Why don't you try the Honda Elevate MT SV, which will be in the ballpark of 13.5 lakh?

@ashkamath: All you need to do is check if the vehicle is E20 fuel compatible. Turbo petrol or NA, shouldn’t matter.
Hyundai’s Turbo petrol at-least on the Verna is E20 fuel compatible curiously this isn’t mentioned in the Verna brochure. I asked the dealer and also saw it in some websites, same is the case for Exter’s Turbo variant (Knight edition). So are VAG 2.0’s 1.0L TSI engines. Their 1.5 L TSI engines are expected to get E20 compliance by Q4 2024.
Does 3XO’s brochure mention whether it is E20 fuel compatible ? You should ask your dealer this question or raise it with Mahindra.

That's a good suggestion. Will look into it. Thanks

Took delivery of my Dune Beige AX5L variant. Added some accessories and upgraded tires from the stock CEAT 205/65/R16 to Continental Ultracontact6 215/60/R16. A significant improvement in steering feel and much lower road noise observed till now. Will get to know mileage numbers in a few days.

Waiting for OEM fog lamps - no stock at the dealer right now. I generally found the OEM accessories to be reasonably priced.

Question for all: is it advisable to add a black ppf on the roof even though the RC will not mention dual tone?

Congratulations. The car in Dune Beige colour looks simply amazing.

Contrasting black ppf on roof will enhance the look of the car. I don't think it's an issue with police/RTO as they don't look so deep. Atleast I haven't heard anyone being questioned or booked for that "so called illegal modification" of adding a black ppf on the roof. So, go ahead and it done

Drive safe and enjoy your car.
