Test drove the XUV 3XO AX5 T-MPFI: 7 pros & 7 cons in my opinion

I was amazed by the interiors too – though slightly dated and plenty of hard plastics, it felt very well put together.

Took a test drive of the 3XO 1.2 Manual (TCMPFi I believe?) and am mighty impressed with this car! It was an AX5 variant that looked so well kitted with superbly comfortable seats and amazing driving experience

Test drove the XUV 3XO AX5 T-MPFI: 7 pros & 7 cons in my opinion

Likes:

  • Absolutely brilliant engine with plenty of power
  • Very spacious interiors and good rear seat comfort
  • Good view from drivers seat
  • Feels super solid and not a single rattle in a 10k run demo car
  • Dual zone AC worked perfectly well
  • Ride and handling was brilliant – drove through some curves and felt very confident, planted
  • Long list of features, 6 airbags across the line and well priced

Dislikes:

  • There was a micro second delay from when I press the horn and to when the horn actually works
  • Bolstering of front seats felt a bit too narrow for a decently wide bodied individual like me
  • Manual gear stick was vibrating a bit in Idle and throws were pretty long, though slick
  • Second gear ratio felt a bit too high. Needed to keep shifting between 3rd and 2nd quite frequently.
  • Relatively lesser boot space but better than before I believe?
  • AT vs manual is a whopping 2L away
  • Lacklustre dealership experience

Otherwise, this car is such VFM and feels super mature.I was amazed by the interiors too – though slightly dated and plenty of hard plastics, it felt very well put together.The basics of the car – engine + gearbox + ride comfort + handling – these are so well sorted! I am smitten by the improvement showcased by Mahindra.
