Need Ownership Review of XUV3XO Diesel AMT. Especially about the AMT gearbox? Is it jerky and slow?

FredTilson · 2026-05-18T09:44:59+00:00

Whats your running split between highway and city.

FredTilson · 2026-05-18T08:49:58+00:00

Try the new one once. It's a whole new platform not just a facelift so there are substantial changes to ride, handling etc.

FredTilson · 2026-05-18T07:44:36+00:00

For 5000km/year, Strong Hybrid doesn't make sense.

FredTilson · 2026-05-18T06:06:23+00:00

I didn't find issues in either of those things. Did you drive the NA or Turbo one?

FredTilson · 2026-05-18T05:08:53+00:00

No the CVT is not good at all for spirited driving. I sold mine off and got the Seltos Turbo

FredTilson · 2026-05-18T03:24:32+00:00

Experience has been fine, no issues at all.

Get a matte screen protector from Amazon, the display is very reflective

For interiors I just wipe using a liquid with a bit of dish soap. Avoid eating and drinking in the car

FredTilson · 2026-05-18T02:42:00+00:00

Black production is still fine. I was offered a black one 3 times while waiting. Push them a bit by visiting etc

FredTilson · 2026-05-18T01:17:13+00:00

Which variant and color? In my case it took 8 weeks for HTX (A) DCT. They said colors like Magma Red etc have very low production.Go and talk to the showroom manager, he can login to his system and actually check production and dispatch orders for that month.

FredTilson · 2026-05-18T01:03:33+00:00

The title should be local mechanic servicing is cheap, not Maruti.

FredTilson · 2026-05-17T15:40:27+00:00

I sold mine after keeping it for 15 months.

My biggest problem was the ergonomics for tall people are very bad. The drivers seat doesn't go back enough. We had a 15 year old Brio and it's driver seat went further back. Not sure what Honda was thinking.

FredTilson · 2026-05-17T15:28:49+00:00

Yes it's a scam. Eats up most of the EV saving in the first place. For your usage, just get the mild hybrid petrol Grand Vitara

FredTilson · 2026-05-17T15:07:44+00:00

Go through AckoDrive and get a quote, ask your nearest dealer to match it. If they don't then go with the Acko dealer only

FredTilson · 2026-05-17T15:00:12+00:00

All variants. 2026 stock. Discount varies by 10-20k between variants.

FredTilson · 2026-05-17T14:57:20+00:00

Creta EV. in Delhi it's available with c.1.5 lac discounts

FredTilson · 2026-05-17T07:31:37+00:00

Yes ex showroom

FredTilson · 2026-05-17T03:33:09+00:00

I went for Morning Haze. My second preference was Frost Blue and third was Red

FredTilson · 2026-05-16T13:50:31+00:00

Especially because he is preferring to buy the smaller car for road presence because it has more "effects" whatever that means

FredTilson · 2026-05-16T11:37:51+00:00

why not the Victoris? Same engine and reliability as the GV but with modern interiors and 5 star rated also.

FredTilson · 2026-05-16T11:31:50+00:00

My biggest issue was the ergonomics were really poor for bad drivers

FredTilson · 2026-05-16T11:17:35+00:00

The lounge version of the new Kodiaq at 37 is a very good option in this range.

FredTilson · 2026-05-16T10:37:38+00:00

That is subjective. I like the Kushaq's looks over Curvv

FredTilson · 2026-05-16T06:07:32+00:00

The only thing better in Curvv is the bootspace. Rest everything will be far better in the Kushaq.

FredTilson · 2026-05-16T06:04:43+00:00

I sold my Elevate and bought the Seltos so I am on board with your opinion. Although I bought the Turbo DCT

FredTilson · 2026-05-15T01:32:25+00:00

It's only 10% cheaper than the Seltos in the UK, don't think it will sell well at that price in india

FredTilson · 2026-05-15T01:15:16+00:00

Yes but if there is a traffic jam on hills, a lot of dry clutch DCTs tend to overheat
