Everyone in the family loves the vehicle for the space, looks and the features. Looking forward for the exciting ownership.

Special thanks to Team-BHP / BHPians.

Congratulations on acquiring the beast Happy munching miles!!

Dear All,

I am putting here my observation with XUV Nav system: want to know if is it as expected or an issue, which I need to get corrected via Service Center.

1: To go from Location A to Location B, google maps shows multiple route options, and user can pick up any one route to start navigation. However in nav system of XUV, it take one route as default for same travel of Location A to Location B.

Is this default behaviour of XUV nav system or there is an upgrade of nav system missing in my vehicle.

My XUV is Aug 2014 manufactured, and last month in first service at 5K kilometer, Nav was supposedly upgraded.


2: There are few important locations missing in Nav. One example: Passport Seva Kendra at Thane( Mumbai). While searching for the same, I was being routed to Back office of RPO Thane, which was 1-1.5 KM away from PSK.

So which made me think, how often does the map get updated( once in a year or once is 2 years or more)

Any idea on this?


Thanks in advance,

I have not seen the nav system showing multiple options. It shows the shortest route. I do not think there are frequent updates to the maps...may be once in 2 years or more... Mine is also a Aug 2014 model and there was no update till date.

Pardon me for my ignorance, but don't all nav systems come with an option of "Fastest route" or "Shortest Route"? The fastest route may not necessarily be shorter.

Cheers

Thanks.

As per G3 motors Nerul, multiple options should be shown in Nav system. Hence they asked me to send my XUV for upgrade.
But I wasn't sure, if their info is correct, hence put the question on this forum to get views from people.

Another query here: can we get to know, which MapmyIndia version is being used in XUV. What I understand MapmyIndia version 9.0 got released in first hald of 2014. So did XUV nav system get this update or not?


Regards,

Balpreet

Hello username,

Zulaikha motors is the best based on my experience. I am giving my XUV there from 2012 onwards. The RMs are knowledgeable and provides best services. Most of spare parts are available in stock I was told.

Congrats Vivek. Good choice. Btw I am jealous of you guys in North and other states. W6 is about 14.8 on road in Bangalore due to high taxes after discounts

Yes I am also in the same boat as you. Got my W8 delivered end of March. So far so good though too early to give any real inputs.

Sorry SDP, SuperTinu & others.
Booked my Satin White W8 yesterday( My son chose the colour). Since the car is being purchased through CSD hence will take more than a month to deliver. The process starts by dealer booking the vehicle and the factory sending one on my name.
Just keeping my fingers crossed regarding the refresh because it will take about 3-6 months before the refresh is available through the CSD after the launch and I can't wait that long. Why delay the fun, So went ahead with it. Wish me luck.

Congratulations RajeVenu. CSD means good pricing as well . Whats the onroad price that you will get? White is a lovely color. I might have chosen white if my other car wasnt white. I also could have waited for new launch but then just didnt have the patience to wait 3-4 months. Car buying to me is all about timing. Probably 4 months down the line i would have lost all the excitement itself. Happy motoring.

Thanx SuperTinu,
I would have gone with silver although got no aversion to white. My son wants white so white it is. I would be able to tame the beast at under 13Lakhs if all goes well. Thanks for the wishes.
