What do you think will be range drop after 6-7 yrs

The modern batteries are good and companies have various promises to make.

However, what will be the expected range drop after using it for 6-7 yrs? Also companies mention charging one AC after every 4-5 DC or else warranty is voided.
Also, warranty is voided if there is any physical damage on battery.

So there are various caveat in favor of companies to reject warrant claims. So if range drops by 25-30%, ideally you can’t do anything if company rejects warranty.

Want to know all your thoughts regarding range drop or any personal experience in the recent 2-3 yrs?

People buying expensive cars have no idea about dpf

I was recently confused about petrol/diesel for 7xo and talked to a few ppl regarding this.

One has AX7L D AT, one has AX7T D AT, and one has booked AX7T D AT. None of them had idea about what is dpf and what could be the issues. Like no idea at all!

That left me thinking how ppl are making such big decisions without any research.

What’s the real world mileage for Safari Petrol AT? Shall I switch from 7xo to safari?

I have booked 7xo D AT and thinking of shifting to petrol due to dpf concerns. 7xo petrol auto mileage will burn my pockets so thinking of Safari.

What are your thoughts?

Update: adding my usage pattern for clarity

10-11k kms per year | 50-50 city and highway split.

Mostly city trips include small trips of 5km one way in light traffic like going to office (which is pretty close), grocery shopping, etc. For night city drives usually 6-8 km one way. It is a tier 2 city so not heavy traffic.

Mostly when going on highways trips range from 100-500 kms one way, but not too frequent.

Also, car stays ON ideal at times while in city to use AC.

Booked 7XO D AT - Need advice regarding fuel

My usage: 10-11k kms per year | 50-50 city and highway split.

Mostly city trips include small trips of 5km one way in light traffic like going to office (which is pretty close), grocery shopping, etc. For night city drives usually 6-8 km one way. It is a tier 2 city so not heavy traffic.

Mostly when going on highways trips range from 100-500 kms one way, but not too frequent.

Also, car stays ON ideal at times while in city to use AC.

Not a car expert like you all so any advice is welcome.

I understood that my driving might require me to take it to highway every 7-10 days and drive at 70kmph on 4th gear for regeneration.

Now my questions:

  1. After watching some videos of xuv 700 diesel cars, i feel that initially this pattern will work but then i will get regen warning every 100-200 kms as dpf will start getting clogged and won’t completely clean up. Is this correct?

  2. Whats the recent city and highway mileage for petrol auto you have observed? I am worried e
    -two-zero will decrease my mileage a lot. Also e-two-five thing is concerning.

I understand petrol might not do justice to this powerful engine but I am okay with adjusting power if i get peace of mind.

I booked 7xo ax7 D At last week.

Downloaded Mahindra for you app and the status shows NA. Is this normal?

For those who already received car, how does the status progress further?

My dealer said you will be notified by an email from the company and they have no idea for now.

Diesel vs Manual. Confused and need your advice.

Edit: Diesel vs Petrol Confusion |

I am finalizing 7XO AX7 variant (preferring auto). Loved the car.

Now, my usage is about 10-12k km a year with about 40% city ride and 60% highway.

With petrol, I am worried about the average + e20/25 thing.

With diesel, I know, there’s DPF issue for short city rides which I believe a highway ride for 30-40 mins at 70 kmph every 7-10 days will do the regeneration well (as suggested by a few ppl).

I also saw there’s DPF warning + park regeneration feature in 7XO which might be helpful in my usecase.

Is there anything that I am missing out? What’s your suggestion for my usecase?

PS: I’m not a car expert like most of you. All suggestions are welcome.
