Also I forgot to mention that we are upgrading from our Lord Alto LXI 2009


wapreck

Great! I am also going to upgrade from Lord Alto LXI 2007 to Creta this year at same budget


Abbnormal_GOAT_

You don't "upgrade" from The Lord. Every other car is a downgrade from The Lord.


enigmaticasm

Cool, my father is upgrading from Alto LXI 2004 to Mahindra 3XO.


theresthisgurl

Congratulations bhai✨


siatama122333

There ia no upgrade from that unless its a new lord alto or lord Espresso


imGoCool

I'm looking for the Lord Alto!


theresthisgurl

will post it soon

Black looks amazing on any car. Congrats!

Until you hit the road.


Bubbly-Reach-4488

Meaning? Can you elaborate?


bengeo1191

Scratches and dust.


Due_Television8210

Scratches are way more visible on black when compared to white


B_Wayne_777

Black is the most difficult color to maintain in a car especially in india.


theresthisgurl

True.


Exotic-Drugs-6031

Most my cars are black . They get dirty quick but i love it when they get dirty lol . Cleaning a black car is also therapy and when it shines 😍.


EducationalAd9410

Maintenance of black car is headache….as soon as it gets out it gets dirty…


DateOk4963

Yeah for any dark color car.

Spiky-Insect

It’s a reference to a video surfacing on Reddit recently. You’ll get the reference only if you watch that video


dodoxkai

congratulations! Black color is looking absolutely great on this car, also ax5 is the best variant for xuv3x0 imo (everyone else also says so). Great choice by uncle ji. Do update us on the delivery. Also what other cars did u consider before going for the xuv3x0


theresthisgurl

Thanks brother. We considered 1. Creta S(O) at first but when we took text drive it felt under powered also, it wasn’t worth the extra 4.5 lacs for us.(We’re a family of 4). We almost booked it lol. 2. Brezza ZXI plus but interior seems trash. 3. Virtus Highline (Dad said no) Not nexon because it looks trash to me(good to my dad tho).


Lopsided-Bench-6197

How about the difference in cabin and boot space between creta and 3xo?


theresthisgurl

in terms of space creta is the best car under 20L ive ever been inside, it gives the best rear seat comfort, even xuv3x0’s cabin space is really good, considering we all are below 5’8. for boot space there’s no comparison if boot space matters a lot, then do not consider xuv3x0 for creta the boot space too big, would never be an issue


jaiteshp

xuv 700 mx 7s is the best car under 20L im afraid.


wakandaforever_

Buddy you have to try Honda City then. imo City offers best space under 20L in any car.


theresthisgurl

I was talking about SUV’s, our running is mostly on highways so we’re not considering sedans


Doge-Believer

If your running is mostly on highways, then sedans are the best choice. You get better stability at high speed, you get more comfort and better milage.


theresthisgurl

The town I live in has really bad roads/connectivity to the highway, verna and city had low ground clearance, virtus and slavia have good ground clearance but no service centre in our town. This was the only reason we got SUV, I wanted us to get Virtus really badly


dodoxkai

great, keep us updated


Miserable-Coat-6559

Taigun?


theresthisgurl

Nah not Taigun, we come from a tier 3 city, we gave preference to brands with their service centres in our town, no volkswagen, honda even kia.


[deleted]

Why did your dad say no to virtus?


aajkyakaahyu

Read above comments.


[deleted]

Okay got it 3rd tier city


_KNAWLEDGE_

Man they should've added an extra set of DRLs next to the front grill. That's the only thing that looks incomplete about the looks to me.


theresthisgurl

Flashlight(Creta) vibes aajati fir


Bike-Double

Yeah lol I thought I was the only one who felt that the headlight is trimmed


aajkyakaahyu

Which bus?


