Lajpat Nagar, new delhi.
Bass quality is good for me.
They come in different sizes 8",10",12" so i guess you can get 2 x 8" sub in the space between 3rd row and boot door trim.

Thats a huge list... Why were all these critical components replaced?

Any issues? Or any faults diagnosed? Or just proactive measures by the company?

There seems to be major replacements done. What's the reason given by the Company people for such replacements done?

All parts have not been replaced together,

Front Left shocker was replaced in 2nd month of ownership.

Right side headlamp was replaced last week i.e 5th month.

EGR valve 4th month.

Roof mounted stop lamp 1st month.

Fuel Pump Assembly 4th month.

Infotainment System silver box last week i.e 5th month, among these fuel pump assembly was replaced as a precautionary measure ,actually there was no need, car was giving some starting problem and MASC people were clueless so they replaced fuel pump assembly.

Headlamp was replaced because led colour changed from bluite to red,according to my r.m this is very common problem,especially right side.

EGR valve was replaced because it was making vaccum noise after turning off the car

One of the leds of stop lamp was not working so replaced.

Infotainment used to turn off by itself so replaced.

Shocker was making abnormal sound so, replaced.

Parts which have failed so far none of them was made by mahindra problem is at supplier level they should tighten up their quality control.

Even though it's a supplier problem mahindra is accountable for it right ?. Hope mahindra at least in next batch make this critical improvements because once the vehicle gets a name "niggle" attached with it it becomes hard ro wipe the image CAse in point safari .

These are just normal issues, which can be Solved at dealership.

The alignment can be done.

Where did you buy the XUV?

IG, Sireesh OR SKS?

And the acceleration you are feeling is the low end torque of mHawk engines.

You have added it to the issue list.

Visit the dealership and revert soon.

Did you buy the W6? Did you add alloys?

Where you driving petrol cars before this?

Its normal in good diesel engines. They have so much low end torque that you dont need to use the throttle in dense traffic!
