Hell No! Its not typing error - if you are from Delhi/NCR, head out to Karol Bagh, hunt around, and you'll easily find carriers ranging from 1200rs to 4000rs. The costliest one would be all aluminium based ... the one I got was a semi-aluminium.

Dealer said atleast in Bangalore its usually the case where RC/Smart Card takes a while and the registration number too takes some days in the beginning.





So I hope its still the same.

Thanks.
However in my case i am crossing state border, maharashtra to karnataka, hence a bit worried. Within the state I have been driving with ease

That's really very very affordable. I think its totally worth it. Can you post few pictures of it. Thanks in advance.

How many horns does the XUV have?
Today suddenly my horns died a slow death going from loud to low volume to fully dead. This is after the vehicle came from 30K service yesterday

As for carriers, if you have time and money, try rouf rails as they have a flush / body contoured carrier for XUV even though their innova model is more famous.

Two. Remember some member posting pic of horn cable snapping off long back. You can check the horns located behind the grill with a help of a torchlight. I guess it is due to water seepage or loose connection.

Balpreet - Have Crossed the Karnataka Border from Maharashtra Side a Zillion Times across various entry points and never been asked for Papers. Its Only if you are driving a MUV that there is a chance that you may be stopped. Secondly If you have the Original Insurance Policy Document (Not the Cover Note) , The RTO Tax Paid Receipt and the Original Tax Invoice of the Vehicle issued by the dealer then you do not need to worry at all. I also got delivery of XUV W6 in the third week of Nov-14 and Plan to do a Road trip to HAMPI in Karnataka during Dec-14 Last week. Even if i do not get the RC Book / Card by then i will still go ahead. DRIVE SAFE and Enjoy the Ride on XUV Especially on the GQ Highway

Thanks Swift Express You eased off my worries.. I still have hopes that I may get the smart card in next 10 days before my trip..

Awesome review. After seeing images it seems Mahindra has not come out of his jeep culture.

Totally depends on your requirement. I opted for w6 and its a VFM for me. Pretty happy with all it's features.

Looking at the price, and wish I had deeper pockets, I would have loved to go with top version - W8.

Else, get a W6, get aftermarket alloys + infotainment system installed.

You will need to invest in alloys and seat covers for sure. I got speed rims installed from service centre itself and seat covers aftermarket. Seat covers installation in XUV takes at least 5 hours and wont match the fit and finish of company fitted one.

What kind of infotainment you looking for, because never heard anyone changing factory fitted one.

Hi! Friends, need help of XUV5oo owners. I am not able to find where Chassis /VIN number is located in XUV5oo. I need to trace it on paper for getting the NOC from RTO for transfer of Vehicle from one state to another.

I did find a small plate after opening the Driver side door but RTO agents says it should be some where on body an dthe one traced from plate won't work. Tried locating it into engine compartment but no luck.

I even called Mahindra toll free and they gave me the service manager number. The service manager told that it should be near Battery in engine compartment but I could not locate that.

So requesting, if you guys know and traced that on paper for any RTO work please enlighten me.

thanks

roby

Hello,

The "Black Beauty" has finally arrived . Got the pics but some issue uploading them here. Will upload some pics later.

Totally loving the car so far. The feel behind the wheel is fabulous. I mean coming off a Hatchback this feels like driving sitting on a mountain. Amazing view of the road ahead.

Not had the time to drive it around as yet so will figure out bigger things sometime later. As of now am keen to get the right accessories fitted in - Roof Carrier, Front and Rear Guard, Side Foot, Seat Covers etc.
