It is far better than Xylo and most cars in the “less than 20 lakh” segment in India. Once you get used to it, you will love it.<\/h2>\n

For the record. I bought my Innova Crysta in 2022, but I was not able to finish writing the purchase experience and review on time in 2022. After a long delay, I was able to finish in Oct 2023. So making this post – a Purchase experience summary + Review + 23K update.<\/p>\n

This post is divided into two parts.<\/p>\n

Starting from – The Xylo and us<\/strong><\/p>\n

I own(ed) a Xylo E8 mEagle – 2013 model. (Sold in 2023 March). I was a happy owner.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The E8 is good on features for its time. It has ABS, Airbags, Parking sensors, Puddle lamps, chiller AC etc. The mEagle engine, which I believe is based on a Bolero block, produced 112bhp\/240NM. It was a relaxed engine tuned for moving a 1.7-tonne vehicle with 8 people on board. Unlike the mHawk, the younger sibling mEagle, is not a performance scorcher. It had adequate power to cruise at 100+ speeds on highways. The vehicle is mostly stable, but it will nose dive if you brake hard. The ride quality on city roads and pothole-ridden roads was average. The parts and body are well put together. I did not hear any rattles from the dash or body structure till I sold it to a Mahindra Mechanic in mid-2023.<\/p>\n

The only gripe is the ride quality. It is bouncy. We learned to live with it.<\/p>\n

Xylo is a workhorse. It can haul almost any household thing and any amount of luggage. I have moved the following items in my Xylo with the last row folded forward.<\/p>\n