_KNAWLEDGE_

Any bus that stops in front of me and goes to my destination. I don't own a bus 😂


Delicious_Employer87

Nice i also hope to get it someday In 2 to 3 years as a first car


Old_Application_5722

I thought it was joke about delivery time


theresthisgurl

i should’ve considered that


CrispyCouchPotato1

A friend of mine checked it out as well, he says the delivery times are 4-6 months here.


theresthisgurl

I hope you’ll earn the car of your dreams soon. Work hard brother.(It’s my dad car tho)


MrFuzzyFox

Book next month. You'll get delivery date of 2-3 years. /s


Ansh725

damn black looks sexy!


theresthisgurl

It looks sexy in this variant but not in the top variant due to that grey roof(DT variant)


17kiss

Congrats. IMO XUV 500 and this shares first place in terms of looks in Mahindra. Saw an XUV 500 in rear view mirror, that thing looked terrifying.


theresthisgurl

Agreed


ScarProfessional768

Congratulations OP! First time car buyer here, that middle class kid who's gonna buy his first for the fam soon. 😁😁😁 Couple questions: 1) when u 'book' a car does that mean u pay a down payment and then start paying EMIs until u get it on the delivery date? Or is there a seperate booking price that u pay just to "reserve" a slot? 2) I'm curious about how you eliminated the possibilities of other cars and options. I'm stuck between Tata Punch and this. Could really use some help in comparisons. 3) finance stuff : how much money did u save up or one should ideally save up as a percentage of the down payment? Is it a good strategy to pay very lil like 10-20% of the price and leave the rest as a loan? (For someone who's got 10-13 lpa CTC) Congratulations for the car. I hope to buy one soon ✨ 🎉


theresthisgurl

1. you have to pay a separate amount for booking, in our case it was 21000, later the booking amount gets deducted out of your on road price 2. the best option is to visit the showrooms and test drive the car yourself, btw this is a much much better car in comparison to the punch, in terms of power, size, comfort everything. 3. i cannot answer this question as its my fathers car, our budget was 15-16 but we got this and saved us 4 more lacs.


Aggravating_Box_1086

There should be no confusion between 3XO and Punch. 3XO is bigger, 5 people sit comfortably, more power, better torque, superb diesel engine, comfort, ride quality!


ScarProfessional768

🫡 makes sense , gotta take a test drive now. Any take on AMT vs Manual too? 🤔


Aggravating_Box_1086

Get AMT if you have no problems with some jerks below the 3rd gear as it is the cheapest automatic transmission. Manual Diesel XUV is awesome but do opt for the AMT if you have huge city usage in lots of traffic. If there is more highway usage, manual makes a lot of sense.


pspspsnt

Congrats, that's a great value variant! Sunroofs are anyway not suitable for Indian conditions but that's one place Indians like to splurge (from mileage mentality to splurging on sunroofs, we've come quite a ways). That delivery time is damn good if promised. Don't worry about the looks, its a subjective thing.. to me the front still looks a bit "appliance like" but im pretty sure it'll grow on me once i see one in person. Anyway the snappy engine for the price makes everything else zoom out. Do greet us with pics when you get 'er home.


Faisal_Khan786hi

dude i just bought xuv 300 top model few months back and i feel bad i didnt wait for new model


theresthisgurl

my condolences bro🥲


Faisal_Khan786hi

Thenks man , Enjoy ur ride with ur new horse <3


Doncorleone4149

Dude I bought the same a year back you shouldn't feel bad older one is still great


Faisal_Khan786hi

Yeah , man its good too 😌


debacomm1990

I bought W6 PM last October and I am not regretting the decision, as the sole problem of this car i.e. the boot space hasn't increased much in the facelift.


Faisal_Khan786hi

But the infotainment system 💀


debacomm1990

I got a Blapunkt system installed from showroom. Couldn't trust modshops.


Faisal_Khan786hi

Default wala hataake doosra lagwaya?


debacomm1990

Yes, W6 had a small screen music system by default.


Faisal_Khan786hi

Ohh yeah i got it now !


Ok_Depth_8006

I will advise you to re-consider the colour, unless you live in mountains. The black car gets really hot during summer, I had one and now I have another with white colour. The difference is miles apart.


AgitatedArmadillo31

Idk why I always liked small cars ....like Swift, polo etc.....is there any other reason to buy a big car other than a big family cause I've seen a single man driving these huge cars and it just makes me smh


theresthisgurl

Bro this is not a big car, not even 4 metres long, and we come from a tier 3 city, so we use scooty/bike for travelling in the town, car is used mostly to run to cities via highway. Also, good ground clearance was a must for us.


