The truth is that the XUV 500 does in fact make a bold statement just by looks alone. It has a large front bumper above which are placed large projector headlamps. Alongside the headlamps you will find recessed fog lamps which combined with the streaked air dam provide the front view of this vehicle with a dramatic effect – like looking into the face of a menacing cat. There is a balance between attention to detail and bold statements on this SUV and without a doubt it is quite impressive just looking at it. The door handles are paw inspired in keeping with the cheetah theme that the manufacturers were going after. In the rear you will find four pack tail lamps with tattoos that are unique to the Mahindra XUV 500. From front to back the vehicle is outfitted with bold curves which are what define this vehicle as a SUV.

The headlights, tail lights and fog lights features clear lens for bright and clear view. The huge wheel arcs of XUV500 gives it macho and rugged look which is further enhanced by huge 17 inch alloy wheels. At the rear it doesn't feature rear tail gate mounted spare wheel, the spare wheel has been positioned under the body of Mahindra XUV500. Designed entirely in-house at M&M’s world class research and development facility the Mahindra Research Valley at Chennai, the XUV500 is also the country’s first indigenous developed monocoque SUV with the first transverse engine offering from Mahindra. The XUV 500 features day-time running LEDs like we have seen in many cars and SUVs by Mercedes and Audi. The side view of XUV500 is the best and it gives a huge and clean look to the sports utility vehicle. XUV500’s large tailgate opens upwards and reveals large loading area with the rear row of seats folded flat.

safety features

The XUV 500’s safety features include Rollover Mitigation, Electronic Stability Program, ABS with EBD and Hill Descent and Hill Control. The Rollover Mitigation safety feature allows you to identify possible dangerous driving conditions which may result in the rolling over of the vehicle. The feature allows the ESP system to interfere and control the vehicle speed before the situation gets to its worst resulting in a reestablished stability. The XUV 500 also provides the drivers and passengers with optimum safety through its six air bag reinforcement. The side airbags, driver and passenger airbags and curtain airbags protect you from any harm. The XUV 500’s body includes side impact beams and considerably located crumple zones. These beams not only absorb crash energy but also the surrounding energy of the passenger compartment. In fact, the vehicle outstandingly passed the crash tests that are created according to European standards.
Aside from the safety and crash tests, the vehicle prototypes undergo a thorough dynamic testing in Australia, South Africa and across Europe. There were also critical weather tests being conducted in China and Sweden. These tests are just a few of the many part-integration tests that the vehicle has gone through conducted in many other countries of the world including the USA. After 2.5 million km of testing and validation, the vehicle was permitted for production.

xuv 500 review

mahindra xuv500 ride and handling

With a lot of features and excellent engine performance, you almost get all the benefits from the XUV 500 with regards to sporty utility vehicles. One of its greatest advantages is its more responsive steering which prevents the driver from feeling any hint of nervousness while driving the XUV. If you are going to test drive the vehicle on various road surfaces, you will never get scared and won’t be able to feel the difference in the steering. And even if you do three digit speeds on varied road surfaces and or do fast bends, not once would one feel nervous about it as the handling is impressively smooth.
The complete stability of the vehicle even if the brakes are applied suddenly in a straight line is excellent. You will feel that there are lesser see-saw effects when you are going around tight bends at high speed because it is setup more on the stiffer side thereby resulting in better performance. You will greatly appreciate the drive with the Mahindra XUV if you are one that loves fast driving and like a vehicle that is capable of reaching top speeds while not sacrificing maneuverability. However, you need to be watchful on the torque steering out going to the front wheels. You also need to observe closely the clutch; it might be of good quality and not heavy to use but it can leave you with an irritating calf muscle when you have to drive in “stop and go” city traffic.
