Initial thoughts & cosmetic updates to my Mahindra XUV700 MX

After reading the manual, I understood that the gearbox would be rough for initial few hundred kilometers.

Received my XUV700 MX diesel yesterday. Delivery was smooth and quick, Thank you PPS Mahindra, Indiranagar. I will write a detailed post later with all the details.

After driving 10 kms yesterday, my quick observation with the XUV700 so far is that cabin noise is loud and gearbox is rough when compared with my 9 year old Honda City. After reading the manual, I understood that the gearbox would be rough for initial few hundred kilometers. I hope it gets better after first service. For cabin noise, I might be wrongly comparing it with a petrol engine. Nevertheless, I honestly liked the vehicle and it is the perfect upgrade for me.

I didn't get any accessories installed by dealer (and they never forced me as well). I ordered few accessories online and planning to get them installed myself.

I received chrome beading and wheel covers today. Following are before and after pictures of my ride. Installation was super easy:
