Jeep Compass has a very well made spacious cabin as the seats color of the car is white which give it more airy feel. As , I have told the seats of these car is comfortable the other thing which add on this is the good leg room and knee room and it is wider car from back so sitting of three passengers will not be a problem at all.

This car also good in terms of utility section as in the doors you can keep the 1L bottles and the glove box is also of decent size . You can also keep your stuff in the center console as well and in the front armrest too.

The boot of the Compass is also very wide and there is no loading lib so keeping that big boxes will not be that much problem at all . So total boot space of compass is of 438L.

DRIVING DYNAMICS

This car comes with two engine options :-

                                                     PETROL ENGINE

TYPE :- 1.4L Multiair Petrol in-line 4 cylinderPOWER:- 160bhp @ 5500rpmTORQUE:- 250Nm @ 2500-4000rpmTRANSMISSION :- 6 speed Manual  and 7 speed DCT

                                                  DIESEL ENGINE

TYPE:- 2.0L Multijet II diesel in-line cylinderPOWER:-  170bhp @ 3750rpmTORQUE:- 350Nm @ 1750-2500rpmTRANSMISSION:- 6 speend manual

This engine gives city mileage of about 13.14kmpl and highway mileage of 18.5kmpl.

This car is ideal for highway journey and offroading more as compared to that on the city conditions because its clutch is heavy and the steering wheel is also heavy which make it difficult to drive in the city condition. But when you drive this car on the highway it will blow your mind with its performance as it has very good handling and you will love to push this car into corners with such powered engines and with 4 wheel drive the handling and drive ability of car increases more.

When you take this car over the hills or on bad roads its traction control and 4 wheel drive make it amazing to drive . You will feel very less bumps on harsh roads as it comes with stiffer suspension setup. (Front suspension- McPherson strut , Rear suspension- Multi link).

ABOUT MAHINDRA XUV 5OO

This car has got recently facelift and this car is also was a nice looking car because in its facelift there is too much going on its design which makes its little bit disturbing too much but from the car overall look you can get the feel of SUV stance , so by not talking too much of its design we will talk about its interiors .

This car has got piano black finish in the cabin the cabin looks good but catches dust very frequently. The seats of this car is are good for side support and knee support but there cushioning is not good so finding the ideal driving position is difficult.

FEATURES

• Cruise Control

• Electrical adjustable driver seats

• 7 Seater

• All wheel drive configuration

• Sunroof

SPACE IN CABIN

This car is better in space as compared to that of the jeep compass because it is a 7 seater and when we fold the rear most seats the boot increases in a huge amount and the second seats have the option of the Captain seats and bench seats .

The space in this car also good for keeping your utility places as the doors can have easily that 1L bottle and the glove box is much better than the size of the glove box in the jeep compass. In this car the knee room and shoulder room are good but the less cushioning seats decreases the comfort.

This car comes with boot space of 93 L with all the seats up and this boot space is mainly not for keeping your big stuff but with rear seats fold the boot increases to 702 L which is very large and the rear seats make the surface flat so keeping the big boxes will not be that much problem .

(Score in space section is 90)

DRIVING DYNAMICS

This car comes with one engine option:-

                                                                  PETROL ENGINE

TYPE:- 2.2L mHawk 4 Cylinder petrol engine
POWER:- 140bhp@ 4500rpm
TORQUE:- 320Nm @ 2000-3000rpm
TRANSMISSION:- 6 Speed automatic

The mileage in the city is 8 to 9 kmpl and on the highway is 11 to 12 kmpl.

                                                                  DIESEL ENGINE

TYPE:-2.2L mHawk 4 cylinder diesel engine
POWER:- 155bhp@ 3750rpm
TORQUE:- 360Nm @ 1750-2800rpm
TRANSMISSION:- 6 Speed manual and automatic

The mileage in city is 10 to 11 kmpl and on highway the mileage is 15 to 16 kmpl.

Both of the engine are quite powerful and of the best engine at this price range there is only one petrol engine and this car is more known for its diesel engine and this car is quite powerful and with the all wheel drive configuration and by this it also become a quite good contender for offroading as well.

This car is good for both the highway and city purposes as it has very light clutch and light steering wheel which make it very easy to drive , the bad thing about this car is that it does not have that much punch or power in the engine which is offered by the diesel engine of jeep compass . 

This car is not as tough on bad roads as compared to jeep compass you will feel the bumps in the cabin this is because its suspension is on the softer side and the front suspension is McPherson Strut and rear suspension is Multi link. This car has got better brakes than the one in the jeep compass but its seats remove the overall comfort in this car.
