The XUV Factor

The new Mahindra XUV300 is an impressive car, and it deserves all the support it can get to make it a success.

YOU KNOW HOW IT IS GOES about having low expectations, and then seeing them demolished by over-performance? Just look at the English team during the last World Cup in Russia. “It” did not “come home”, but the English players were celebrated by their country’s usually over-critical football media. Now, most of us in the automotive writing trade usually do not have huge expectations from cars. After you have been doing this as long as I have, you pretty much know what you are going to get. A BMW 3 Series will go around corners like a man possessed, a Volvo will not just be safe but also come loaded with technology, Hyundais won’t be the best cars to drive but will be brilliant value and Marutis will always be cheap and cheerful.
