    Mahindra XUV700 front quarter

    I've been trying to upgrade my Hyundai Creta AT with a budget of Rs 22 lakh-25 lakh, however, I don't like the midsize SUV options in the market. I need a car that'll be comfortable for my family as well as enjoyable to drive, particularly on long drives. What are my options?

    Autocar India says: If you want to upgrade from the old Creta, then it is the Mahindra XUV700 that you should go for. The XUV700 is a proper step up, in terms of size, features, space, comfort and performance. To top it off, it is rather nice to drive with sorted driving manners and impressive powertrain options. If you are open to sedans, Volkswagen Virtus 1.5 DSG or Skoda Slavia 1.5 DSG are also worth considering.
