Pros Cons of Mahindra XUV500

Pros

  • Looks better than before. Facelift ups the premium quotient
  • Seats are well bolstered
  • More power available on the diesel

Cons

  • There's a hint of body roll
  • Low on power at lower rpms
  • Understeers when you take a corner

Verdict

Mahindra is offering some new colours on the XUV500 - Crimson Red and Mystic copper, both of which we did not get to see; but the Crimson Red looked promising on the presentation board. Mahindra will hope the refresh brings its customer base back into M&M showrooms and more importantly, back to driving the once popular XUV500.

Pros Cons of Kia Seltos

Pros

  • Premium interior vibe
  • Packed with modern features 
  • Refined performance

Cons

  • Ride could have been more relaxing
  • Turbo-petrol's low mileage

Verdict

The new Kia Seltos is quite aspirational with its premium interior, tech features, and smooth performance. It stands out with its new design and improved ride comfort. As a result, it makes for a strong contender in the mid-size SUV segment, offering a blend of performance, comfort, and technology.
