Or at least have ASC be ready to answer customer questions! ASCs are treating this as just another niggle they ignore.

I am not sure whether Smart Pilot was working when the error was ON but can confirm that it did not switch of any of those and having to switch them back on.

Re: Mahindra XUV700 Review

My XUV700 AXL DSL Manual completed the first 1k kms and no mechanical niggles. Car is breeze to drive and there’s a smile on your face when you push the pedal, amazing feeling. However I am experiencing a jarring sound in my music system, is it a hardware or a software issue? Anyone else experiencing the same?

I haven't experienced it yet but based on what others have reported this is fixed with a software update.

Re: Mahindra XUV700 Review

Our XUV 700 AX7L AT completed close to 2k Km and only had the issue of black screen one time in it's first 500 Km , the SA whom we purchased the car from was prompt in answering our query on the black screen ( It was 7:30 AM then ) . He told us to go the Mahindra workshop nearby and that he will call that service center to be ready to flash the vehicle. Thankfully , i just shut off the car and restarted it and it was back to normal ( Took 5 tries ) .

Rest of the time the car was flawless , the first service experience was also good and they even corrected the fitment of the aftermarket bumper which was not placed correctly ( More on that later ) .

The service depends on dealer to dealer and SA to SA , Koncept Mahindra Noida has evolved itself to be a really good dealership and Mahindra as a company is trying to give really good customer support.( The first time I went there , it was not that good experience) .

Nothing comes near the XUV 700 in it's price range and from even segments above . Everytime I look at it I feel lucky that i get to sit in it .

P.S - Can't wait to make my driving licence

Gallingly, the petrol AX5 does not even get ESP

We think AX5 is well loaded because of a sunroof and big touch panel, but to me, many of the missing features are worth more than these two.
Thanks for the inputs. The more I look at it AX7 seems more logical. I am looking at the all the differences. It is frustrating from a consumer perspective when VFM is more cosmetic than functional.

The worry is on the pricing front, M&M doesn't provide any price protection if you book the product now. Based on my experience I believe the supply chain issues, especially the chip shortages are likely to last for a further 2 years, so the prices are likely to go upwards or there could be a small correction. A big decision, so playing a wait and watch game now.

Reach out to Nagaraj at the dealership and he can help. My sales rep shared available cars from time to time (1-1) until I told him very firmly that I wasn’t interested till I got exactly what I booked.
Thanks for the update. I booked on 2 Feb 2022 AX7L Petrol AT. And Nagaraj, today (10th June 2022), gave a tentative delivery date of July2023. That's still 13 Months away but better than Nov2023 delivery date showing in Mahindra Portal.

Im confused now with respect to my next steps. Maybe I have to start looking at alternatives like Safari, Innova Petrol and some pre-owned cars as well.

I know some amount of left pull occurs in all cars due to road banking, but if it is so, is it possible that most of the left pull issues reported by users are just due to the road and there isn't any actual problem in the car? I am posting the link to the said video here.

Yes even I faced this issue (rather still facing). They tried getting the alignment done multiple times but that has only minimised the problem not eliminated it.

Have they tried steering calibration? One user got it resolved through steering calibration.

I am experiencing this. My observation has been that this usually happens when I stream songs of Badshah (specifically Jugnu / Tabahi that have high beats) from the iPhone over bluetooth. The same issue cannot be reproduced when you are connected through Android/Android Auto or iPod mode (by connecting the iPhone to the USB Port).

For now, the work around that I am using is to stream music through my Android phone.

Re: Mahindra XUV700 Review

While driving back from Guwahati today i drove roughly 300kms out of which 40 km was in city driving condition & for another almost 50 km while driving through kaziranga NH stretch the speed was restricted to under 40 kmph. Still i got mileage of 15.3 kmpl. Was quite elated with the mileage figure. Though while through posts i could see other people have got even upto 16.4 kmpl. Mine is AX5 manual Petrol 7 seater.

It is present in my XUV700 as well. Its like a Chinese cheap quality AMP is powering on. It's a software issue and I hope that it would be resolved soon.

Also if you remote unlock the car and sit inside for like 5-10 min without turning on the power. The instrument cluster resets its self. The F.E. gauge also resets with the same jarring sound.

Its very annoying but hoping to get a resolution soon.

Re: Mahindra XUV700 Review

Hey Folks,

A few questions on Adrenox x Alexa app
1. Has anyone been able to get Alexa to play music via Spotify in the car? I have linked my Spotify account to Amazon in the Alexa app. If yes what were the steps? Whether through the Alexa app on the phone or directly through voice command in the car infotainment?

2. Through the Alexa app on the phone, I have been able to check on the status of various elements of the car; eg. Check tyre pressure (also reads out each tyre pressure), Check lamp status, Check ODO reading etc which do not need the 4-digit pin. But when I ask Alexa to start the car, it asks me for the voice pin (same as the one in the adrenox app) but it says cannot connect at the moment? Anyone know why?

3. Came across an interesting news release on the amazon website regarding the integration of the Alexa App with the XUV700. Here it also mentions that you can effectively operate the remote features from the Fire TV stick as well! I couldn’t get my fireTv (same account) to do it. Anyone tried that?

Cheers!

I got frustrated with the delay in the delivery of my XUV and went to take a look at the Jeep Meridian last weekend.

Gotta say - Every time I do such things, I end up with a renewed conviction in my decision to go with the XUV The Jeep's third row is too cramped even for my 9 year old and its second row feels no wider than that of the Compass. For all practical purposes, it is a Compass with a larger boot. It is unclear why they think there is a large market for the vehicle.

Compass itself is selling under 1000 and Jeep is content so I don't think they are expecting big market for Meridian anyway
