I own a 2018 Creta SX(O) top-end diesel model that has completed one lakh kilometres. I am now looking to change the car. My budget is around ₹30 lakh, and my daily average running is about 50km. Please suggest a good option.

Assuming you want to continue driving a diesel-AT SUV, the upcoming Mahindra XUV 7XO would be a good option for you. It'll fit within your budget, it will be feature-loaded and come with the flexibility of a third row of seats.

The XUV 7XO is expected to carry over the XUV700’s powertrain options – a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and a 2.2-litre diesel unit. Both come with 6-speed manual and automatic gearbox options, with the diesel also available with AWD. This Mahindra car will debut on January 5, 2026.

Got the creta turbo petrol 1yr back but want a bigger car, is it a good financial decision to sell the creta in 6 months and idk how much I will loose in Chennai but I heard it has good resale value, and planning to buy a bigger car like 7 seater just for driving experience, is this a good decision in overall and financial point of view and what cars can I look after selling? Got the creta for 25L on road.

Purely financially, it isn’t optimal to sell your car so soon, as 12-18-month-old cars take the sharpest depreciation hit. Expect a resale value of approximately Rs 20 lakh for your outgoing car - a financial hit of around 20 percent. If you still wish to satisfy your itch to upgrade to a larger car, consider the Mahindra XUV 7XO. It is thoroughly modern, and it’s a genuine size upgrade over your Hyundai Creta with a punchier engine, and the nicest drive in this class. Of course, it isn't the most spacious 7-seater out there; space in the third row is tight, but for occasional use it does the job.If you plan to use all three rows regularly, you could even opt for the Tata Safari. It is more spacious than the Mahindra, and its road presence is great too.

I am currently using a 2018 Skoda Rapid diesel automatic (top-end) with 1,75,000 km on the odometer. I drive both on highways and in the city and am now looking to upgrade to a diesel vehicle that offers good power, comfort, and safety. My budget is around ₹25 lakh, and I am open to both 5-seater and 7-seater SUVs. I have not driven a petrol vehicle so far. Which SUV would be a good choice for me?

Go for the Mahindra XUV 7XO Diesel AT as it fits your criteria. Coming from a Rapid diesel AT, you’ll appreciate the XUV 7XO’s 2.2‑litre diesel engine that's refined and punchy and paired with a smooth 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. It makes for a seamless drive in the city and out on highways. You also get the flexibility of a third row of seats, and the 7XO comes loaded with safety kit like 6 airbags, traction control and Level 2 ADAS tech. Although it hasn't been crash tested yet, the pre-facelift XUV 700 did receive a 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP, which should bode well for the XUV 7XO as well. It also has a spacious and comfortable cabin that has features like a triple screen setup, panoramic sunroof and ventilated front and middle row seats.

Hi, I am buying a new car, but I’m confused between the Tata Safari Adventure X Plus petrol automatic, Mahindra XUV 7XO AX7 petrol automatic, and Tata Safari Accomplished petrol automatic.

Between your choices, the Mahindra XUV 7XO offers better value for your money. In terms of performance, the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine in the XUV 7XO has a definite edge over the Safari’s 1.5-litre turbo-petrol. In AX7 trim, it is also better equipped than the Adventure X trim of the Safari and is almost on par with the Accomplished trim at a significantly lower price.It also offers superior ride quality. The Safari does have a slightly more comfortable third row, but if this is not a priority for you, then the XUV 7XO is the better choice.
