Toyota Innova vs Mahindra Xylo : Comparison

Innova vs Xylo

Innova is the reigning champion in MUV segment in India. Mahindra has jumped in with a challenger Xylo. Lets see how these competes on paper.  It is well known that Mahindra had designed and developed Xylo from ground up to beat the Champion Innova. On papers Xylo is better than Innova in most areas. Xylo’s height is more than Innova’s this might be good for getting in and out of the car and for better head room but this will affect the driving dynamics and might increase bodyroll. Xylo might have a engine more powerful than the Innova’s but, its heavier too so the engine’s extra power might not directly translate into more performance in Xylo as it needs to pull extra 240kg.

    go for mahindra Xylo

  4. HarshBhatnagar April 6th, 2009 4:06 pm :

    An ultimate experience and believe me this the breakthrough in the world of MUVs. The only hitch which I found in Xylo is the quality of plastic used but with having so many +ves this can be ignored.

  5. upendra May 29th, 2009 2:57 am :

    Good MUV but can be improved lot. Cosmetic and interior still to be improved. Mileage can be improved , actual mileage 10 to 11 km/ ltr. Combination of color and facilities and confusing. one can think of making all rage of color be available in all models of the car. Good pickup. good speed. good stability, better control . backside a/c vent can be at other side of the seat for better effect of a/c. on the persone seating in chair.

    i hv bought a xylo e4 in june 2009 . lightbrownsilver color .excellent vehicle . the high torque avoids gear changing in low rpms . i lov the ecm settings . Pick up is excellent , road grip is excellent same goes for stability . vehicle reg no is mh-04-dy-766 . fitted sony explod/ autocop 9000/ electronic rat repellant . done 7000 kms w/o any probs .i would advocate this vehicle for adventurers. surprisingly the vehicle responds to criss cross driving without leaving the road . lov it

    TOYOTA INNOVA IS THE BEST FORE EVER XYLO IS ‘0′ ZERO BESIDE INNOVA INNOVA IS A LUXRY XYLO CANNOT EVER BEAT TOYOYA INNOVA THE CHAMPION

  13. Shrikant September 8th, 2009 3:22 pm :

    Well in my understanding xylo is alternative to innova . One who dont have budget to purchase an innova but still want a good MUV I duly suggest them xylo. With xylo coming in the top 10 sellers toyota shall think of the cost factor of innova or the INNOVA will soon have no sales . They shall bring down some model in comparision with xylo or bring down the cost of innova .INNOVA is luxury for sure but XYLO might soon improve on the same.

  14. Ram September 11th, 2009 10:20 am :

    I OWN A INNOVA AND IT HAV DONE 1,00,000kms I SAY ITS SIMPLY EXCELLENT AND ALWAYS THERE IS NO OTHER COMPETITION FOR INNOVA IT IS D BEST IN ITS CLASS IN EVERY ASPECT. THOUGH XYLO IS GOOD BUT ITS QUALITY OF PLASTICS AND LOOK CAN’T EVEN STAND NEAR INNOVA AND ALSO OFCOURSE RIDING COMFORT

  15. prince October 6th, 2009 3:23 pm :

    XYLO is the best not only economicaly bt also due 2 its exelnt features….

  16. Niloy October 8th, 2009 12:30 am :

    Well for the guys who purchased innova or xylo..both the cars were rented..i was in the passenger seat of innova for a small 15min drive n it gave me the most terrible ride a car could give..it is absolutely not suitable for a LITTLE rough roads..my back was aching for several minutes…i was also in the passenger seat of xylo e4(which is not the top model)..inside it looked like a beauty and anyday it beats the innova in luxury..as well as comfort is concerned it did not dissapont me..coz it was an hour long drive both through city road and rough roads…it was really comfortable and smooth…the rear seats have a lot of space and comfort unlike innova…mayb from outside innova is far betted but from inside the xylo beats in performance and comfort and also luxury.

  17. PANKAJ October 15th, 2009 9:57 pm :

    I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY AN EXPERT ON VEHICLES THAT INNOVA IS FAR FAR BETTER THAN SCORPIO BUT MYSELF FEEL THAT A COMPANY LIKE MAHINDRA HAS PRESENTED AN ECONOMICAL ALTERNATIVE TO VARIOUS MUVs LIKE INNOVA,SUMO GRANDE,SAFARI,SCORPIO,TAVERA ETC
    HENCE THEY HAVE MADE XYLO AFTER EXPERIENCING ALL THE POSITIVE FEATURES OF ALL ALTERNATIVES THEREFORE IT SHOULD BE A VALUE FOR MONEY PRODUCT.
    CAN SOMEBODY SUPPORT ME ON THIS OPINION WHO HAVE TESTED THESE ALTERNATIVES.

    THANKS IN ADVANCE.

  18. Indushekhar October 23rd, 2009 11:25 am :

    Xylo a superb vehicle, more tough and sturdy with great inbuilt which drives u crazy. its an unstoppable in highways…..a best best best buy for tight budget with more power than innova. but Interiors quality have to be improved more

    i am planning to buy xylo, but most of peoples suggest for innova. can u suggest more + ve of xylo to select it

  22. Sabiro December 9th, 2009 4:20 pm :

    One by one, Xylo problems are now surfacing. Dealer says these are initial teething problems but looks like I made a mistake and should have opted for Innova v 2.5. Xylo broke down on a tour with family and luggage from Bangalore to Calicut. Car had to be towed away and got delivery only after 10 days. Dealer was evasive what went wrong. Belive me, I feel cheated already and am planning to sell this.

  23. mamta January 5th, 2010 11:49 pm :

    I WANT TO KNOW THE AVERAGE AND SERVICING+ MAINTENANCE AND ALSO THE AFTER SALES CAMPARISON OF INNOVA AND XYLO

  24. madhu January 18th, 2010 11:31 am :

    I am planning to buy xylo, but many people suggest me to go for innova. Please suggest me the resale value of xylo and the AC of it. I heard that AC is not very effective.

  25. NARENDRA SINGH January 29th, 2010 8:54 pm :

    There iz no competition in innova and xylo becoze the inovva is best in suv vehicle
    all glitter iz not gold

  30. Binil February 23rd, 2010 6:39 pm :

    In the world of Taxi services, innova is unparrellel because of its comfort and performance. Go for the international standard vehicle. It is seen that the vehicle which are indian make wont sustain their performance for long which includes ‘Great XYLO’. While I was purchasing MUV, never considered XYLO as an option as I cannot consider as an alternative to INNOVA. Though the price is higher, INNOVA is selling more than XYLO, wonder is that those who prefer MUV for personal purpose will look first option as INNOVA. This is Japanese technology, not American, not Indian, so can trust

  31. muthukrishnan February 26th, 2010 11:04 am :
