Between the new Scorpio and the new XUV 7XO, which one is better?

Overall, the new Mahindra XUV 7XO is the better car. It is more refined, has stronger engines and is much nicer to drive thanks to an updated suspension system. The cabin has also been updated, and the talking point is the three-screen digital display carried over from the XEV 9e and 9s.

The new Mahindra Scorpio has a special tough-as-nails character and feels indestructible, but compared to the XUV 7XO, it doesn’t have the same polish or sophistication.

I have a budget of ₹22 lakhs and am looking for an automatic petrol car, either a proper 5-seater or a 7-seater. Suspension and performance are my top priorities. I am confused between the Mahindra XUV 7XO, the 2026 Renault Duster 1.3 L Turbo (as I do not have clear information on its suspension), and the Volkswagen Taigun GT Sport (which feels cramped for 5 people). Please suggest the best option.

The Mahindra XUV 7XO is the best option for you. It has a spacious and comfortable cabin with three rows of seats, though it's worth noting that the third row is a bit cramped for adults. The Mahindra XUV 7XO is powered by a 203hp/380Nm, 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo petrol engine paired with a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, delivering strong performance. The XUV 7XO also features new 'DaVinci' dampers and hydraulic bump stops in the suspension setup. As a result, this SUV feels plush and comfortable at low speeds and composed at highway speeds. Mahindra XUV 7XO petrol-auto prices range from Rs 17.47 lakh to Rs 23.64 lakh (ex-showroom, India).

Confused between the Safari petrol and the XUV 7XO. The reason is the future-proof claims of the Tata Hyperion engine being BS7-ready and E27 compliant. Please suggest what to do.

We wouldn't base our choice on the engine's compatibility with E20. It's not just Tata Motors, but most manufacturers that have upgraded their engines beyond E20 compliance to E27 to protect them against higher ethanol blends.There are other reasons to choose between the Tata Safari petrol and the XUV 7XO petrol. If you want space and comfort, especially in the third row, the Safari is the one for you. The Mahindra XUV 7XO is the more enjoyable of the two to drive, thanks to its strong mStallion 2.0-litre engine and improved dynamics. The 7XO has more on-board tech and features as well.

The choice between the Toyota Innova HyCross and the Mahindra XUV 7XO really comes down to your specific requirements, as both are fairly different. If you are looking for a thrilling and peppy driving experience, then the Mahindra is the way to go. Both the petrol and diesel engines deliver a strong performance and are very refined.However, if a more laid-back driving feel and fuel efficiency are your priorities, then the Toyota is the way to go, as the hybrid powertrain would prove to be more efficient. In our standard test cycle, it delivered 13.1 km/l in the city and 16.1 km/l on the highway.
