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 Toyota Fortuner

Pros

  • Strong low-end diesel torque
  • Commanding SUV road presence
  • Improved ride quality
  • Affordable ladder-frame toughness
  • Loyal, proven brand legacy

Cons

  • Expensive compared to rivals
  • Bulky for city parking
  • Petrol engine feels weak
  • Ride comfort slightly firm
  • Lacks modern ADAS suite

Verdict

The Toyota Fortuner is not trying to please everyone and that is exactly why it remains king. This is a machine built on legacy, torque and unquestioned authority. You feel it the moment you sit high behind the wheel. It does not beg for attention; it commands it. If you want soft ride comfort and flashy tech, look elsewhere. But if you want presence, durability and unstoppable road confidence, this is it. As Shams Raza Naqvi would put it, this is the SUV you buy when you want to own the road, not share it. No apologies. No compromises.

Best For

  • Dominating the highways roads.
  • Extreme off-road adventure lovers.
  • Long-distance touring without compromise.
  • Buyers with a strong resale value.

Not Ideal For

  • Tight urban daily commuters
  • Tech-first luxury feature hunters
  • Soft suspension comfort lovers
  • Budget-conscious SUV shoppers
