My budget is ₹23-24 lakh, and I am confused between the Tata Sierra and the Mahindra XUV7XO.

The choice between the Sierra and XUV 7X0 comes down to your specific requirements. The Mahindra XUV 7XO would be the one to go for if you require a third row of seats, as the Sierra does not offer one. It's also the one to go for if driving pleasure and strong engines are something you prefer, as both the petrol and diesel are more peppy than those on the Sierra.

However, if you want something mainly for the city, the Tata Sierra, being smaller, would be a bit better suited; the engines would offer you a slightly better efficiency.

Sierra's ride comfort and interior is top notch. Its Hyperion 1.5 turbo petrol refinement is superb. 7XO is 👎

Dont listen to these gimmicks of people saying about XUV 7XO. I did test drive of both. Sierra is the New benchmark. XUV 7XO released on a hurry with the fear of Sierra stealing the market with craze. XUV 7XO diesel is not upto the mark. In 6 months ahead, you will see a lot of Sierra will rule the indian roads. The Hyperion 1.5 Turbo is simply superb. XUV 7XO's 3rd row may be suitable for dogs or cats. Not for humans.

It really depends on what kind of suffering you’re shopping for. If you’re keen to explore the full artistic spectrum of service center incompetence, then Tata Sierra is the obvious choice. New model, new headaches, and technicians who will likely be diagnosing it via YouTube tutorials while you sit there rethinking life decisions. Mahindra at least built the XUV7XO on something they already understand, so there is a fair chance someone might know which end of the spanner to hold when your car throws a tantrum. That said, do not assume professionalism. They remain perfectly capable of delivering their own moments of baffling brilliance. So relax. You cannot really make a wrong choice here. Disappointment is well within reach on both sides. Pick whichever badge you want to stare at while waiting in the service lounge.

Kindly suggest between Innova Crysta GX Plus new or old automatic Crysta, or diesel Scorpio N Z8 Select auto new, for family travelling and overall keeping for the long term. I am confused. Kindly guide.

As a family car, the Toyota Innova Crysta will be much more comfortable than a Mahindra Scorpio N, particularly due to its more spacious cabin, especially while ferrying six or seven adults. Moreover, this Toyota car feels more composed and settled at highway speeds, whereas the Scorpio N tends to feel a bit bumpy in comparison.The Scorpio N has its merits, such as a better road presence, lighter steering, a smoother, more refined diesel engine, and an automatic transmission option, which unfortunately the Crysta doesn't get.Alternatively, you could consider the Mahindra XUV 7XO AX3 or AX5 diesel-automatic, which will be more comfortable than a Scorpion N for 6 or 7 passengers, and its ride quality is much better too.

Which car to chose between XUV 7XO AX7T and Innova HyCross ZX(O)?

Autocar India

There’s a big price gap between the two. The Mahindra XUV7XO AX7T diesel is roughly Rs 10 lakh less than the Toyota Innova HyCross ZX(O), which is priced at around Rs 38 lakh on-road. That’s significant, so the decision really depends on how much that difference matters to you and what you expect from the car.If price isn’t a constraint, the HyCross ZX(O) makes a very strong case as a city car. Its hybrid powertrain is exceptionally smooth, quiet and efficient in stop-and-go traffic. It glides around town in EV mode at low speeds and feels far more refined than a conventional diesel automatic. The cabin is also more comfortable overall, especially the third row, which is genuinely more usable for adults.The XUV 7XO, on the other hand, is the more engaging car to drive. The 2.2-litre diesel is very torquey, the steering and controls are light, and it feels surprisingly easy to handle in town despite its size. That said, as a conventional ICE with a 6-speed automatic, it can’t match the seamlessness of the Hycross hybrid in urban conditions.On the highway, the equation shifts. The XUV 7XO comes into its own as a high-speed cruiser, with a strong mid-range punch, effortless overtakes, and very good stability. It just feels more at home stretching its legs. The HyCross is by no means weak or unstable at speed. Its 2.0-litre hybrid has enough performance, and it cruises comfortably, but its character clearly suits city use better.So it really comes down to usage. Predominantly city driving with lots of traffic? The Toyota Innova HyCross hybrid is the better fit. A healthy mix of city and highway, with frequent long drives? The XUV 7XO diesel offers strong value and a more satisfying highway experience.

I am confused between the Sierra diesel and the Seltos NA petrol MT. I want to buy a safe car. Seltos looks good and is good to drive. Will Seltos score 5 stars in safety as they use the K3 platform?

Autocar India

The new Kia Seltos hasn't been crash-tested yet, but it is built on a newer, reinforced K3 platform and gets a plethora of safety features, so it is likely to score higher than the outgoing version.What adds to the confidence is that the smaller, more affordable Kia Syros (built on a reinforced K1 platform) has scored a 5-star safety rating in Bharat NCAP tests, hence it is possible that this new-gen Seltos achieves a similar feat. Although we'll have to wait for the final outcome when it is actually crash tested. Interestingly, the Sierra hasn't been crash tested either.The Tata Sierra is more spacious than the Seltos (particularly at the rear), and it feels like a tough SUV. However, a similarly-equipped Tata Sierra Diesel MT is much more expensive than a Kia Seltos NA Petrol MT. Besides being more affordable, the Seltos is smooth, refined and with light controls, it is a touch easier to drive. Hence, between the two, we'd pick the Seltos.
