Being a satisfied XUV500 proprietor for the past 5 years, I was ever perplexed to work the posts successful Team-BHP each azygous clip Mahindra launches a caller car. As accustomed the cars volition person large engines, 6-7 airbags, fantabulous information ratings, cutting borderline exertion similar level 2 ADAS, panoramic sunroof, mouthwatering prices etc., but inactive successful practically each fewer pages idiosyncratic volition outpouring up and accidental " nary car dimming IRVMs???! Horrible outgo cutting 
!" I had seen astatine slightest 25 specified posts successful the assorted Mahindra threads (Thar, XUV700, ScorpioN, XUV3XO, Thar Roxx) successful the past 4-5 years, truthful overmuch that I started wondering "Am I missing thing which is precise evident to others?"
Frankly, I person driven much than 60K kilometers successful my XUV500 and my ownership acquisition has been excellent. More than a 3rd of my thrust has been aft sunset and I person ne'er felt immoderate necessity for immoderate car dimming IRVM each these years. I mightiness occasionally flip the IRVM manually erstwhile determination is simply a glare, whitethorn beryllium 3-4 times a month. That's it. Nothing much than that.
For immoderate reason, I had to instrumentality my wife's car retired (Hyundai Grand i10 Nios) consecutively connected 3 nights and the world dawned connected me. Many a clip successful metropolis traffic, erstwhile a bus/truck comes wrong 15 feet with a precocious beam on, erstwhile you extremity up looking astatine the IRVM, it truly causes terrible eye-strain. There is oculus strain adjacent with smaller vehicles but much truthful with buses/trucks arsenic their headlamps are astatine the aforesaid level arsenic the IRVM (about 4 feet from the ground).
When I went backmost and did a small google search, it was wide that conveyance headlamps tin not beryllium little than 24 inches from crushed level and tin not beryllium higher than 54 inches (4.5 feet) from crushed level. Most Mahindra cars person a extortion tallness of 175 cms (XUV700) to 186 cm (Scorpio N, Thar, Thar Roxx). These vehicles person their IRVMS typically 4 inches beneath the roof. Hence the tallness of IRVMs is mostly astir 5'6" to 5'10" from crushed level, which is astatine slightest 30 cms supra the highest headlamps successful buses/trucks (4'6").
Moreover, the enarthrosis enactment of the rear hatch of XUV700, Scorpio N, Thar and Thar Roxx are each taller than 4'6" (i.e, the solid information starts lone supra 4'6") thereby efficaciously cutting the glare from the headlamps of the buses/trucks down successful adjacent range.
On the contrary, successful smaller vehicles, similar Hyundai Nios (roof tallness 152 cms), the rear hatch enarthrosis ends astatine astir 3'6" from the ground. The IRVMs excessively are placed precisely astatine 4'6" from the crushed level, thereby ending up straight reflecting the lights from the headlamps behind.
Case successful point: Auto dimming IRVMs are offered lone successful 2 cars from the Mahindra stable: XUV400 and XUV3XO. Incidentally these 2 are the shortest cars from Mahindra unchangeable (height 165cms). This is nary coincidence.
So, for astir cars, if the IRVMs are positioned astatine a tallness of 5'6" oregon higher, I genuinely consciousness that determination is nary implicit request for auto-dimming IRVMs. The merchandise improvement squad astatine Mahindra truly merit to beryllium appreciated for their clarity and understanding! 
P.S: I anticipation Pratap Bose fanboys don't springiness him the recognition for this.
