| Saw the XUV 500. I felt. it's slightly cramped (especially the last row) for a vehicle priced at 10.8 lacs and billed as a SUV. Design wise, it seems overdone. What do you say guys... why has the forum totally ignored the XUV500 launch. | |

| The front according is ok (as in ohk). Not a breakthrough design. Somehow i feel the Korean influence has crept in somewhere.
The rear when seen as a stand alone is dosconnected frmo the rest of the vehicle. I did see the vehicle in the dealership and I must say that Mahindra has come a long way in terms of refinement, feel, trim and fit/finish.
Did anyone notice that the front fenders are actually not sheet metal. They are plastic (ABS I guess). Will help in avoiding minor bumps and dents due to flexibility.
3rd row leg room is pathetic. Less than Innova. Xylo i feel is better. But even in the xylo, the back of the 2nd row seats does not have any padding. So, if you slide into the back of the 2nd row, your knees will hurt.
Overall the design is a little quirky. But given the mouth watering price, it will find takers. | |

| Xylo is wobbly. XUV is really good. Much better than Safari and Scorpio... PLUS it is feature packed. | |

It is being launched today in India. There is no ABS/Airbags in the petrol version at all. Which is very disappointing. Even on the base diesel version, you have to pay a lot extra to get "safety" features. | |

| Guys, Duster is good. Now in 750k there is no one who gives safety features. Going by that, Duster top end with all features in SUV segment is very good deal. Better than XUV 500 or any other for that matter | |

| 5 seater SUV may not work in India. Every other vehicle in this segment is a 7 seater.... TATA Safari, MAhindra XUV, and all higher SUVs... even though the last row or the benches! are not very comfortable.
i would buy a SUV for it extra seats. | |

Better than XUV 500 or any other for that matter It doesn't work for me. The pricing difference among the variants is too much. Why can't they give optional safety features atleast for the entry level diesel version? Ignoring petrol completely is also stupid. It looks like the petrol model was released ONLY to meet the around 7 lakh price point. They don't really intend to sell it. | |

| My say here is take the top end model with features you want and still it makes a good deal. Low end model, agreed does not have safety features. But then my Logan also does not have those. However if I were to go for SUV i would definitely look for some of those features which i deem to be necessary and in that case i would go for the top end Duster. | |

Not in the versions that I can afford :-) ABS and air bags should be an option on every version. I would've already booked if it was available.. | |

| Well said RDR and that is the problem here ! They can sell what they want to the lower market ! it should be stopped ! They are palying with peoples lives for the sake of a bit of money ! I still say Boycott this Car until they sort it out ! Someone should start a Facebook page Talking about the missing Airbags on the Duster ! this will soon get them moving | |
