How did they rectify this? Did they change the vehicle

Anyone who got their XUV700 serviced in Gurgaon, especially 1st Service. I'm new to Mahindra and would like to know the better service centres in the city.

Thanks!

Dear sir. Can you share the vendors details. I'm from Mumbai and will check it out.

Nope, only cleaned and apologized. With no mechanical faults, I felt these are minor issues and not deal breakers, also, was too excited to reject an allotted XUV700!

I had faced the same issue where NBS Andheri gave me same excuses for not allowing PDI at warehouse. I was very clear that I need to do a PDI before I make full payment. A few calls exchanged with Sales Advisor for a few days & then he said they can get car to showroom for PDI but then again it will go back to warehouse. I told them this is just not acceptable. Either I do PDI at warehouse or if I do it at the showroom the car stays there till delivery. Since no conclusion could be reached I sent an email to Customer Care Mahindra with a copy to Regional Sales and next day I got call from GM of NBS. Agreed to keep the car at showroom only post PDI and also told me to make payment only after PDI is done. Vehicle had clocked 74 kms when PDI was done at Andheri & same during Delivery. So you can expect around same or 10 kms more.

So handle it patiently and it will get sorted out. Cheers.

Hello Sir,
I received delivery of Petrol MX in June 2022 without a second Key FOB. The dealership did not ask to sign any form related to the same but mentioned it may be delivered in 2-3 months.

Sir if you can highlight about the suspension noise in xuv700, does it make the ride uncomfortable and noisy?

Any issues with ADAS you faced? I follow a famous Youtuber his brakes failed and had ADAS issues

Thanks again

1. There is plenty discussion about the youtuber in question. I wouldn't call him "famous". That person seems to have a history of abusing cars. His next car, a fortuner, also ran into issues after purchase. I feel like there is more to that story than the youtuber is letting on. I wouldn't take it too seriously.
2. I have driven the 700, and the suspension noise is not all that noticeable. It definitely does not make the ride uncomfortable and noisy. We were 4 fully grown adults on board. So the car was decently loaded. What I drove had about 80% good roads, and 20% mixed. Nowhere was the suspension noise that noticeable.
3. Within the same drive, I also got a small demo of AEB (auto emergency braking), and lane assist in action. The ADAS system did not get over-triggered even in moderate traffic situations. It is not intrusive.

Overall, there are about 300 pages of user observations on this thread. I have been following this thread from its very inception, and yes, there have been issues. However they are nowhere as extreme or widespread. Certainly not any greater than most of the competition I would say.

Hi All,

Just wanted to know if any of you who has been facing suspension sound, has been able to successfully get it fixed ? I have been in discussion with couple of service centers and while they all accept informally that this is an issue, but they don't seem to have any guidelines from Mahindra on resolving this.

I have also reached out to regional customer care manager who acknowledged this issue to be present with multiple vehicles, but he is not able to provide any long term solution other than torqueing the suspension setup which is of no respite.

I also see a petition on change.org with this issue which proves that this is not an isolated issue and Mahindra not able to address this is not a good sign.

Thanks for the reply.

Can we not switch off the ADAS completely?

Reading everything I'm at comfort now to go ahead qith delivery.

Now only thing left is how to install a roof carrier /box

Have a suggestion for this issue. The headlamps switching automatically to low beam from high in auto mode is probably due to the fact that you may have selected the option of high beam assist. This makes the headlamps go to low beam from high beam when it senses any ambient light coming from the front (which in our conditions is most of the time).

Solution : Go to Settings >> Driver Assistance >> High beam assist.
Uncheck the box.

Now you have 'manual' control over the high and low beams by using the stalk conventionally even while the headlamps are in the auto mode.

Drove XUV 5OO for a decade and I know how it was when it comes to electronics/ sensors.

However, I was also amazed to see that there is no CC. It was available a decade back in my W6. Infact, 5OO was much better in many aspects (despite being cheaper by almost 8-9 Lakhs).

Key Differences (W6 vs AX5 D AT 7-Seater):

I can totally relate to what you're saying. We uses to own the first gen W6 which came with almost all bells and whistles except ESP and touchscreen and it was a steal back then.

For points 1 & 6, Kindly check RavenAvi Sir's post. There are possibilities as the wiring is already present. Only hardware is required.

Remaining points I think M&M took a back seat and they're hell bent on not providing sliding mechanism for 2nd row seats and more bootspace

I think ADAS can be disabled.
I can imagine turning it off in cities, where lane markings may not be consistent, and we have very messy streets. But on the highways, it would be safer, and helpful too.

Won't the roof carrier/box go against the sky-roof? Would block most of the view above. Though I can understand the necessity considering the meager boot space.

The demand and waiting for XUV700 did not come from these Youtubers - it came from their product packaging and the customers who saw value in it and trusted them with their hard earned money, they need to wake up and treat these customers with the respect that they deserve before it’s too late! Just 1-2 decent alternate product launches from competitors and people are not going to be sticking around here long.

I suggest you start tweeting Anand Mahindra now.I see the ASM,Customer experience manager are not responding here. 3 Months without the delivery and you paying EMI is very bad.

I remember him mentioning somewhere that he is in the line too waiting with his and wife’s booking

I have mentally checked out from my XUV700 booking, have had enough - not worth the hassle and my time. Looking at new Tucson and Fortuner as alternate options, if the dealer/Mahindra can deliver on their own before these materialize then will take it otherwise will go with one of these.
