Took delivery alongside three other SUVs - 2 in Midnight Black and 1 in Silver.

BHPian MobilisAdvento recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Dear All, Finally received my car yesterday. I have been part of many car buying experiences so far, but buying XUV700 has been a completely new experience for me. Staring from the waiting for next-gen XUV500 to be launched, rebranding as XUV700, pre-launch teasers, features, booking madness, multiple changes of delivery dates and what not - all these make the experience a completely different, interesting and memorable one. Team-BHP has been an integral part of this journey and I want to thank all members who have kept the spirit moving by posts, feedback, suggestions. Personally, I am extremely indebted and want to share my sincere thanks and gratitude to all.

Now regarding the delivery day experience - it was very smooth. I reached Sireesh Auto Silk Board at 2:30 PM with my wife and kids. The delivery happened by 4 PM. There was a total of 4 deliveries scheduled for XUV 700 - 2 Midnight Black, 1 Silver and my White one. The overall experience with Sireesh Auto has been great, they were also quite apologetic for the changes in dates, but I realized that it's not in their hand.

Post the delivery, I reached the petrol bunk to put fuel. There was very little fuel in the car and the warning message was coming again and again. Finally, I went to a nearby temple and did the Puja.

About driving experience, a total of 50 km driven so far and it was smooth and enjoyed it thoroughly. The first thing I ensured was to keep the ADAS off. I will try those posts to be a little more familiar with the car.

Panel gap next to the bonnet looks big and uneven. Was the bonnet not completely shut while taking this picture or is it because of the angle with which the picture was taken?
@owners of AWD, I saw someone on an FB group who had reported vibrations between 50 and 70 km/h. Did anyone else face the same?

Thanks for your observation. I visited the showroom and service centre regarding the bonnet panel gap. There is indeed a small gap that was not caught by my eyes. They told me that it's quite normal and not a problem. I also observed a few more cars with some panel gaps. If they put pressure on the bonnet to readjust, it can damage the headlamp. I also let it go considering a minor issue. Regarding vibration, did not feel anything yet in my small driving experience so far.
