Or just buy mobile phone holder that can either be fixed on the dashboard or the front windshield or the magnetic holder that can be attached to the AC vents. | |

They seem to have understood the market very well! Again, my point being, the fundamentals of XUV more or less remained the same even after nearly a decade of launch, with upgrades mainly being cosmetics and features. As said by another member, they look half cooked. But one thing that is impressive is they listen to the market. With regards to TATA, though they used to be slow with products and upgrades, in the past year, they seem to have picked up pace in areas which really matter! | |

The XUV succeeded because it was a great product for its time. 2012 was a long time ago in the Indian market. It sounds strange, but I think that the Indian market changes as fast as the technology industry. Think about it- the Sunny, Duster and Innova were considered premium then. Today, only the Innova remains to defend its status, largely by virtue of an inflated price tag. A new Q3 retails for less than the indian price of the Innova in the US. There may be people who justify this based on reliability etc, but that's not an attribute peculiar to Toyota anymore. Last edited by Nissan1180 : 27th January 2018 at 21:27. Reason: Language. | |

2. Isn't it possible to keep your Phone inside the armrest ? I agree that you may not be able to take a quick glance at your Phone if it rings or any messages come or if any notification pops up. In a way it will be better for on-road concentration. ![]() 3. Lack of legroom for someone who is 5'2" ? I think what you meant is lack of reach for the pedals, right ? 4. Cost cutting ![]() 5. Typical behaviour. 6. Any Turbocharged Engine feels dead below the Turbo range. I had Test Drive of both the Manual & Automatic versions & liked the Automatic more. | |

I don't think it's so easy to change, considering the adjustment rails are different. |

Can be done WITH the adjustment rails. The chassis would have the holes for both arrangements. | |

Sir, Though you have done something similar already for Innova; Don't you think this is a violation of the RTO Law, Converting a 6 Seater car to a 7 seater arrangement. You might get away if someone overlooks it, however when detailed checking is done, you might land into trouble. However I am more than 100% sure, ![]() Just my 2 paisa.

| ![]() I was in same dilemma when buying my HEXA about seating configurations. I was lean towards six seat version being more comfortable on long journeys. Most of the trips are done with 4 persons on board but I have cases where my parents or one more family member joins then 7 seats make more sense so I went with 7 seat version and I don't regret it now as they are good in term of comfort and also practicality. |

Sir, how is the XMA doing. What are the initial driving impressions? Could you post some pics, especially the long shot of tyres? How is the audio since it has a few speakers less. Looking forward to a review from your father. |

![]() My experiences too have been exceptional. I have been through a lot of bad roads and mountainous terrain. The ride & drive has to be experienced to be believed. After 5 months and more than 6k kms, I still feel wanting more after calling it a day. After driving a variety of cars (Maruti Omni, Premier Padmini, Fiat Palio & Linea, Honda City, Hyundai Accent, I20, Santro, extensive test drives of XUV500, Crysta & Fortuner) I can confidently say that this is the best 4 wheeler I have driven. | |
