Got my first car, Mahindra XUV 3XO Ax7

Finally, I welcomed a new car into my family! After considering the Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, and Skoda Kushaq, I decided to go with the Mahindra XUV 3XO AX7. Before this, I owned a second-hand Alto 800 LXI, which I bought two years ago specifically to learn driving. From the start, I had planned to use the Alto for two years and then purchase a new car by the time I turned 31. The Story: It was January 2025, and with my birthday on January 30th and my daughter's first birthday on March 4th, there were multiple special occasions ahead. The waiting period for the XUV 3XO was around four months, so I requested the dealer to deliver the car on my daughter's birthday if possible. They agreed, and I initially booked the XUV 3XO AX5 in Galaxy Gray on January 11th. However, after some research, I changed my mind within three days and switched to the AX5L in Nebula Blue for the ADAS feature. But after further consideration, I realized ADAS might not be very useful in India, given my driving needs. So, I canceled the AX5L booking and opted for the AX7 in Nebula Blue from a different dealer. Luckily, a relative of mine works as a Customer Relationship Manager in the service department of a Mahindra dealership. Through his contacts, I managed to book the AX7 on January 22nd. I originally hoped to get the delivery on my birthday, but the car was still in transit. However, just 12 days later, on February 4th, I finally took delivery of my new car—and I couldn’t be happier!
