  • Spacious seven-seat layout
  • Bold road presence
  • Comfortable highway cruiser

Cons

  • Interior design feels dated
  • Transmission is clunky and not silky smooth

Verdict

The Mahindra XUV500 stands out by offering a spacious seven-seater layout, strong diesel performance and comfortable highway dynamics at a competitive price. Its bold styling, that punchy diesel engine up front, and the generous cabin space fundamentally redefined buyer expectations for the segment. Even today, the SUV continues to offer a strong combination of performance, practicality and road presence.

A close look at the Mahindra XUV500 makes it clear. Fresh competitors bring flashier gadgets these days, but the XUV500 holds its own right where it counts for most folks hunting for an SUV.

Best For

  • Large family travel
  • Long highway drives
  • Buyers wanting strong diesel torque

Not Ideal For

  • Buyers seeking the latest technology
  • Mostly city commute
  • Buyers prioritising smooth gearshifts

Pros Cons of Isuzu MU-X

Pros

  • Ride Quality
  • Spacious
  • Powerful Engines

Cons

  • Unattractive
  • Lacks Modern Features
  • Lacks Variants

Verdict

The MU-X is a likeable bloke and while it does have its drawbacks, it is definitely a massive step-up from the MU-7. Of course, the MU-X falls short on features, power, equipment when compared to its immediate rivals such as the Ford Endeavour and Toyota Fortuner, but with the 2WD prices at ₹ 23.99 lakh and the 4WD prices at ₹ 25.99 lakh, it is almost ₹ 5-6 lakh cheaper than the top-of-the-line models of its competition. So, keeping that in mind, it makes for a good proposition.
