I currently own a Ford EcoSport, while my wife has been using a Tata Manza for the past 15 years. We are retiring this year and are looking to buy an SUV with annual usage of around 5,000km. Most of the driving will be in the city, with an occasional out-of-town trip once a month, though we do not prefer driving more than 250km in a day. Mileage is not a concern, but safety, luxury, and comfort are top priorities. We are looking for a petrol automatic. Please advise between the Mahindra 7XO, new Kia Seltos, and Tata Sierra.

Considering you are looking for a petrol car and mileage is not a concern, you can consider the newly launched Mahindra XUV 7XO. It is equipped with a powerful 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine that’s paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission and delivers effortless performance. We will be driving the 7XO soon, but going by the Mahindra XUV700, it should be comfortable, packed with premium features, and equipped with a comprehensive set of safety features.

Hello Team, I'm currently driving a Figo 1.5 Diesel, which I've driven 1.50L km since I purchased it in 2016. I'm planning on a bigger SUV, and as a diesel fan, I'm left with few options. I'm confused between the XUV7XO and the Jeep Compass (both automatic). Undoubtedly, the XUV700 beats the Compass in many aspects. I'm attracted to the Compass for its unique road presence and its reputation as a driver's car. However, I'm concerned about its poor mileage and service cost, as heard in some reviews. I need your detailed guidance.

Between the Mahindra XUV 7XO and the Jeep Compass, the XUV 7XO makes more sense overall. It is a larger SUV with a more spacious cabin and will feel like a proper upgrade from your Figo in terms of comfort and practicality. If effortless performance is important to you, the XUV 7XO is the easier choice. Despite its size, the diesel engine delivers strong and relaxed performance, and it is also more refined than the diesel engine in the Compass.It is worth noting that neither of these SUVs is particularly impressive in terms of fuel efficiency, but the XUV 7XO still offers a good balance of performance and usability for long-distance driving.The Jeep Compass has its own charm and feels premium inside and out. It is also known for its driving manners. However, considering its higher purchase price, it will naturally be more expensive to run and maintain as well, which is something you need to keep in mind.

Hi team, I want to buy a 7-seater car. Need advice between Toyota HyCross GX (O), Tata Safari or Mahindra 7XO.

You should go for the Toyota Innova HyCross GX (O) if you want a true 7-seater with the roomiest third row of seats. The HyCross's 2,850 mm wheelbase and flat floor make the third row friendlier for adults than the Tata Safari or the Mahindra XUV 7XO. Furthermore, it's backed up by Toyota’s proven reliability and hassle-free ownership in India.However, you will have to compromise when it comes to the powertrain. The Hycross' 2.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine isn't as punchy as the Tata Safari and XUV 7XO's turbocharged units, and real-world mileage is quite poor, as we managed 6.9kpl in the city and 12.4kpl on the highway. The Toyota also doesn't get a diesel engine option like the other two.If you prioritise performance and high-end features, either the Safari or the Mahindra XUV 7XO makes more sense. As for pricing, the Innova HyCross GX (O) is priced between Rs 20.43 lakh and Rs 20.56 lakh (ex-showroom).

I am currently using a Tata Harrier and am very satisfied with it overall. Now, I am planning to upgrade and am considering two options: either going for the latest version of the Tata Harrier again or choosing the Mahindra XUV 7XO. Could you please advise which would be the better option?

While the facelift of the Tata Harrier received in 2023 was fairly substantial, it isn’t enough of an upgrade over your Harrier. Instead, we suggest you try something new and opt for the Mahindra XUV 7XO. It is a three-row SUV compared to the two-row Harrier, is better equipped with features such as a triple-screen setup as standard, and offers a more powerful diesel engine. Take a test drive of both SUVs before you decide.
