Re: Mahindra XUV700 Review

I recently bought xuv700 and got scuff plates changed to LED ones, the original ones are spare with me, I am willing to sell - they are brand new, taken off from the showroom before taking delivery. Let me know if someone wants to buy.

There you can find out that the car runs on Android 9!

Android on the car leads to many possibilities like running Android apps natively on the car and even running homebrew software on it.

I am trying to get Android apps to run natively and will update if I get any success.

Hi Shaurya, Have you had any success with sideloading of apps on the XUV700 system?

Hi,
Not sure but you could get it checked for regular high parasitic draw from the battery. Found a video on YT a few days ago.
The guy neatly explained differences between modern day cars needing continous power to keep electronics alive and older ones.

Attaching a link for reference.


Hope it helps.

Re: Mahindra XUV700 Review

Folks, I need some advice on extended warranty.

Is it worth it at the current price? Which plan would you recommend, and is it better to purchase it at the time of buying the vehicle or during the first service?

Mine is an AX7 DAT

Thanks in advance for the help.

Extended warranty is absolutely mandatory if you want peace-of-mind while dealing with unforeseen niggles on the XUV. Best to opt for the same during delivery itself as the rates go up significantly post-purchase. Have myself opted for extended warranty till the 5th year.

After the recent software update, the system has started acting unpredictably—now the Wi-Fi keeps restarting frequently. I’ve recorded a video to explain the issue clearly. It’s been over three years, and my concerns remain unresolved. I’m really unsure when Mahindra will finally be able to address this problem.

Re: Mahindra XUV700 Review

Apple Car play is not working on my MID. It shows as phased out. The Android Auto is working and connecting wirelessly too. Anything needs to be done to enable Car Play? I have got my car delivered only last week, so learning the ropes as of now.

We had this issue when we took delivery of the first batch in Dec 2021. I thought the new manufactured cars would have Carplay enabled by default. Check with the ASC regarding the requisite software update.

In my experience loosely fitting the above cap won't result in what you have experienced. As other members have pointed out it would be either a drain plug issue or an issue with the fitment of the actual filter. I had an similar issue once due to a spurious filter that I used on my VW Polo GT TDI. If the oil cap is not fitted you would lose some oil due to spatter as the timing chain splashes oil out of the opening

Has Mahindra resolved the replacement issues satisfactorily?

Drive on,

Took delivery of my XUV700 AX7L D A/T mid Jan. Havent been able to use it much as I have been travelling on work for the past 10 days. Was able to do a small 60 - 70 KM drive on Sunday, but I did not see any recordings in the 'My Video' Folder. I must call out that I havent yet installed the SD card yet. The sales advisor asked me to get it done during the 1000 KM service. Does the SD card need to be installed for auto recording? Couldnt find anything in the settings related to Auto recording. I can see the composite footage on the dash when I press the Camera button and also took a screenshot of the Rear camera when it was stationary - but cant seem to be able to delete that photo now !

Any pointers will help.

One thing which I had believed that Indian manufactures are doing great and giving tough competition to other foreign brands is all farce because without quality you are 0. The vocal for local only works when there is quality. Nobody would spend their hard money on the sentiments when you know your end product or services is a lemon.
It's sad that due to a technician's laziness and negligence, you had to undergo this unwarranted ordeal of no mistake of yours. Maybe, we all should use the car for a few days after a service or any repair before undertaking a trip. Test and trial runs of about 100kms within our own territory seems a requirement, given the callousness of the service centers. Mahindra or Tata or Hyundai, none are perfect. Also, it's surprising to know that even Mahindra has spares short supply issue.

The Australian version features all black interiors, while we only have white ones in India.
