I paid an additional Rs 944 to paint the ORVMs matching them to the body colour.
BHPian zeus_700 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
Zeus completed the first service. The first service cost is Rs 235/- They are charged only for the consumables.
AMPL Mahindra Guindy had my vehicle for two full days to do the software updates. In my entire car owning experience for the last two decades, this is the first time I have left my car in the workshop for 2 days. The answer I got from the service guys is they were overwhelmed with many XUV 700’s and unable to manage delivery in a day.
It cost me Rs 944/- to paint both the ORVM’s matching the body colour of my AX5. Why would manufacturers behave such miserly? I cannot fathom such practices.
Looks like most of the infotainment issues have been sorted out. Yet, the radio playing at loud volume is not sorted at Ignition on. It still persists. Upon checking with the guy who did the software updates he told me that he could come to my place and do the update again or I should come to the workshop again.
Checked with the Service guys about the Android / Apple car play. They said by end of February or 1st week of March the update is expected and it is almost confirmed it seems. Any news on this from the rest of India? Kindly share.
I have also ordered the rear parcel tray (Mine is a 5-seater) at the time of taking delivery of the vehicle. This is yet to get delivered to me. Upon following up multiple times, I am told that Mahindra is to deliver this by end of February.
I was told only the 4th year warranty is applicable when I took delivery of the XUV but I observed in the “With you Hamesha” app that they have 4th & 5th year warranty together. I am working with the Sales guys to get this done. They are cancelling the 4th year warranty taken and then will do it for both the 4th and 5th year.
Noted a few quirks in the vehicle:
- The central locking can be opened while the vehicle is in motion and the speed-sensitive lock will activate once the vehicle reduces to speeds less than 10 Km/h. In such a safety rich vehicle like XUV 700, I think this is a bummer. I have noticed in Creta you cannot open the central locking when the vehicle is in motion.
- Instrument cluster doesn’t have the radio option display as claimed in the owner’s manual. At least in AX5. Other owners can chime in.
- The drive time (time elapsed) is not constantly shown in the Instrument cluster in the drive info. Other vehicles like Creta displays the drive time/AFE/fuel range on a single screen. Mahindra can think about this and update the software with a fix.
