Think local, go global. The XUV500 (pronounced ‘five double-oh') which is Mahindra & Mahindra's (M&M) most ambitious SUV since the hugely successful Scorpio, embodies this thinking. This model is a quantum leap forward by the home-grown auto major
Mahindra's XUV500 is a hugely ambitious product for the Indian carmaker. The SUV has been designed and developed completely in-house and is M&M's first serious attempt at developing a global product that would be as much at home in Melbourne as in Mumbai.The EZ Breathe home Wholesale Bulati Polished For Wall From China Manufacturers is maintenance free
The XUV platform, which will spawn a range of products in the future, is also a leap into unfamiliar territory for M&M. For the first time in its 60-plus-year history, the automaker has moved out of its comfort zone of body-on-frame vehicles (like the Scorpio, Xylo and Bolero) to develop a far more sophisticated monocoque construction, front-wheel drive and transverse engine for its new SUV.
With the base front-wheel-drive model priced at Rs. 10.8 lakh and the sole AWD model costing Rs. 12.6 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), M&M has clearly scored big on the price front to get off to a brilliant start.
There's no doubt the XUV500 turns heads. It's got a muscular stance, strong road presence and looks every bit a proper SUV. A shade longer and slightly taller than the Honda CR-V, the XUV distributes its mass rather well, and the overall proportions are pretty good.
Daytime-running LEDs are part of the standard kit and look terrific. We especially like the rising window line and the blacked-out B-, C- and D-pillars which give the XUV500 a very modern look.We are professional Steel pipe,Wholesale Soluble Salt For Countertops From China Manufacturers manufacturers However, we feel Mahindra designers went overboard with the detailing.Media in category "Wholesale Roller Marble Tiles For Wall of cityscapes".
While the styling may be too enthusiastic for mature global markets where a ‘less is more' design approach often works better, in India, where owners want to flaunt their SUVs, the XUV500 seems to do the job.
The XUV comes equipped with MacPherson struts up-front and a luxury car-like multi-link rear suspension. Interestingly, the seven-seater does without a load-bearing dead axle at the rear, which would have been a simpler and maintenance-friendly system.the Wholesale Glaze Tiles For Countertops virus is not completely
A soft-roader in essence, the XUV does not come with hardcore 4x4 kit like a low-range transfer case. However, you do get hill-descent control and hill hold on top-end variants and a differential lock on the AWD model for limited off-road use. What is truly impressive is the manner in which M&M has packaged all the mechanicals to achieve a flat floor, to make good use of passenger room. In terms of safety, the XUV is generously equipped, with dual airbags standard across the range with the top models additionally featuring ESP, rollover mitigation (essential in the U.S. market) and curtain airbags.
The cabin makes serious efforts to pamper you. To say the XUV500 is well-equipped is an understatement, but the interior is anything but understated. The instrument cluster, with chrome-ringed dials and circular centres, looks great. These circular pods carry information such as engine temperature, trip/odometer and gear selection, and the way the speedo and tacho needles do a full sports car-like sweep when you switch on the ignition is a neat touch. But the instruments are not that easy to read.
Other nice bits include smart, high-quality air-con vents that work well to direct air flow, the chunky steering that's quite nice to hold, and the air-con and audio system dials on the centre console feel high quality. However, that can't be said about the other buttons on the centre console, which feel like Scrabble tiles, and the wood finish looks tacky too.
The front seats come with generous bolstering and adjustable lumbar support and are incredibly supportive, almost overly so. The cushioning is on the firm side and making the seats a touch softer would have done wonders for comfort. Middle-row passengers will simply love the space on offer. There is enough legroom for six-footers to stretch out, even with the front seat pushed back.Asia me handmade Wholesale Water Jet Cutting Pattern For Wall From China Manufacturers reproductions of famous artists The seats themselves are very generously cushioned and the flat floor makes this SUV one of the best for travelling three abreast.
Third-row passengers don't have it as good though. Leg- and knee room are severely limited right at the back and headroom is quite tight too. But what makes it particularly uncomfortable is the near-vertical backrest, which makes you sit bolt upright like an army cadet. Also inconvenient is the fact that you can only access the third row from the left side.
