Xuv 7xo Ax Variant recommendation
Hello everyone! 👋
I’m looking for some genuine advice from fellow Mahindra XUV 7XO owners, especially AX owners.
I recently bought the XUV 7XO AX, and I have a few questions:
1️⃣ Rear Camera
My AX variant doesn’t come with a rear camera. Does anyone know when the OEM Mahindra rear camera will be available in the market/showrooms, or how I can get one installed through the Mahindra network?
2️⃣ Versa Wheel Caps
I’m particularly interested in the AX5 Versa wheel caps rather than going for aftermarket alloys.
If anyone with an AX5 is planning to sell or upgrade their wheels and wants to sell the Versa wheel caps, please let me know. I’d be genuinely interested.
Alternatively, does anyone know how I can order the genuine Versa wheel caps separately from Mahindra?
I’m also considering the xuv 700 17-inch AX5 OEM alloy wheels as an alternative, but honestly, I prefer the Versa wheel-cap look.
3️⃣ OEM Modifications – Worth It?
I’ve seen quite a few videos from Jay Auto, Karol Bagh, etc., where they are doing OEM-style upgrades such as:
* Auto-folding ORVMs – around ₹9,500
* Rear wiper + rear defogger – around ₹14,000 including below -:
* Rear windshield replacement with genuine Mahindra glass
* Rear wiper motor installation
* Genuine Mahindra wiring/components
* Seat/leather upgrades
* Ambient lighting
* Rear camera and other AX3-type features
From what I understand, the rear windshield itself is replaced with the genuine Mahindra windshield, and the defogger, wiper motor, etc. are also genuine Mahindra parts.
The reason I specifically went for AX instead of AX3 was the price difference of roughly ₹1.5 lakh. A lot of the AX3 features can apparently be retrofitted for around ₹30–35k (including the camera), which is why I felt AX made more sense for me.
So I’m looking for some real-world advice from people who have already done these modifications:
👉 Are these modifications worth doing?
👉 Any issues with warranty, electronics, wiring or insurance later?
👉 Has anyone faced rattling/noise or water leakage after the rear windshield modification?
👉 Would you recommend doing everything together or only selected upgrades?
👉 And most importantly, is there anything I should NOT modify?
I’m specifically looking at genuine Mahindra/OEM parts, not cheap aftermarket alternatives.
Also, if anyone has Versa wheel caps available for sale, please DM me. I’m genuinely interested. 🙌
Would really appreciate advice from experienced 7XO owners, especially those who have already done these upgrades.
Thanks in advance! ❤️