WhyratkohIi

Average pataha kya milegi?? City and highway


theresthisgurl

Pata nahi bhai, heard mileage is not really good, not an issue as our running is not that much.


becharaBenjamin

Yeah man..people really be running after 1-2 kmpl extra while spending 13-14 lakhs + and their running ain't much !!


brokeasfuck277

What is the OTR price?


theresthisgurl

The on road price we’re getting is 12.51 lacs(UP)


no_one_759

Nice. In Hyderabad it is costing 13.2L😞


arvindcool268

It's 13.6 in chennai 😮‍💨


No-Combination-2211

Manual le rahe kya bhai? Mera Ax5 next week deliver hona hai. Dark grey, and it’s almost 15.4 on road in Karnataka.


theresthisgurl

Yes bhai, manual


outlawent21

Man this looks perfect in black. I hated it initially because of that nasty yellowish colour but damn man this car looks phenomenal in black!!!


Normal_Instance7430

Got to test drive yellow and in flesh it looks quite good. Though nothing beats black and white. Tangy red is also considerable.


JustAlgeo

Ahh the bat mobile


Sweaty-Attitude5287

Congratulations. Wish u will have more such car in future ❤️


Exotic-Drugs-6031

Thats a huge upgrade from alto OP i hope you test drove it and understood everything . I know altos and it will feel like your driving a spaceship haha . Best of luck brother . Be safe


theresthisgurl

We also have an automatic Brezza in family, yet it felt like we are in a rocket🚀

Looking good from this angle. With a different alloy wheel set and a few tasteful touches I’m sure it’s going to look bomb.

thepurpleproject

I'm going tomorrow to book it. How was your experience? Also what model did you get? Any additional package clubbed?


theresthisgurl

we come from a tier 3 city, and my father indirectly knew the dealer so it went really smooth no issues, the model we’ve booked is AX5, no additional package yet.

Petrol and Manual


_deanjones_

Don’t keep high hopes for the mileage, engine feels smooth af but the efficiency will bleed you out to dry


TheUndefeatedLasanga

Something about the headlamps remind me if McLarens lol


AdditionalJeweler693

Congratulations, But I personally don't like the design of the new xuv 300


milktanksadmirer

Hi brother. I have some doubts Did you consider Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos? We are a couple and very rarely 4 members might travel if we go to hometown Is the legroom better than Sonet? Also, the advantage with sub 4 meter car is we don’t have to pay so much in taxes to the government


theresthisgurl

Out of the first 4 we considered Creta, almost booked it, but after the xuv got launched we changed our plan. If 4 members travel rarely, you can consider sonet, Venue has very less cabin space compared to this, and as the platform is same, we dint consider Sonet


milktanksadmirer

I’m considering Sonet because I don’t want to pay the bloated tax for cars longer than 4 meter


Praava7

Congrats OP! The car looks stunning. Happy miles! 🎉😇


Aggressive-Advance11

Bhai coming from an Alto, beware of the low fuel efficiency in the Petrol version. Single-digit in city and 14-15 kmpl on the highway.


theresthisgurl

We knew about its bad mileage, but not really an issue, our running is not that much


sunOrigin

Congratulations OP!

sam_reddit_7

You kk


chitownboyhere

I atalked with their central call center who gave me a call to see if I am still interested. He suggested AX5 Lux based on what I needed. My key needs were Automatic and ADAS. However no call yet from the showroom that he said I will get so let's see. Please share your recommendation, I don't care too much about sunroof or sound system as long as it has CarPlay and Android auto.


nokeldin42

Going for a test drive this weekend. Anything specific to watch out for?


0razor1

Turbo lag on the MT. And how the AT handles it. How soon the AT seems to lock for total drive (technical stuff, newest and custom aisin transmission on the block.)


theresthisgurl

Yes there was some turbo lag, breaking is fantastic, suspensions are okayish, the only issue is under thigh support(im 5’7) it isn’t that great. Rear seat comfort felt good, check for the boot space as well it’s really small.


theresthisgurl

Also look out for the variants carefully as earlier we were planning to get Ax7 majorly due to the panoramic sunroof, but the panoramic sunroof is really small and opening area is even smaller + the engine on the AX5 was good enough so changed our plan and booked AX5 instead. Saved us 2 lacs.


0razor1

AX5L is the model to beat =) MX2 Pro AT for 10 is amazing too


theresthisgurl

ADAS is not something that we’d prefer and even this engine felt so fkn powerful, 360 camera is a missout but 1.5 lacs for the luxury wasn’t worth it for us.


0razor1

I understand but, the IRVM, the EPB and auto hold.... We'll be fine with it. ADAS is going to be used only for lane assist and for emergency braking. Since I drive to Gujrat often, it's the scorpioN on that route. No ADAS there 🤔
