own hexa and have not experienced problem of luggage sliding, even on longer runs. |

https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/offic...ml#post4098231 (Tata Hexa : Official Review) Earlier in the thread, as part of official review, there is a similar pic as well. That angle does not look like 5 degrees to me. But, anyways...we are digressing and going off-topic on this XUV thread. My only point was, (having seen both) in the XUV, the last row when folded is not as inclined as a Hexa and is almost flat. Last edited by SDP : 6th December 2018 at 16:48. | |

| ![]() Yes, the seats do not fold completely flat in the plush, but it's not at all a deal breaker - a slight incline owing to the seat's contour. By the way, I'm getting about 54k discount excluding insurance now. |

| ![]() Yes, it is for W11 (O) AT AWD in Hyderabad. The on-road price (excluding insurance) is 22,23,635, minus 53,600 discount = 21,70,035. I can check on Saturday, but this discount is most probably on all variants. |

| ![]() No. The headrests don't foul with the second row. The incline is very slight, certainly not the 30 degrees slope as claimed by someone here. I never faced an issue with luggage sliding over the folded last row. Also let's keep in mind the Hexa actually has luggage space with all 3 rows up unlike the Xuv. |

| ![]() There are surprisingly very little ownership threads for XUV5OO, more so for the 2015 or 2018 refreshes - the niggles thread is a go-to though. Plush XUV owners, I noticed that the air-con settings kept popping up on the touchscreen for no reason in the Plush TD car - something I've seen in the 2015 refresh too. And the sunscreen opens with a loud thud - same as 2015. Are there fixes for these? |
