      Great SUV, good value for money given the choices available

      10 years ago | Purushotham Menon

      Whats Good

      The closest one can come to owning a M class merc without paying a bomb! A great effort by Ssangyong and a good choice by Mahindra, even though it would eat into the XUV market. A great package at 19.7 Lakhs odd (ex-showroom). has all the bell and whistles one expects in the high end cars seen in India today. While the M-class lineage is visible, Ssangyong has made enough subtle changes to give the car an identity of its own. The headlamps, tail lights and parking lights are signature styling and you can never mistake this car for any other similar models in the market. The ride and feel of the car is very good. The suspensions are sprung soft and this gives a comfortable ride on our pathetic roads. For all that bulk and tonnage the car zips when it reaches the required rpm. Some people may find the engine noisy on the lower rpms but remember thats a 2700cc power plant cranking out 184 bhp of power!! This is as true an SUV you can get at this price! If the engine noise bothers you pump up the volume of the CD/DVD player!! As expected with a power plant of this capacity the car returns only in the range of 7 to 10kmph per liter of diesel (depending on driving styles and road conditions). On the RX7 you get automatic tiptronic transmission which is by mercedes. Early tech & not the latest but still mercedes. There are 2 driving modes, standard and winter. Plus you can go to manual on the fly and control the gears on the steering wheel or by using a teeny weeny mouse like button on the gear knob. The drivers seat is fully adjustable (electrically) while the other seats are manual. 3 position memory and auto seat reverse for easy exit from the car when you switch off is a neat feature. Auto air-con, auto rain sensing wipers, auto headlights, cruise control, ABS, Hill descent control, heated ORVMs, polarising IRVM, leather upholstery and many more features. Fit and finish, paint job and interior decor and materials are on par with the best available today. The car comes with SAT/NAV built into the Kenwood CD/DVD/Ipod ready unit (Maps by mapmyindia) and features 4 speakers and 2 tweeters. There is an option of adding 2 more speakers on the rear hatch. The car comes with nice Hankook tubeless radials with nice looking mag wheels. All wheels have disc brakes only that the front ave ventilated discs while the rear are standard. On the whole a very nice car to drive and its been almost 10000km for me and no major issues so far. Now the only concern for me is if Mahindra service takes good care of this car as they have promised.

      What Can Improve

      I am not an authority on the other SUVs available but I have driven them all before I decided on the Rexton. All things considered, right from the cost to number of features offered this car scores over all the others. Even so, I think the dashboard could have had some more info systems, like fuel consumption, service interval, etc. It would have given the car that much more modern appeal. The cars are being delivered with small irritating problems, I had a wheel alignment issue right from delivery which got worse after being attended by the dealer. Such problems create a lot of negative publicity. It causes the customer to lose confidence in the dealer & the capability of service being offered. After all an investment of 23 plus lakhs being handed over to people who cannot even align a wheel properly sounds scary! A reverse camera should be factory fitted. Making the customer pay 7000 for a ordinary 1500 camera is ridiculous! The kenwood unit already has the screen and wiring done. Only a camera has to be fitted. This is a cheap stunt. If the dealer has to make money why not display more recent models of the head unit and give the customer a chance for a buy back deal? The latest Kenwood systems are very attractive while the one supplied in the car is a 2011 model I think. The digital clock on the dashboard should be changed. It looks ancient as compared to the rest of the dash. At least change the colour to blue so it looks like its a part of the dash. While it is too early for me to comment about spares, costs of spares and such costs, the main concern according to me is service from the company. If they can deliver what they promise and manage to keep the costs controlled they are on a winning wicket with this car.

      I would definitely recommend this car. I have waited for it and was pleasantly surprised by the model released. I never thought they would release their latest model let alone add all the features it has come with since Mahindra would want to price it competitively in our market. But they have managed to pull it off which is great. I dont know who was responsible for the design of this car but I am certain it was not the team who designed the XUV. The XUV is design overkill and my personal opinion is that it looks quite ghastly. In comparison this car looks classy and stylish while still showing enough muscle. If Mahindra is trying to make the ownership of this car a elite experience then they should make sure that their service levels and quality does not slip up in any way because at the end of the day thats the only thing which will dissuade anybody from going in for this car today. And since I am already a customer I wish them all the luck there is. In conclusion I apologise if I have missed a feature or two but I plan to put down my Rexton experience as the years go by so it will get mentioned sometime or the other. Till then thank you.

