Hi, I am planning to buy the XUV 7XO. I drive about 1,000 km in the city every month and take highway trips twice a year. I am confused between the petrol and diesel versions, mainly because of DPF issues, as most of my driving is in the city. Kindly suggest.

If your city cycle involves drives longer than 20 minutes at a speed greater than 50kph, you should be fine. However, if your drives are typically short and at low speeds, you could have an issue and may be prompted to conduct a regeneration cycle. This involves driving the XUV 7X0 for about 20 minutes at speeds above 50 - 60 kph to clear the DPF. Basically, the DPF needs to get hot enough to burn away the soot, and this only happens on long drives with higher engine speeds.

Thanks for your prompt reply. I wud like to clarify that my drive doesn't involve speeds greater than 60kph even for 5 to 10 mins.

Same situation with me. I heard about ' Parking Regenerarion'. Will that be helpful in this scenario?

I have the same question. And I am considering b/w 7XO or Harrier. Have you already done your purchase? Would be great to connect with you to understand what considerations you had and how you reached at your decision. I am a first time vehicle buyer and driver with the exact same use case and usage pattern as yours. I am based in Delhi NCR

There is an option inside instrumental cluster of SUV so that when def issue arrives you can just press this button and the vehicle can be stand still and it will do regen automatically.

Go for diesel. DPF issue is overly exaggerated. If you drive at such low speed all the time, just take ur car for small spin once in a month. For 5-6 kms. Diesel mileage is 9-11 kmpl in city. Petrol is 5-6 kmpl.

Go for Diesel. All this DPF issue is non sense. If need be, just take vehicle for spin late evening once a month on speed 50-60 kmph. Diesel average is 8-10 in city. Petrol is around 5-6.

I am confused between the Mahindra XUV700 AX7T automatic and the Mahindra XEV 9S Pack 2 (above 70 kWh). My usage is mostly in the city with occasional long trips.

If you have home charging available, the Mahindra XEV 9e Pack 2 makes a lot of sense. Electric cars are extremely smooth in city traffic, offer instant torque and have much lower running costs compared to petrol SUVs.However, if home charging is not easily available and you prefer the convenience of quick refuelling for occasional long trips, the Mahindra XUV 7XO automatic is the safer and simpler choice. It removes the need to plan charging stops and will feel more convenient for highway travel.Choose the XEV 9e if you have home charging and want lower running costs with a smoother city drive. Choose the XUV 7XO automatic if you want maximum convenience for long trips without worrying about charging.

I am planning to upgrade from a Maruti Suzuki Ertiga to a new three-row SUV mainly for city driving. The Tata Safari Adventure X petrol AT does not have a dedicated third-row AC unit. Will this affect cooling for third-row passengers in Mumbai’s heat during daily use? I am also considering the MG Hector Plus Savvy Pro AT and the Mahindra XUV 7XO AX7 petrol AT. Which would be the better choice among these?

Out of the three mentioned above, the Mahindra XUV 7XO would be the better choice. It is a lot more refined, plush and sorted overall and feels worth the money you pay. The engine is powerful, silent, and the gearbox works well in the city as well. The tech is new-age, and it feels futureproof. However, the third row, despite getting AC vents, isn't the best in terms of space and comfort. The middle row cannot slide ahead, and that restricts room in the last row. Coming from an Ertiga, you will feel the space crunch in the 7XO and even the Hector Plus or the Tata Safari. If the third row is frequently used, the Kia Carens Clavis is the right choice as it has proper space in the third row and is quite practical. It isn't as fast or powerful as the others, but it has enough punch and is almost equally packed with features. Being lighter than the bigger SUVs, it is also easy to drive around the city, and it has a smooth DCT gearbox. If third row space is not critical, then we would recommend the XUV 7XO, but if you want space in the last row, the Clavis would be ideal.

I am confused between the Mahindra XUV 7XO AX5 and Mahindra XUV 7XO AX7 variants, as I prefer practicality over extra features. Alternatively, should I consider waiting for the Tata Sierra?

If you don't mind the additional spend, we'd recommend the Mahindra XUV 7XO in AX7 trim. Elements like its larger 18-inch alloy wheels and leatherette upholstery add greatly to the look and feel of things. While auto climate control, a 540-degree camera and front parking sensors are features you will appreciate every day. The Tata Sierra is not a like-for-like alternative to the Mahindra 7XO. The 7XO is larger, more powerful and also offers three rows of seating.Further, the 7XO is slightly pricier, too. Within Tata's range, the Tata Safari is an alternative to the 7XO.
