RISHIWANTH V
•9wI am buying my dream car. With the upgrades seen in the XUV 7XO, I have booked the Diesel MT, but I am confused about variant selection. I am more inclined to the AX Diesel MT, which provides almost all the basic features. My budget is ₹18-20 lakh. Please advise.

While the Mahindra XUV 7XO AX diesel-manual packs in a lot for the money, we'd urge you to consider the higher spec AX3 that is still within your budget. The added Rs 1.7 lakh will get handy features like a reverse camera and electric mirror fold, as well as essentials like a rear defogger and rear wiper. These features add greatly to your long-term experience with the car, and are way more reliable than aftermarket solutions that might cost less.
You could also consider the petrol-AT AX3 or petrol-manual AX5 for the same money. Do note, while the petrol engine is smooth and powerful, it isn't very efficient. Fuel economy is on the low side.
