I could fit a 1 litre Bisleri bottle on both front door bottle holders.

I took delivery of AX7L on 01/02/2025. Received a message from Mahindra on 05/02/2025 stating that they are awaiting Apple CarPlay certification, and they appreciate your patience.

Have you tried cutting the bumper slightly? That helped ensure it doesn't touch at full lock. Also, do you have any other issues regarding stability or vibrations? I'm worried about warranty and insurance with these 32mm spacers.

I initially used 10mm spacers when the alloys were initially installed. I had issues with vibrations over 100kph and it was only resolved once the 32mm Proman spacers were installed.

What mileage are you getting?

I am getting around 6kpL in my P AT in Bangalore city driving and around 9 during highway runs.

CarPlay is working on AX variants since launch , I am talking about the MX variants.

You don't get any vibrations now? How are you managing with Blore traffic? I find it a nightmare to manage with the wider tyres. You intend to continue using this set up?

Same here, around 6.5 city is the max one can expect.

Carplay is not working AX7L variant for sure. We have it and only Android Auto works. At the time of delivery we were asked to sign an acknowledgement that Carplay would be available only from Q1 2025.

I find the cup holders to be placed quite awkwardly to be honest. Any cup or bottle kept in them would interfere with the hand brake and also with reaching the gear lever. Might be specific to me but the extenders would not be very useful.

Is it the normal cylindrical shaped bottle? I could fit the square "Clear" branded bottle but it was a tight fit and also don't think these PET bottles are safe to be used for extended period especially considering the heat in the car when parked.

You don't get any vibrations now at high speeds? I commute to work often, so I'm not sure, with Bangalore traffic and the cop situation here, if this will be an issue.

Do you intend to continue using this setup? I think 22mm could be an option, but I don't think it'll change it much. I'm still contemplating what to do.

Could you share the online location of link for cancellation. I couldn't find it even after logging in.

If I were in your shoes, my bigger worry would be DPF issues in Diesel. If your running is low, better to stick to petrol in spite of low Mileage! It's a SUV Behemoth, please keep your expectations very very low.

After login, go to My Profile > Vehicle Booking > Select your vehicle > Press 3 vertical dotes and you will see the cancel booking option.

Adding a link so you can land directly to Vehicle Bookings section after login;

The process is pretty straight forward, I hope this helps.

I got delivery of my AX7L D AT RWD last week. Serial number is 26,719 and MY25.

Carplay is not active.

No pending software updates either. So I dont think the update to unlock Carplay like they did for the XUV700, is out yet.

Try the built-in navigation- Mappls by MapMyIndia, showed me better routes & more accurate timing than Gmaps. Music can be piped by bluetooth till CarPlay becomes available.

Any audiophiles here who have tuned the 9-speaker JBL for a better sound?
