Asked by: Mudit Varshneyon Dec 25, 2025

I am looking for a petrol 7-seater and am considering the Tata Safari and the Skoda Kodiaq. My objective is to buy the best value-for-money car. My overall driving will be mostly on highways and nearby areas of Delhi NCT, with city driving only for short distances on weekends, contributing about 25-30% of total driving. So far, my average annual driving has been limited to around 8,000 km.

Yes, the Tata Safari petrol is a good option to consider. The 170hp petrol engine is smooth and punchy, making it a lovely car to drive. 

However, if you have the budget to opt for the Skoda Kodiaq, then, quite frankly, the Safari petrol, other than a much more spacious third row, can’t match the Kodiaq, which is in a different class altogether. 

It is better engineered, has a quality feel and is superbly equipped. Also, for your driving, which is mainly on weekends and on highways, where there is less traffic, you can really enjoy the Kodiaq, which is a perfect car. The only compromise you will have to make is with the third row, which is best for kids.

Asked by: Kiran D Son Dec 25, 2025

I currently own a 2017 Honda Jazz Petrol VX, which is now 9 years old and has covered 50,000km. I do not drive daily. Usage is mostly within the city (60%) with occasional highway trips (40%). We are a family of 4 adults and 2 kids. I am planning to upgrade to a 7-seater and have shortlisted the Mahindra XUV7XO and Tata Safari. I am confused about choosing between petrol and diesel. Please advise.

Yes, both the Tata Safari and the upcoming Mahindra XUV 7XO offer petrol options, and both are good engines that deliver well on refinement and performance, the Mahindra more so. However, fuel efficiency will not be very high.
In our usage, the petrol Mahindra XUV700 returned mid single-digit fuel efficiency figures in the city, and the new XUV7XO will be no different. We are yet to test the Tata Safari petrol for efficiency, but stay tuned to our website because we will be doing that shortly.
If you are okay with low mileage figures, go ahead with the petrol. We will also be reviewing the new 7XO next month, so stay tuned for that. Between the two, for primarily city use, the Mahindra is likely to be the better choice as it is narrower, feels lighter, and is easier to drive thanks to its very light steering.

Asked by: Ragzon Dec 17, 2025

I already own a Creta Electric and am now a fan of electric vehicles. I need a new 7-seater for around ₹22-24 lakh. My running will be very low - about 500 km per month, plus 3-4 long trips a year of around 350 km one way. I’m confused between the Mahindra 7XO and the 9S (2P pack, 70 kWh), as they seem very similar, and the decision will mostly depend on final pricing. Which one should I buy? Are there any other options you can suggest?

The Mahindra XEV 9S is a large car, but its last row isn't comfortable for adults over long drives. Hence, if you need a comfortable seven-seater for long drives, consider the Turbo petrol versions of the Kia Carens Clavis and Tata Safari instead. 

There's also the Kia Carens Clavis EV in this range, which shares its battery+motor with the Creta Electric. However, on your 350km+ highway drives, you will have to stop and charge once, as its real-world highway range is about 345km as per our tests

Asked by: Abinashon Dec 11, 2025

I have been using Tata Punch for a year. For me, this car met all my expectations being a new driver as well as a first-time owner. Now, I want to move towards a more premium segment and comfort with more latest features available in the market. Which car should I buy? I bought the Punch under 10 lakh (on-road). This time, my budget is under 20 lakh. I prefer Indian brands only.

The Tata Safari is the one for you. It will feel like a huge step up compared to a Tata Punch in all aspects - road presence, cabin space, interior quality, equipment, drive experience, etc. Multiple variants of the Safari will fall within your budget - petrol, diesel or turbo-petrol, so based on your usage, you could pick the one that's right for you.
We've experienced the Turbo-petrol AT and Diesel AT, and out of these, the former is our pick for its smoothness, refinement and strong performance.

Asked by: Vs devon Dec 11, 2025

I’m looking for a car, either an SUV or a sedan. My budget is up to ₹25 lakh. The car must-have: a 5-star safety rating and excellent ride comfort; priority is the best suspension in this price bracket for a mix of highway cruising and rough roads.

We suggest you wait for the updated Mahindra XUV 7XO (earlier XUV700), which is launching on 5th January, or for the German siblings, the Skoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun, as both are due for updates soon as well. Otherwise, you can go ahead with the Tata Harrier or Safari.

Asked by: Shruthik Reddy Von Dec 9, 2025

We currently own a Nexon diesel and are very happy with it, but we now want to buy a seven-seater - most likely the Tata Safari - in a petrol version since the vehicle will be used rarely. The petrol variants of the Harrier and Safari were expected to launch today, but seem to have been delayed. Why was the launch postponed, and when can we expect the petrol models to be released?

The launch of the petrol versions of the Tata Harrier and Tata Safari will happen this December for sure. 

We will also be driving both Harrier and Safari this month, and our full review will be out on our website and YouTube channel towards the 3rd week of this month, so do look out for that.

Asked by: Kedar Shelaron Dec 8, 2025

I am very happy with my Ertiga diesel and want to buy a new diesel car within a budget of ₹15-18 lakh. Which is the best option among Kia, XUV700, or Safari? I need the car for city as well as urban travel.

By Kia, we assume you mean the Kia Carens Clavis, and this is the car we would recommend for you. Since your travel is in the city and urban environments, this Kia car feels the easiest to maneuver of the three. Moreover, with your budget, you will get a better-equipped Clavis than a Tata Safari or Mahindra XUV700.
R
Asked by: R P Rajon Dec 7, 2025

Whether to buy the Tata Safari or XUV700 for a daily 30km ride in busy streets and twice-a-year tours to a neighbouring state of around 1,200km?

The Tata Safari will do well on the highway trips, and it has a better third row, so if this is important for you, go with it. However, the XUV700 is the better all-rounder, and the diesel engine is far more refined and delivers excellent performance. In the city, it will feel lighter on its feet too.
Moreover, the Mahindra XUV700 is due for an update, and this will be released next month. Thus, if you can, we would recommend you wait until that version has launched.
P
Asked by: Pruthvi Kumaron Dec 5, 2025

I’m confused between the Tata Safari and the Mahindra XUV700 - which should I choose?

Between the Tata Safari and the Mahindra XUV700, it’s the Mahindra car that we would recommend. It is more comfortable, has strong engines, offers a more refined driving experience and has better features.

The Safari scores well on design, feels a bit tougher over bad sections and has the more spacious third row, but all things considered, the Mahindra XUV700 is better. It might be worth waiting for a few months, however, as the XUV700 facelift is just around the corner.

R
Asked by: Rahul Prashant Son Dec 3, 2025

I am about to buy an automatic, petrol, 7-seater car, keeping the next 12 years in mind. Based on my budget, I have shortlisted the XUV700 AX5 and the Hyundai Alcazar Prestige (DCT). I am a moderate user; my current car has done only around 35,000 km in the last 12 years. My usage is a mix of highway and city driving. If I choose mileage, I feel the Alcazar is better, but in terms of build size and looks, I prefer the XUV700 AX5. I am a bit puzzled between these two. Any suggestions?

The Mahindra XUV700 is more spacious and has a punchier engine. Since you plan to hold on to your cars for a long time, we'd recommend you wait till the first quarter of 2026, when Mahindra brings in the updated XUV700 with the latest in terms of tech and features.
Another option which you may consider is the upcoming Tata Safari petrol AT - as a seven-seater, it is likely to be comfier than the XUV700 and Hyundai Alcazar.
