On my request, Tushar did check out the manual specifically for this before returning the car. He mentioned there is nothing in the manual about either the WiFi or the 3G dongle symbols. So most likely those symbols are placeholders for future features.

No visible changes to the GC.
Also at least on the test vehicle that we had, the sun roof operated pretty smoothly. Again, I have never owned a vehicle with a sunroof, so no frame of reference to compare with.

Shivang, got the grill wrapped in matte black from 3M. Its a recent development. Haven't even updated my own thread about that yet. Will do it today.

JKs are a absolute NO. Lots of positive feedback about Bridgestones Dullers from owners. They are fairly silent and last long. They squeal a bit though. Apollos have been introduced on the XUV fairly recently. No real datapoints about how good they are. My guess is that they would be comparable with the Duellers.

Brilliant observation Ravi Sir! In all the excitement of the new App which controls the ACC as well, I missed the part about the missing temperature display. Thanks for pointing it out.

Will catch up with you Tejas sometime soon. There are quite a few friendly BHPians in Mulund/Thane area.

No idea. Didn't feel a difference. I am scheduled for a trip to the service center this week. Would check with my RM and let you know.

The older touch-screen is of a different size and resolution. A bigger problem would be the screen type itself, resistive vs. capacitive. The older touchscreen can not handle swipe, pinch etc.
In short, I doubt the chances of the old infotainment system getting a software upgrade that would give some of the new user interface changes and features to existing owners. Replacing the complete silver-box and touch-screen should be technically possible, but fitting the larger screen in the existing fascia would need physical modifications.
The newer version of MMI maps looks beautiful. Definitely on my wish-list.

I doubt the W4 would lose entertainment system. Even hatches that cost half that of XUV W4 come with decent setup. Would be a big mistake if this is true. Need to verify this.

Should be possible, I guess.

Mahindra does cut corners. Top end Xylo has auto up/down power windows for the driver & the co-driver, even the XUV doesn't have this.

Thanks Sheel !
Showing the pressure+temperature on the touch-screen display. Simple thing. Its available on the app and its available on the touch-screen in the Scorpio. Can't imagine M&M's logic behind not providing it in the XUV.
One touch-up/down. If there are power windows, then one touch up/down functionality should be a matter of just programming. No new hardware needed. So again can't imagine why give it on one window and not on the other or give just one-touch-down and not one-touch-up.
Vanity mirror light on passenger side. How much cost would be saved by removing that light and switch? I especially do not understand logic behind removing functionality/utility (e.g. the vanity mirror light) AND adding useless chrome. Anyways.
