Here is what the owner manual states in regards to Diesel




Also unlike petrol I believe normal diesel will continue to be available due to requirement in Commercial sector unlike petrol.

The booking queue joke is out in open. Youtubers, people of influence getting deliveries while lesser mortals wait. Black marketing rates are between 80k to 1.5 lac depending on the variant. Plus one has to buy compulsary accessories worth more than 25k for early delivery. One guy bought accessories worth 1 lac for delivery a day before official start day. All this is out in public forums and Mahindra just does not care.

I for one, not paying a dime extra plus no forced accessories and insurance, will keep hawk eye on delivery schedule once updated to intermittently rattle the dealer to avoid foul play.

Just my guess, dealers are taking undue advantage of late upload of delivery schedule, rightful owners of early bookings are being shortchanged and they won't even know that.

Velusawamy Sir from Mahindra mentioned using coatings on metal surfaces to block frequencies within the audible range of the human ear.

In today’s podcast on Autocar, Hormazd Sorabjee noted that even Toyota doesn’t prioritize NVH, focusing more on quality and long-lasting, "Workhorse" vehicles.

I have to say, I’m proud of Mahindra—they’ve beaten even Toyota by providing the best care to customers in NVH performance.

Mahindra Thar Roxx: Lowest noise levels overall, especially between 60 and 100 km/h, with an average of 63.6 dB.

Maruti Vitara: The noisiest among the models in the 60-100 km/h range, averaging 71.7 dB.

It’s surprising that even major brands like Hyundai and Kia, "the NVH masters", performed worse than Citroen and Honda Elevate, which I initially thought would rank lower before this test.

Saw this video and was wondering, how does someone do such kind of stuff on a brand new car. I'd hate to do this in my 11 yr old Wagon R, let alone a brand new car.

I guess the quarter glass now looks a bit better.

Anyone got a call for AX7L 4WD? My dealer in Gurgaon is tight lipped and is not providing any response.

I completely concur with you. I am also not going to pay for bloated dealer insurance amount and high price for accessory that I do not need. I would rather keep that ₹1 lakh with me, invest it, get some gains on the amount and use that amount to get the car with lesser niggles more than 1 year down the line.

She has done this to lot of cars. I don't like to see new car stripped out just to get so much aftermarket modifications. These cars might be sold couple of months down the line to some unsuspecting customer and some years down the line the car would be full of rattles, electronic issues and void warranty due to such modifications.

The actual quarter glass did not look that bad to me when I looked at Thar Roxx in person. The OEM quarter glass design might grow on you eventually.

The dealer here in Bangalore (Anant cars) is saying they haven't received any updates on the AX7L Diesel models, especially 4WDs. Not sure how much you can trust them though.

what is process to cancel the booking ? Did you tell the dealer or call customer care or is there some online option to do the same?

Anyone else got a text message from their Mahindra Dealer informing that the prices will go up significantly effective 01 November 2024? They are saying that the current 'promotional scheme will be discontinued' the same day.

I cancelled online. The cancellation option is available in vehicle booking section. It’s very easy and straightforward. It will ask for the reason of cancellation and that’s it. I did get email of cancellation as well. I’m not sure how long will it take for refund. I’ll wait for a week and then follow up. Currently the status says ‘cancellation initiated’.

PS : Thar 2D was a heart over head decision while Roxx cancellation was exactly opposite. Maybe I got wiser

Her entire channel is about buying base model of the cars, then making 5-7 videos about upgrading the car to the top model, and then selling the car. People people seems to like watching videos of car upgrades so she gets paid by YouTube, collaborations, and possibly even a cut from the people she recommends in the video. She is more of a Karol Bagh influencer than an auto influencer.

To be honest, it makes no sense for the company to raise price when the deliveries have just started. If they do so, all the best to those 1.76 lac bookings.

It's possibly to do with ongoing discounts on all other models which were always stated to be valid till October.

[ashesh]

So far Mahindra support was saying "latest by 25th Oct'24". This is the first X post where they have mentioned between 25th to 30th October 2024.

In the meantime many dealers are having a field day manipulating customers.

[me&mymachine]

Can the dealer sell my car that is allotted to me to someone else without informing me and then tell me that my car is not allotted yet and put me in the queue again?
