Looks may be deceived and it’s true for the Mahindra Xylo. When I first saw this machine from outside it looks just OK kind of thing. But from inside it has lot of thing that you will love to have in this segment vehicle. From inside it’s very spacious, seats a very comfortable and little high. Interior quality is good, but Mahindra can use better plastic quality (don’t think it’s bad, it’s considerable). Music system is very decent looking; good sound quality and they gave USB port as well. The main purpose of this vehicle is to carry people not luggage. It has less luggage carrying capacity. If you want to carry more luggages like more than 2, 3 medium bags then you might need to use third row seats or better install a luggage carrier at roof.
Mahindra didn’t compromise in features and Xylo came up some nice features like Split AC, remote locking, rear wipers and ABS. Xylo mileage is close to 15 kpl at highway which is pretty decent. Xylo gives you a very smooth and comfortable ride even in bumpy roads. You can enjoy the long driving without being too tired, it’s really very comfortable.
This MUV can accommodate 7-8 peoples comfortably. I drove Xylo at 150 kph and It was very steady and smooth but you can also feel little engine sound from it.
Xylo’s 2.5 litre, 4 cylinder mEagle diesel engine delivers the maximum output 112bhp at 3800 rpm which is very good and promises a decent performance. It also comes with digital drive assist system which gives you the information about the mileage, current speed, indoor and outdoor temperature.
Xylo comes with 5 variant E2, E4, E6, E8 and E8 ABS with price tag (ex-showroom) of 6.34, 6.80, 7.48, 7.83 and 8.00 Lakh respectively. Definitely these prices give a competitive edge over its rival Toyota Innova. India’s own home grown Xylo will give you full value of your money.
