Most Helpful Review

Extremely poor engine & clutch

I bought this car in 2020 and never imagined it to have a higher maintenance cost than a luxury car. The engine, clutch, and gear problems are persistent. The service team will never discuss the service history of your car, rather just mint money by making invoices. I have spent nearly 2L on the car on these issues and yet they say the clutch is a consumable part bound to be changed every 6 months. MG Motors you need to up the game to survive in India.

The driving experience is excellent

The driving experience is excellent, and the mileage is also good. My XUV 700 gets 15 kmpl on the highway and 12.5 kmpl in city driving. It's very comfortable and smooth to drive. I suggest using this SUV.
