Mahindra XUV 500 W8 4WD

Mahindra XUV 500 W8 4WD Review

 This variant is the high-end variant with all possible features that one expects of an SUV and addition features beyond the expectations of a car buyer. First of let us clear the gas about all drive wheel. All-wheel drive allows power to be distributed among the wheels in any configuration. Rather than picking one of the front wheels and one of the back wheels, a vehicle with all-wheel drive can choose whichever wheels have the most traction, giving a driver optimum road grip. For example, an all-wheel-drive system could transfer power to only the front wheels or only the back wheels, whereas a four-wheel-drive car could only choose between the left and right side. All-wheel-drive vehicles tend to get slightly less gas mileage due to the added weight from the multiple-wheel-drive components as well as the extra power required to engage more wheels.

Better weight distribution in this model provides more consistent handling and allows more evenly distribution of a vehicle's weight across its frame.  W8 AWD model intends for off-road use and is more capable of moving on muddy surfaces or through shallow water. Since all four wheels are capable of propelling the vehicle forward, it can continue to drive even if one or two wheels lose traction due to slippery surfaces such as ice, snow or mud.

The Interactive torque management in the SUV automatically redistributes the torque between the front and rear wheel to maneuver the XUV 500 out of trouble. This seamless transition from 2WD to AWD without any driver’s intervention gives you a level of handling prowess unmatched by conventional vehicle. Rest, all the features are similar to W6 2WD model.

Mahindra XUV 500 W8 2WD Review

 Again this is a 2 wheel drive option. This model comes with a drivetrain that allows two wheels to receive power from the engine simultaneously. Such cars are considered superior in conditions such as snow, mud or wet tarmac. The engine is placed transversely (east-west) in Mahindra XUV 500 unlike other cars in which engine is placed longitudinally (north-south direction). Mostly the FF (front-engine front wheel drive cars) uses this state of engine. But this variant is quite different from the previous W6 2WD model in terms of features. The WB8 2WD variant has a 6” color touch screen display, GPS navigation with touch screen and audio support. The model also has DVD player along with 4 door speakers, 2 tweeters on dash and integrated music system with CD/MP3 player which supports iPod and USB connectivity as well as DIS in-built infotainment system. The model boasts of its Tyre Tronics, Intellipark, side and curtain airbag with driver and passenger airbag. This model is high on safety with ESP (Electronic Stability Program) with Rollover Mitigation, Hill Hold and Hill Descent Control. The interiors of this car look amazingly superb with leather upholstery, Telescopic steering, illuminated key rings, storage spaces on central console, cell phone charging points in all 3 rows and glove box with laptop holder.
