Mahindra XUV700 Buyers Delivery Dates
A certain Abhishek Pawaskar has taken to Facebook to express his anger and frustration on Mahindra. He was among the first 25,000 people who had booked the SUV on the very first day of booking opening. Mahindra received the first 25,000 bookings within the first hour of the first day and closed the booking for that day.
