We got home XUV700 MX Petrol in the first week of April. I love the bang for the buck spent on this car. Here's a micro review below:
Let's talk about the mileage first:
I keep track of petrol and odometer readings for all my vehicles on a google spreadsheet, so the reading is quite accurate. I use the tank full to tank full method and have consistently got exactly the same mileage figure for the five tank fulls that I have done to date. Summary below:
Overall: 10.74 km/l (Total distance/petrol-litres)
My daily commute of 110 km is 33% on expressways at a constant 100 km/h, 40% on low traffic roads with speeds of 40 - 80 km/h, and balance 33% on narrow roads with intermittent traffic and speed ranging from 0- 40 km/h
The gear lever occasionally gives hard vibrations while shifting as others have mentioned.
The acceleration is very sweet, especially compared to the automatic (Diesel) Tata Harrier that I had bought along with this car.
The whole package is quite good but the things that I miss most are apple car play & navigation. I would be instaling alloy wheels in a week or so. Already installed rearview camera, sidestep, rearguard, and scuff plate logo light from the showroom.
The rear camera shows grainy video on the screen which is a limitation of either camera or display resolution. Also, the reverse navigation lines do not move with the steering turn and keep straight. Other accessories are good. I highly recommend buying the car cover from Mahindra as it has a perfect fitting. I also got 7D mats from elsewhere.
Currently, I am getting TPU & paint protection film done on the car. I got that done on my Harrier last month and feel that is a good investment for preserving the paint.
That's all for now, hopefully, I will find time to write a detailed review in the near future.
