I was under the same impression but the AX7 AT variants get it. You dont need to have 'L' pack for it.

Oh I didn't know that, Thanks!

I asked my SA on the difference between adaptive cruise control on AX7 automatic and adaptive cruise control + stop and go on AX7L automatic. He explained below:

on AX7L:
If you set adaptive cruise control at 80 km/hr following a vehicle ahead, assuming it slows down, your car will slow down and then accelerate automatically without any driver input . Even when vehicle ahead comes to a complete halt, your car will come at halt and will again accelerate up to 80km/hr. If the vehicle ahead zooms above 80km/hr; your car won't cross 80km/hr

on AX7:
If you set adaptive cruise control at 80 km/hr following a vehicle ahead, assuming it slows down, your car will slow down but then won't accelerate automatically. Even when vehicle ahead comes to a complete halt, your car will come at halt but, will require driver's accelerator input to accelerate and reach 80km/hr cruise limit.

So basically AX7L ensures you maintain cruise set speed without the need to press accelerator and brake. It's activated only above 30 km/hr.

AX7 on other hand, brakes in case of an obstacle but will require driver to press accelerator implying cruise control will be reset.

From the User Manual here: https://storagewyh.blob.core.windows...rs-Manual.html



Stop & Go works if the stop duration is less than or equal to 3 seconds I read somewhere.

Also - the difference in regular ACC fir MT and Stop&Go for AT is, the car can completely come to halt and still take off if car ahead moves in less than 3 seconds.

I noted some time earlier (can't recall source) - in MT it's going to be difficult to keep ACC engaged - higher gear, 50kmph vs lower gear stop & go to 5 kmph - will the same gear hold... No. I think the way AT has certain advantages in this department... So Stop&Go ACC is only for AT - L pack may not have anything to do with this.

Just to clarify, the reviewer Omkar in the official review is a member of the Team-BHP Support Crew

So yes, the XUV7OO has been officially reviewed by Team-BHP.

AX7 will slow down if the vehicle ahead slows down and will accelerate automatically if vehicle ahead accelerates (if above 30) or lane is changed to a free one. The SA is referring to condition of a complete stop or speed going below 30 post which ACC will be disengaged on AX7. I've already mentioned this previously.

There is no ACC in MT. MT gets normal cruise control.

L pack has everything to do with Stop & Go because it requires an electronic parking brake. Without an EPB, the vehicle cannot perform auto-hold for 3 seconds and then start moving automatically when vehicle ahead moves.

As per my understanding, if you are trailing a car on an AX7 (which doesn't have ACC) and the car ahead slows down, your car alerts you to slow down first and if you don't act till the last minute, it will apply emergency braking. This is not a smooth slowing down but a jerky/abrupt stop and should be reserved only for real emergency situation. In essence, driver should be in control of slowing down but the car picks up to the set speed as you release the brake.

Mahindra needs to sort this out somehow-

Book Mahindra XUV700 now and get it in 2023, SUV's waiting period reaches 1.5 years

My Brother in law whose Fortuner was stolen last March, has finally gifted himself Xuv700 AX7L Petrol Automatic.

Since the launch, I was thinking of going Mahindra showroom & check the car in person, but i guess i was too lazy to do. Finally saw car in person yesterday & was super impressed & car has indeed come a long way if compared with Xuv500.

Needless to say, i as well voted for Xuv700 as Car of the Year.

AX7 also has ACC. What you are referring to is only limited to the MT version with normal cruise control.

Man people are really confused about ACC. Let me clear it up on what version gets what.

ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control)
All automatic variants of AX7 and AX7L get adaptive cruise control. Vehicle will match speed to the car ahead (by automatically accelerating or braking).

If speed goes below 30, ACC will disengage on the AX7 trim.

ACC with Stop & Go (also known as traffic assist)
Only automatic vehicles with EPB get this. Which as per specs only L variant gets. (and maybe AX7 AWD).

In this 2 things happen:

1. ACC will not disengage when speed goes below 30km/hr.
2. Even if vehicle ahead comes to a complete halt, ACC stays engaged (upto 3s) and automatically starts moving car if vehicle ahead moves.

If more than 3s pass, all you have to do is press resume and the vehicle will start moving again.

Basic cruise control
AX7 and AX7L manual transmission gets basic cruise control. Vehicle only matches the speed set and will not adapt to vehicle ahead. In case the car moves very close to vehicle ahead, AEB will get triggered (if enabled) and the vehicle will come to an abrupt stop.

Sorry, yes I forgot that AX7 gets ACC as well. What I wrote is valid for variants with normal CC.

No airbag deployment concerns me

Or maybe the driver wasn't wearing seatbelts.

Both the scenarios are disappointing.

I always wonder what could be the reason behind linking seatbelt wearing and airbags.

Why shouldn't the airbags open during a crash irrespective of driver wearing a seatbelt or not

Why? It is good for them just like the last time. Sustained demand for 3-4 years assured and then a facelift with added features and power will keep it going for some more years.

Reality is that right now there are more people waiting to book than those who have booked, they just need that extra motivation to know when the vehicle will arrive at a reasonable amount of time to put the money down, that is it.

All automatic variants of AX7 and AX7L get adaptive cruise control. Vehicle will match speed to the car ahead (by automatically accelerating or braking).

If ACC (adaptive cruise control) can match the speed of the vehicle ahead and brake or accelerate as per situation, it will still follow the speed set by the driver, right?

E.g. A long, empty, 6 lane highway with a speed limit of 50kmph (Dehradun has one) sees the driver set 50kmph in Adaptive cruise control and the car ahead starts increasing the speed to 75kmph since the driver in the car ahead is okay with over speeding.

Will ours also follow it by accelerating?

I think that the acceleration and braking works only within the set speed. Right?

If car in front crosses the speed you set in ACC, your car will maintain cruise at the set speed. For ex. if 75 is set and vehicle in front goes to 100, your car will go up to 75 and stay there.
