Despite Integrated Material Cost Reduction (IMCR) not specifying feature revisions for Z8 and Z8L, various YouTube channels, citing dealership sources, have highlighted these changes. The removal of the passenger-side door request sensor and the reduction of rear parking sensors from four to two affect both Z8 and Z8L trims. Another update includes a color change in the rear tailgate door handle from silver to black.

However, conflicting reports suggest that Mahindra has consistently provided 17-inch alloy wheels with manual transmissions
