Yes, my dealer applied labour charges . They also provided the bill for the same. It was under the name "Accessories fitment charges" on the bill. Had CGST+SGST extra added (18%)

TIA

This is normal. Once in a while the stocks come via train and it is usually unloaded at doddaballapura. The reading was even more in my case (my delivery is tomorrow, PDI done on last Saturday). On asking query, the guy in the yard was patient and shared more info on how the vehicles usually come in. Showed me the register showing info on which lot came by truck/train. 31 cars which came along with mine were all from train through Doddaballapura and had about 100kms on clock.

These would usually be reset according to him before delivery. The manufacturing month as well, if not older than 3 months (or crossing calendar year) should not be an issue.

I see this as two sides of the issue with PDI, one is that we get to assure ourselves of what we are buying. On the other side, we get caught up in some small niggles that might be commonplace or non-issues.

I hope you can get these issues cleared and get your car asap.

Congratulations

The dealer does charge extra money for accessories, not only that they will try to sell the costlier ones and less popular ones too, like they asked me to go for illuminated scuff plates and aluminum rear guard. But you will be surprised how flexible they are, like they were charging 1500 for the mudflaps that cost 650 on m2all website and finally we agreed on 800 with installation and gst. While the m2all website does say that the accessories must be installed by authorized dealers, you will have to put your bargaining hat on to strike a favorable deal. Try to float in other dealers, if any, in your area and other grey market options and the dealer would likely yield to your benefit. BTW I would strongly recommend that you install the genuine accessories from a genuine dealer only. First negotiate to a suitable amount, then round it up to a nearest lowest figure and the dealer would agree, as per my experience. Please be clear whether you need to install the side footsteps, as those are already charged exorbitantly by Mahindra itself and the dealer further inflates the cost by 2-3k which is not justifiable by any means. Besides, the side steps and bumper guards are screwed in the chassis/ frame of the vehicle which would imply serious collateral damage in case of any impact.

Got the same story from SA - mentioned it will come by train and may take 1-2 additional days to arrive as compared to before.

Great News . Hoping you get the delivery ASAP. I guess the car is also raring to meet you

Mahindra achieves its second 'Safer Choice' award this time for XUV 700.

In November 2021, the XUV 700 was rated with five stars for adult occupant protection and four stars for child occupant protection.

Mahindra voluntarily submitted the XUV 700 for further testing, with the model meeting both pedestrian protection and ESC requirements.

#Small query and bit of a rant

Can anyone confirm what is the latest software version of the infotainment system ? Mine shows 7.0.12. I got the first service done today and the advisor assured they updated the software but I can still see the same version as before. Mine has experienced a screen blackout once. I think I saw 8.0 something in a youtube video recently but I can't find it now.

The workshop also didn't pay attention to my request of installing SD card, stalling first and in the end completely refusing it. They also kept telling me that SD card installation and software updates should happen at the dealer. The dealer already has put the onus on workshops for these.

The experience was for Sec 37 Workshop in Gurgaon. Would not recommend it to any NCR owners. In fact would not recommend any of the Gurgaon service centers. They all seem clueless on the software side of things. Will look for other workshops in Noida/Delhi for better service, software and SD card installation service.

Thanks.

well, i too got my AX7L 1st service done recently, and my software version is still on the latest 07.* version. I asked them why they haven't updated the software to 08.* and they told me that they are updating it for vehicles that are having issues. They said the 08.* addresses certain issues and unless the user does not experience it, they won't update it. So incase you don't have any issues they will keep it on 07.*

btw, they also told me that incase the update is meant for all cars, they oen would get an email/sms or some communication from Mahindra to goto the service center to update it.

with respect to the SD card installation, the service center guys should do it as it involves opening the left portion near the dashboard. Don't think the dealer can do it unless the showroom has a service center . Please push it across with other service center in your area and they should be able to do it.

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.

That very same youtuber has owned xuv500 for 10 years and then he got the xuv700. Also his fortuner has met with accident and he is not ranting for fortuner. Also many xuv700 owners are stating about xuv700 suspension is making noises on pothole road then all must not be stating false information. Every car has its own flaws so person is accepting the same then what is the problem. That youtuber XUV700 developed brake failure and mahindra accepted that brake booster master cylinder is faulty then why do you think he is unnecessarily abusing his xuv700. He has shown all the facts in the video.

There was a logistic related issue with some part/ assembly for the AWD facility and the part is imported from Germany. But on 21-06 my AWD has been billed and Sandegov's car has also been billed recently.

I suggest you send a mail to kharga(dot)asha(at)mahindra(dot)com. You should get immediate response within a day or two.

[sbr_yash]

I have also booked XUV700 AWD L on 8th Oct. My CPD was 3rd May. But there’s no update from dealer on when will the car be billed and delivered.

I tried my source and he informed after checking in the plant that the AWDs are lined up for assembly since long but are waiting for components to be available at Chakan plant.

Hoping to get the delivery as soon as possible as I am loosing patience now after being waiting for 7 months initially and 2 months post my expected delivery date.

I got my AWD delivered on 1st April. Not sure if production is impacted recently for AWD's but this was the case from the beginning as AWD needs more chips than the other variants