        Whats Good

        Got my RX7 around 4 months back. Its a real head turner on the road. Great looks and no unnecessary and ugly nostrils on the bonnet. The ride quality is great. Pick up is great, except for first 0.5 second. Interior is very well done. There exists a sense of luxury. Enjoy the Automatic Driver seat and the memory sets. Polarized IRVM is big help in the night. Music System is good and AC is quite powerful.

        What Can Improve

        1. Engine Roar - Not sure anything can be done. More than the noise, the feeling that a lot of Fuel getting burnt is the issue. 2. Glove box - why such a small glove box? There should have been a Freezer box. Even XUV has that. 3. Dashboard needs to be improved. Average mileage, Tripmeter and odometer should be shown together. The clock should be a better looking one. 4. Hand brake should move towards the driver :) 5. Power point in the second row 7. The second row should be able to slide forward so that one can make more space for the third row.

        A great vehicle and real value for money. Even after paying another 5lakhs I was not getting same features. Love when people point fingers and turn heads on the road looking at this wonderful beast. Mahindra needs to have separate team to provide customer service. It severly lacks there.

        Whats Good

        Rexton has great style looks performance and features yet it has been reasonably priced by mahindra.

        What Can Improve

        Turbo lag initially needs to be sorted out.

        Go for it if you want a complete package in an SUV. It's even priced very reasonably.

        Whats Good

        Ride quality, power in engine, and all the latest gadgets.

        What Can Improve

        Breaks, Rear camera, 7-8 speed gear box to give a real push at start.

        This car was bought by me in feb end and has done about 17500 km. I got it for my long distance travel from Gurgaon to Nanital In company of about three four passengers. Its automatic gives us a easy drive specially in high traffic areas in Delhi, Ghaziabad, Rampur etc. The ride quality is superb as we have about 25 km stretch that is just potholes. The special features like hill descent control are great help. The engine shows its strength when we need to climb heights on muddy roads and AWD and ABS really come into play (kachha forest area near Bhowali Nanital). So I find if need a safe vehicle to travel distance, moving in traffic area as well as unpaved roads we have the right vehicle at a very reasonable price. Only breaks are a bit let down as compared to Pajaro which I was using earlier but overall it has proved to much better than I had hoped for.

        Whats Good

        Appearance, Interior, smooth transmission, linear acceleration, power & pick up, cabin silence, smooth steering, ride quality.

        What Can Improve

        better, if provided more 3rd row leg space, middle row sliding seat & rear seat headrest

        In some reviews I have read about the alleged engine roar, lack of steering feedback, body roll etc. But in reality none of these are true regarding this vehicle. The cabin is very silent, with acceleration, the noise of radiator fan become prominent, but not too high. The steering is very light, smooth and responsive. There is no body roll at all, if you drive in the normal speed.

        Interior is goods.

        What Can Improve

        Rexton India needed to recall all RX6 car and replace faulty gear box.

        This is inform you that I run this car since last years. and every 20000 km there is needed to change clutch set. I have changed clutch set 4 times in last 3 year. Cost for change clutch set is approx 78500/-{18000(Clutch Plate and Pressure Plate and Release Bearing + 55000 (Fly Wheel) + 5500 Labor feel cheated myself after purchasing this SUV.

        Firstly, both the MT and AT Models are 'overtly' costly. Hope the driving experience, commensurates with with the price, in Overall Performance, Comforts and Luxury, that it is supposed to offer, with reasonably good Fuel Efficiency and a Robust Engine performance for buyer's high expectations!!

        i hv buy rexton7 on 30th jan13,i was very happy ,but i had steering problem just in 3 days-100kms drive,i was very worried,mahindra people took 7 days to rectify my problem,it leaves bad taste in my mouth,now i am really concerned for the future,its working good now. Mahindra really needs some service industry persons to hire,or to give them some trainings.
