I have hopped in just to clear up your doubt[:)]. It is not the member's or mod's nomenclature, but Mahindra & Mahindra who claim that XUV5OO is Cheetah inspired.

Heres what M&M says about the XUV5OO.
Akash,

XUV is a very good vehicle, but even I get the same doubt like prasanth that how M&M compare it with "cheetah" as there is no comparison between both in their control and speed and behavior. Their statement about drawing inspiration from Cheetah also surprises me. If some body watch cheetah while its top speed running, it quickly change the lanes to complete different directions and it has superb balance in corners and I have never seen such characteristics with XUV.

I am writing this only to that statement of Cheetah inspired and no offense in to any body or anything thing of the vehicle here[:)]

One great doubt to me is Everyone in this site the members the mods and the manufacturer say XUV500 is cheetah inspired is it only with looks or performance?

WHY BECAUSE

the animal planet and the Nat geo channel people say that the animal cheetah runs very fast and to be the fastest animal but it has a suspension like featured neck which helps the head to be constant focus on the pray, when the animal runs in any angle, any speed, any direction and any surface which means stability is more comparing other animals

Whereas in XUV500 its not good to travel for long distance comfortably, Its not stable on Rough roads,

Can anyone please explain how it is inspired?


How can the Cheetah's running dynamics or neck or whatever be compared to the artificial made vehicle?

They just designed it and some marketing techniques are used in here. I mean its common for the manufacturers to get inspiration from the animals, humans and birds. I did not find any valid point in your post.

It troughs passengers here and there and sometimes passenger at second row and third row get vomiting sensation while travelling long distance
Have you seen or experienced this personally? Because this thing happens for the people who has travelling sickness or to the ones who travels less often.

Its got no inspirations from a cheetah but more of a rhino or something. First thing that came to my mind when I saw it.
Personally I din't find anything similar between cheetah and XUV. Yes they might have been influenced from the cheetah, but personally don't think it seems like cheetah.
I personally feel it looks more like a dragon then a cheetah .

I am somehow getting a feeling that either you dint sit in an XUV or it was a a demo car with iron rods instead of springs for testing purposes!

In design ONLY!

P.S.: Please make constructive criticisms bro, everyone appreciates it. Your comments are so far fetched that it shows you have a strong hatred or dislike towards the brand or the car, which is strongly influencing your posts too. Just a suggestion - you can kindly ignore this and no replies/explanation is required.
