IS there any video of the AX7 D AT variant without "L" pack? I wanted to see what will I be missing and how is the interior compared to "L" pack.

Plenty of AX7 non-luxury petrol videos out there. Apart from the drive modes button everything in interior is same between diesel and petrol.

Need a suggestion from the forum.

I had booked XUV 700 AX5, AT 5 St from Randhawa Motors Mumbai. Knowing all that is going around in automobile industry I knew the wait could be long and was patiently waiting for my turn.

However on Sunday I for the first time thought of checking the status of my booking. And to my dismay I saw the booking was done for XUV AX5 7 Str Manual

I want Automatic transmission and this is one thing I can't compromise on. Had it been variant change, or fuel change I might have been okay with that. I wrote to customercare@mahindra.com and bookingsupport@mahindra.com but their canned response was that if I change variant now I will be pushed to bottom without any price protection.

I have a written WhatsApp communication where I had confirmed the Automatic variant and that was provided in the escalation email to Mahindra but they seemed to have ignored it.

Is there any recourse for me? Is there any escalation point (apart from Twitter which I know is last resort) where I can get any resolution.

But this looks like XUV700? May be the owner wanted to save on PPF/Ceramic coating cost and opted for this camouflage suit? 😛

If it’s the dealers mistake, ask the dealer to send an email to Mahindra requesting a fix for their mistake. I’ve read a couple of cases on the FB group where Mahindra has modified the order from their side and customer has got an SMS mentioning the modified order.

Quest for real world city mileage of Petrol Automatic XUV7OO.

As per the owner who has had his vehicle for more than 20 days and done a 1000 km plus highway trip.

Highway mileage: 13+ kmpl
City mileage: 10+ kmpl

Tankfull method.

This is extremely impressive considering many owners were reporting 10+ kmpl in-city driving from their petrol XUV7OOs and, I personally didn't/couldn't believe it.

I think sedate driving best mileage in city would be around 10+ for Automatic and 11+ for MT. Worst could be 7-8 kmpl on bumper to bumper for Automatic and 9+ for MT.

Incredible!

I was in similar situation and wrote on above two mail ids. Initial response was cold and I kept pushing by giving them regular gyan on customer care, sometimes sarcastically and luckily it worked for me . I also kept pressure on dealer sales manager.

Keep trying and all the best

Write a mail to the person mentioned in the image below, with a cc to customercare. Also, tag all M&M big shots when you escalate on Twitter.

Hi,
Is Mahindra likely to honor its bookings for MX variant ?

I understand it will be based on many things (chipset availability, their profitability, their strategy, their mood even!) but are they likely simply stop bookings post the launching the Scorpio, or some earlier cut-off date ?

I was looking at Vinfast EV launch, what took my attention was door handles!
Those are designed "Pininfarina", Yes, it's same famous one acquired by Mahindra back in 2015.

I felt the one designed on Vinfast looks better than one on XUV700.

My guess is that they will deliver the initial lot of bookings made for MX - which appears to be about 5% of overall bookings. So if M&M indeed got 50K bookings in two days, and assuming a cancellation rate of 20%, they would have about 2000 MX variant cars to supply. They will surely do this, otherwise the negative publicity could be an unnecessary nuisance for M&M that they would want to avoid.

I am thinking they will drag out the delivery of these 2000 units over 1 year or so, by shipping only around 150 vehicles a month. This will cause further cancellations among these 2000 impatient customers, and they may end up only having to supply 1000-1500 units. In this case, even if the loss per unit of MX (and there surely is a substantial loss at the price point it is positioned in) to M&M is say:

• A loss of Rs. 1 lakh - based on the original booking price prevailing on the 7th October, and
• A loss of 50 K - for bookings made on the 8th (post price increase),

We are then speaking of 1250 units sold at an average loss of 75K - which works out to less than 10 crores - they can easily make this up be selling just 500 AX7s, as these should have a minimum profit margin of 2 lakhs per unit.

For units booked after Day 2, my guess is M&M will execute a discontinuation in the coming months and urge these customers to upgrade to AX3. They have to limit their losses to ensure overall company financial health.

In any case we will know the real story in a couple of days. M&M is supposed to share delivery dates to those customers who have not yet received these (mainly those who booked MX and AX3 variants) on the 25th.

I test drove the XUV 7OO Petrol Automatic AX-5 variant yesterday and found the engine noise to be a bit on the higher side. It's much better than the diesel for sure but not satisfactory. I could hear it at almost all times. Even at idle, there was a slight thrum and slight vibrations. The ride quality was very good though.

Is mine an isolated instance? Can anyone shed input on this? I'm looking to replace the 5 year old Ciaz diesel my wife and staff get chauffeured around in, with a petrol auto AX-5. My running is less but we're keen on a comfy cabin. My family insists on petrol after they've been in my ultra silent Creta 1.5 NA CVT. Our monthly running is not much.
