XUV500 W7 or W9 which one to buy , is sunroof and alloy experience worth for difference of INR 2L

Question

Rajeev · Accepted Answer

Sunroof on Cars...Today sunroof is attached to many top of the range models in India and advertisements specifically point this out as a premium feature...Well, my experience...I had used three makes of SUVs with sunroof - namely Landrover Freelander, GMC Envoy and Nissan Armada... in a country with climatic condition of extreme heat and dust, high humidity, cold and some rain... over a period of 12 years...I found sunroof utterly useless. Can't keep it open because of high wind noise above 40kmph approx... one of the cars the Freelander, due to lack of moment of the sunroof, the surrounding rail got rusted and water leaked in.The only slight advantage I found was that during extreme winter, keeping the shade of the sunroof open lets in sunlight which is enjoyable, but, the same is easily compensated by the heater in the car air conditioning...I wouldn't therefore never again waste money on sunroof...

Just another perspective. most of the features of W9 can be installed in W7 by asking the service Center guys to install those as additional accessories or as spare parts and it would be well under 2 L difference. The only option that you are unlikely to get is the Sunroof. I feel that it's not important enough here in India. So it's your choice on how you want to spend your money. Looks can be made to match with that of W11 as well by buying parts from M2All.

Ayush · Answer

See if you are addicted to sunroof then you can buy W9 but if you are okay without it then W7 is great and there is no such issue with normal times but with allow wheels it looks great.If you don't want sunroof then buy W9 and there is no such difference in between these two models

Other than Sunroof, Alloy wheels, power folding mirrors, There is a very major feature in XUV500 W9 which you cant install aftermarket. That is Hill Decent Control & Hill Assist. Thats extremly useful in hill stations with heavy traffic.

Rajeev · Answer

I have a W8 AWD of 2013... that year this was the top of the range. Very pleased, no issues to date. If you are that enthusiastic, go for W11 AWD. You get original navigation, and all other prime features, along with your sunroof...😀

Infact Sunroof these days is a social status The electrically operated stylish sunroof adds to the luxury and exclusivity of the XUV5OO. Alloy wheels adds to superior look or the vehicle.W9  variant.Also thats not all additional features you get in W9 is Voice messaging system, Power folding ORVM, Express down mirrors, Telescopic window and many more

Movidi · Answer

If u have kids or nature lover in your family I'll suggest you to go with w9 (Sunroof). And those alloy wheels can change your total look of the car. If u have tight budget u can go with W7 or else w9. And personal I'll suggest u to go with Automatic varients because XUV'S manual gear has some hard shifts.

Nikhil · Answer

Hi, It totally depends on your needs. If you feel it's worth your money to buy a car with Sunroof and Alloy then please go ahead. Also, 2L is a little too much in my perspective to spend on features like the sunroof and Alloy wheels.

Abhinav · Answer

Aamir · Answer

W9 . both of them are luxuries you cant miss especially after you have opted for an XUV infotainment system is better in w9 too

Nikhil · Answer

W9 offers Alloy wheels, sunroof, hill assist features that don't come in W7. If you are ready to pay that extra for these features then go ahead. Although, engine and other specs won't change from W7 to W9

Prince · Answer

Sunroof does give a premium feel. But it is more of a personal preference. My suggestion is if it is in your budget you can go for it.
