| ![]() Really Good one guys !! A one Happy Review and a complete delight for the community. I feel the new XUV is closer to XYLO from front in looks. Guys, what about Body Roll at high speeds, i have not driven a XUV yet, so felt curious about ? |

I was looking at it from a price-point perspective. Top end W10-AWD is slightly less than 20L OTR in Mumbai. For someone who has paid close to 20L for the car, such shortcuts might not leave a good taste in the mouth. Quote:
1. No ugly plastic cap. 2. No learning curve for new owners who would instinctively take their right hand at that spot to twist the key. 3. The extremely useful cubby hole that was partially sacrificed to accommodate the Engine Start/Stop switch. 4. The missing CD drive in W10 which lost its position because USB and Aux needed to be accommodated (which in turn were displaced because of the Engine Start-Stop switch position) Last edited by SDP : 17th June 2015 at 13:00. | ||

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Finally managed to check out the new age XUV with a fellow bhpian at the nearest showroom and trust me guys it looks even better in person, pics don't do justice to the new refreshed look. Loved the new interiors, the new color theme looks really premium imho. The sales rep started to explain the features of the W10 variant which was standing inside the showroom but since i wanted to see the W4 variant i asked him if they have one in stock and luckily they did ! A silver W4 greeted us near a pile of garbage but i didn't care coz my eyes were fixated on the machine. Took some pics and sharing them for the potential W4 buyers. ![]() The plain black applique looks better. ![]() The improved front, no chrome inserts on the grill, prefer it this way. ![]() ![]() W4 gets full black upper panel which imo looks better. ![]() Black door handles. You can also see the speaker location. ![]() Center console, just wish Mahindra gave a better/bigger display unit. ![]() Black dials. The blue illumination looks amazing ! ![]() Black steering wheel without the controls. ![]() All black again. ![]() The seats, nice design and decent quality fabric used. ![]() I detest chrome so the W4 is like a blessing. All i would like to do is get the B and C pillars wrapped in black and get the fog lights to complete the look. The sales rep said the fog lights will be available soon as an option (Cost 3-4k). Now time for the most important factor, the test drive. I am really bad with all the technical mumbo jumbo so as a layman i can tell you that it was surprisingly very easy to drive. The gears were smooth and easy to engage and even though am recovering from a foot injury i was able to use the clutch easily, it was very light. The power delivery was great and i was able to cruise along in 2nd gear in traffic. We then had a discussion regarding the price and this is the quote i got - Ex Showroom Delhi - 11,21,245 Registration - 1,45,206 Logistics - 7500 Insurance 0% Dep - 32,810 Total - 13,06,761 No discounts. Delivery in 10-15 days. He mentioned that the current waiting period for the W10 model is around 2 months ! Really impressed with the whole package and feel that its worth the dineros. Told him that we will take the final decision in Oct when my dad will be in the country and left after exchanging contact details. A day well spent.

Typically dealers do the reset at the time of delivery and give a car with zero on the odo to the happy owner. | |

| ![]() Had a conversation with the sales rep in Bangalore and he mentioned that if we install a luggage carrier it would obstruct anyone's from popping their head out of the sunroof. I agree that it isn't a safe practice but any other alternative for that apart from using the box type carrier which looks quite odd. |

| ![]() Thank you fusionbang for your valuable inputs ![]() The location on the black strips of the roof where the carrier is to hinged is flexible right? If this is the case, it can be hinged a little backward than that's shown in the pic or its that the rack has to be hinged at that particular point.

| ![]() Yes that should fit perfectly and sunroof will be just ahead of it. But I would personally suggest not to install roof carrier permanently as it will take away the looks of the car literally. But if its really a need for you, then you can go ahead with the one you have selected. If you go ahead post a pic with the carrier installed. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() The headsup display which is provided as an accessory is really good for the price, it does the following things. 1. Shows current speed of the vehicle 2. Speed can be set from where the headsup display will start showing the speed for example if ill set the speed to 20 kph it will start showing the speed once 20 kph is crossed. 3. Brightness level can be adjusted, its fairly visible during a sunny day as well. 4. It will make a warning beep everytime the vehicle crosses 100kph. 5. Speed warning alert. |

On the highway, I had a feeling that it pulled more easily from 80 till 120kmph in 5th and 6th gears. I even mentioned it to Tushar. So my guess is that there are minor changes to gear-ratios for the higher gears. But, I am not absolutely sure about this. I don't consider myself an expert. When I was driving normally (i.e. subconsciously) I did not really notice anything different. When I started paying specific attention, I felt the above mentioned thing. Quite possible that I found the change as I was looking for one. ![]() Last edited by SDP : 17th June 2015 at 19:05. | |
