Toyota HyCross hybrid vs Mahindra XUV 7XO, which one to buy?

Autocar India

•4w

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.

Hi Arun Please don’t go for Scorpio which doesn’t have comfort due to body rollover If you are ok to buy second hand then go for Crysta 2.8 engine automatic and you will get good vehicle under 15 lakhs you won’t get this comfort on any other mpv I challenge you If you need fresh one then hycross hybrid would be a good choice since you have minimum run of 1000 per month

Compare Innova Hycross with 7XO Diesel for a more practical view

Space and Fuel Efficiency of The Hycross are better, it has pathetic interiors for a car priced 30lakhs plus, the xuv 7xo more fun to drive, pampers you top notch interiors with more features than the Hycross. The diesel engine is go go for if at all. Petrol avg is very low so avoid that. You may consider the Petrol Tata Safari as the 3rd row is better than the 7xo and the fuel efficiency is also 9 to 10kmpl.

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).

Hi, I am thinking of purchasing the Mahindra XEV 9S due to the variety of features it offers. I am confused whether to buy an EV or the Innova HyCross, considering resale value in another 3 years.

While both brands are very popular, there's no doubt that Toyota has an edge over Mahindra when it comes to resale value. This is especially true of the Innova brand, which has made a strong name for itself with regard to reliability and longevity since its introduction in 2005, and that has passed on to the Innova HyCross strong hybrid as well.Moreover, given that electric cars have only been around a relatively short time and the longevity of their batteries is yet to be proven, there is uncertainty around them, and thus their resale value is generally lower than that of vehicles with an engine, which aren't solely dependent on their battery.So even after three years, the Innova will have a stronger resale value than the Mahindra XEV 9S. And yes, while the Mahindra has a long list of the latest features, the Toyota Innova HyCross in top-spec trim gets all the essentials and then some.

I am planning to buy a 7-seater, and my running is not very regular. Sometimes, for a long time, I don’t drive much, but when I do, I may cross 1000 km in a single trip. I need good space in the 3rd row as well. Which one should I prefer: Mahindra XUV 7XO or Tata Safari? I need full comfort and luxury, and my budget is around ₹35 lakh.

Between the two, the Tata Safari works slightly better as a family-oriented seven-seater. Its second row can slide forward and backwards, which helps create more legroom for passengers sitting in the third row. This flexibility makes the last row easier to use for adults on longer journeys.The Mahindra XUV 7XO, on the other hand, offers stronger performance and more features, especially in the higher variants. It is a nicer car to drive with stronger performance, but the third row is better suited to children or shorter journeys compared to the Safari.If your priority is maximum comfort for all passengers and better third-row usability, the Safari Accomplished+ diesel automatic is the better choice. If you prefer stronger performance and more tech features, the XUV 7XO AX7L diesel automatic is the one to consider.
