Retrofitting ABS, Defogger et all in Xylo

anarkanu · 26th October 2009, 16:41

Dear All,I am planning to go for Xylo as family vehicle , but can only buy an E4 variant ( since that's topmost available thru CSD presently). What i was basically looking for was ABS ( available in E8 now) as also certain other features such as Rear defogger and others.Though some of these can be retrofitted, I have specific query on if the Defogger and ABS can be retrofitted on cars?Another Option is going for Scorpio SLE but it's a different class and cramped interiors, while also a lakh extra.Please advise if the same can be done? If not then what are the options if any.regards.

ABS Retrofitting is definitely NOT advisible. I even doubt if this can be done. Factory Fitting is still the best. Personal advise would be to explore other options for the same

Retrofitting ABS onto the Xylo is not happening. Defogger I am not sure. I am sure you are aware the antenna is also embedded into the rear glass of the Xylo.

I think the E6 is good VFM. The wait would be worth it for sure. Unfortunately even this is not available with ABS though.

noted beejay... Think will check some other options also. Need to buy the car within next month thus the hurry.
