1. Mud flaps come factory fitted. A dealer in Kerala who I inquired with tried 'selling' me these. 2. Logistics, handing etc charges are downright illegal. Do fight it out. I bought my car from Fortune Motors, Thane and I can highly recommend my SA Preetam. PM me if anyone plans to make a purchase from Thane/Mumbai and I will share his #. Quote:
Since my dealer did not have the Hexa branded mats (out of stock), I ended up purchasing these on my own. Attaching pics for reference. Material is plastic, custom cut and hand stitched in front of me. Each mat has a couple of velcros at the bottom that help in gripping the carpet. Fits extremely well. Best part is that if one particular mat wears out, that single piece can be bought. Cost: 1800/- | ||

Hi, The on-road cost for me came to about 19,70,000 that included side steps and carpet mats. I don't have the split of the amount right now. The deal you are getting, seems to be pretty good (especially insurance). Hope you are able to get the deal you are looking for. Cheers!!! Last edited by ampere : 8th September 2017 at 21:08.

| ![]() I am happy with the deal, only the excess illegal handling, logistics and what not charges have caught my attention. Summing things up - they are dishonouring the judgements of SC, HC, RTO (I haven't seen the actual judgement copies yet. All updates are from news articles only). The worse possible thing they did is bundle up these charges under the RTO registration charges, obviously to hide it from customer attention. While browsing through their quote for XTA, I felt the RTO fees too be in excess. And ultimately, the gave the breakdown of RTO charges which had almost 12000/- guised under handling/logistics/agent/showroom charges. Will take up with right authorities soon. Frankly speaking, the above is not at all turning my overall purchase experience even a bit bitter. Things like these keep coming up in life every now and then and I am patiently running this issue parallely without it affecting my excitement of the owning a new car. Been associated for almost 10 years with Tatas and Mahindras, I, actually enjoy being associated with their teams for good or bad. So I am now immune to any good or bad impressions left by their sales or service team. Wishing everyone here happy ownership ahead and would soon join the HEXA team. Looking forward to meet one and all in person to munch some miles together. ![]() |

| ![]() On Mats : I took the rubber mats from The dealer instead of carpet ones. I have small kids so, carpet mats could be troublesome to clean. Rubber ones are good quality and black in color. Good fit and finish. You should ask your dealer for those, check yourself and decide. Side steps : they do flex in all cases - black or silver. But the mounts - the steel angle structures which connect them to chassis do not flex. This is the design itself. If you see under the side step, you will see a plastic fiber material which provides this cushion effect. |

| ![]() Carpet mats lets in the sand, and it settles at the bottom, leaving the surface clean. Rubber mats lets you see and feel the sand every time you are in the car. It will irritate your feet every time the sand and debris rub against them. And yes, rubber mats look ugly. |

| ![]() Some pics of my XTA. I bought the sidestep, 4D BOOS mats and door visor from the dealer. I got more than 10% discount on the accessories. |

I have a question on the side foot steps. Mine has the same ones as yours. However, to me it appears to be a bit protruding out in the way it is fixed by the dealer. It's not neatly tucked in like the other cars. Do you find the same? Do I need to ask my dealer to re-do the fixing to fit I properly? While it is functional with a bit of flex but I'm afraid it might scrap against other vehicles or big stones/footpath kerb in narrow lanes. Please let me know your observation from your vehicle. | |
