Fully agree with you on this. Every winter I face foggy ORVMs in the morning and is quite bothersome to physically wipe them continuously for initial 10-15 minutes along with the same battle for the rear screen, which has to be foregone since I cant be stopping in the middle of the road. This will be a very useful feature from November to mid-February and in the monsoons.

One more feature here will not really add costs to the car owner. My guess is Heating element may not be too expensive

I find this an extremely useful (& somewhat safety) feature and will be extra cautious to maintain it. Hopefully, its cost will not be high if ever a replacement is required.

Really great input! It seems ARAI came out with this rule only quite recently and it's a new rule.

Our own official review of the Marazzo contains the usual comparison chart among Marazzo and its competitors; the Marazzo is listed as 200 mm in it. But the same review separately mentions laden GC as 165 mm. I would take the 200mm figure and roll with it, if I were looking to buy a car. The 165 number (which matters the most) wouldn't even catch my eye...so it's a really great move by the ARAI.

Any criteria on which the vehicles should be loaded before measuring the laden GC?

Looks great with the decals. Seems Mahindra is going the MSIL way, after all the XUV300 does look similar to the Vitara Brezza. These decals are a good way to make the car look trendy!

If they had tested with the Nexon with the complete 110 horses, the ARAI number would have been not more than 14-15 which is unacceptable for the segment. I assume the weight of the baby XUV, along with the inherently inefficient turbo petrol and the absence of any eco mode has returned ARAI figures that are not worth printing or advertising out loud

Makes sense totally! I have two friends who own petrol KUV100 ( old and new) , they haven’t seen anything above 10kmpl!! I am aware of the mileage issues in early batches of KUV100, but am also pretty sure this baby xuv will have similar (if not worse) figures. Mahindra is yet to figure out their petrol engines.

Out of all companies, M&M always stood apart in the sense that Anand Mahindra himself appears to take interest in every detail, every launch and comes off as someone who is in sync with the pulse of the market. How does a feature like this make the cut then? Or is it part of some deal that Mahindra has with Ssangyong where they did not have to pay a premium for this? Otherwise either they could have cut cost and potential equipment failure later during the ownership period or could have substituted some other useful segment first feature. For instance along with the Auto-dimming IRVM, they could have provided Auto-dimming ORVMs too. Barring a handful of places, where anyways a small number of cars would sell, heated ORVMs would be useless. And I am sure when one requires a change due to some careless biker ramming yours on the road, it would cost a bomb because of this.

It's a simple lever to change day/night on a manual mirror. Why increase costs with an auto irvm? On the other hand a heated orvm is very much needed. Especially during fog, colder says and monsoon. The Tata Safari had these along with rear windshield heating from day one. Extremely useful feature.

XUV 3OO AMT spied undisguised!!
Report by Rushlane.

The AMT is just a stop gap arrangement. A conventional TC automatic will replace the AMT next year.

It says AMT would be available in all variants and priced 20-30k above the manual versions. I don't understand this stop gap strategy! Why would anyone buy the AMT version instead of waiting for the better TC unit next year? Even if they provide the TC unit, its probably going to increase the prices by ~1lakh which would make this the most expensive offering in this segment. And not to forget the impending launch of the Hyundai Styx which would hit this segment hard and even bite a sizable chunk off Brezza's monthly sales!

How many of the buyers are going to be so informed to know that a TC automatic is going to be made available after a year! And I would appreciate if Mahindra provides the automatic in the topend version, unlike till now. Those who want all the safety features and automatic in most cars have very few choices. My Ford Aspire has no top end automatic, like wise most other manufacturers provide automatic in variants just below the topend one.

Likewise I would like automatic in base versions also. There are many who have financial constraints to buy topend versions and there are who have no such issues. Let the consumer decide what they need, rather than companies forcing buyers to compromise.

I guess it boils down to what one is using currently and what one is used to. I have lived for the better half of my life in Delhi where we get more than enough cold and rains. Never felt the need for ORVM defogger or heating function. For the windows the AC defogger is good enough.

Whereas the automatic ORVM is a blessing. I have one in my 3 series and have come to appreciate it a lot since a majority of drivers on our roads prefer using high beams. The manual ORVM is annoying to me and I have never managed to get accustomed to using it since i feel that the focus of the mirror goes off.

This is regarding the 'Roof Wrap' option available as an accessory in the XUV3OO.

Is the Roof Wrap different from the Dual Tone colour option available from the manufacturer?
And can the Dual Tone treatment be done in the 'after market' sector?

2019 Mahindra XUV300:
Which variant should you buy? - Autocar

Which is the variant to buy?
The base W4 variant is well-equipped and offers great value for money. If you’re restricted by budget, this is the one to go for.

Our pick in the range though, is the W8, which is priced at a premium over the Nexon and Brezza top models (manuals) but is much better equipped in comparison, and maintains a fine balance between segment-unique features and value.

That depends on whether the dual tone from factory is done by paint or by vinyl wrap. The accessory seems to be similar to vinyl wrap which can be done after market.

The one from factory will be paint in all probabilities. As you rightly said, Vinyl wrap can be done outside. IMO it should be done with a professional like 3M for best results.
