Skoda Octavia vs Mahindra XUV500 Comparison

The new-generation Skoda Octavia is better in so many ways than its predecessor. There's a concentrated effort on making comfort a priority and everything feels from a segment above. In fact, it's so much better that we believe it will eat into the share of Superb buyers. The new Octavia is such a good car on its own that it leaves you with a beaming smile behind the wheel. In the land dominated by crossovers, the new Skoda Octavia is a solid reminder of the traditional sedan's beauty.

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.
