Mahindra XUV 3XO: Annoying issues observed after 15 days of driving

These are my observations, and while they may not be major issues, they are certainly annoying.

BHPian srivatchsan recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

After 15 days of driving in congested city traffic and the highways, I have a list of not-so-great things.

Mileage shows a constant 8KM/L in the city; sometimes 12 is confusing.

On the highways, once I got 19.3 km/L

I had a major issue with the boot not closing properly, and SVC got that fixed promptly.

Now I have another set of observations like

• The central lock works intermittently, not consistently bothering and annoying, especially when someone is stuck outside the car trying to get in
• The Adrenox system sometimes takes 1 minute to start. It is frustrating when you want to take immediate reverse, and the camera doesn't work at all
• Inconsistent braking and spongy behavior, sometimes super sharp, cannot judge and use it at times dangerous
• Zap more has overthrust in city traffic. One has to be very careful, or else you are sure to hit the next one in bumper-to-bumper traffic

These are my observations, and while they may not be major issues, they are certainly annoying. I hope Mahindra will take note of these and work on improving them. I still love the car and its value for money, but these issues must be addressed.

In addition, Apple Carplay doesn't work, which greatly impacts our company. I don't care if Alexa works, but APPLE CAR PLAY is the MUST.

One last observation: this may be subjective for a person - a person who uses the vehicle says he gets sciatic nerve compression and pain due to the driver seat bolsters being so hard, and he is looking for help to flatten it by having some seat covers, etc but the SVC will object for everything saying Airbag may get affected, etc. He is in a fix. (If anyone has any better ideas, please share them here. The impact he is like having a wallet in the back pocket and driving kind of it puts them off)
