Up until now, there was no official word as to when this process will begin but now; Mahindra has given a clear timeline for the XUV700 going to forward. Additionally, Mahindra has also announced the complete variant-wise pricing for the XUV700.

Let’s start with the booking and test drives process. Test drives of the XUV700 will begin in a phased manner with phase-1 cities starting test drives from October 2. This includes Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Pune, Indore, Lucknow, Coimbatore and Vadodara, Then, cities in phase 2 will start their test drives from October 7 and this list includes Jaipur, Surat, Patna, Cochin, Cuttack, Kanpur, Calicut and Nashik. The company will add more cities subsequently to initiate test drives for the rest of the country starting from 10th October. Mahindra says that the car will be available for previews at Mahindra dealerships starting October 1 itself, across the country.

The booking for the Mahindra XUV700 will begin on October 7 across India. Do note that prices which have been announced today are only applicable for the first 25,000 bookings of the car, post which Mahindra will increase the prices of the car. Also, given the long list of variants, series and customization options, Mahindra has launched an ‘add to cart’ feature on their website which should make the process of finalizing the correct configuration a tab bit easier.

]]> Amazon to launch its own TV by October: Report https://indiachron.com/business/amazon-to-launch-its-own-tv-by-october-report/ Mon, 06 Sep 2021 04:24:38 +0000 https://indiachron.com/amazon-to-launch-its-own-tv-by-october-report Amazon is reportedly preparing to launch its own Amazon-branded TVs, possibly as soon as October.

According to Insider, the TVs will have Alexa, screen sizes “in the range of 55 to 75 inches”, and will be designed and manufactured by third parties such as TCL.

The company has reportedly worked on the TV for two years and will initially launch in the US.

The e-commerce giant offers Amazon Basic branded TVs in India. It has also partnered with BestBuy to sell Toshiba and Insignia TVs that are powered by Amazon Fire TV software.

Meanwhile, Amazon is introducing a new feature, Adaptive Volume that will make Alexa respond louder if it detects a noisy background.

According to the company, the mode is meant to make sure that users can still hear Alexa’s responses over any background noise, like the sound of dishwasher, people talking, or music playing on another device.

Amazon doesn’t mention adaptive volume working in the opposite direction, becoming quieter if there’s no background noise, but there are other ways to reduce the volume dynamically.
