Trending Questions on Mahindra Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
Iโm 72 years old. At present, I drive a Maruti Swift. My running is not too much and is limited to local driving. My budget is around โน25 lakh. I want a 5-seater petrol automatic SUV with good height and strong road presence. Which vehicle would you recommend?
Team, please help. We have shortlisted the Mahindra 3XO AT and the Brezza AT, with a budget of โน12-15 lakh. The car will be used mostly for city driving. We need a spacious and reliable car for a family of 4-5 members. Driving will be calm (no rash driving), and the car will primarily be driven by a lady. Please suggest between these two.
Hi Team. I need your advice on whether the Thar Roxx would be suitable for my usage. I am currently driving a 2015 Hyundai i10 manual and am planning to change it. About 90% of my driving is within the city, with a monthly running of around 1,000 km. The car is mainly used for home-to-office commutes, weekend city trips, and once-a-month highway drives. Now that the Roxx Star Edition has been launched, I am interested in it. Please suggest whether it is suitable for me. If yes, should I choose petrol or diesel? I prefer an automatic, but that will exceed my budget. I have a budget constraint of around โน17 lakh on-road with a BH number. Please suggest other suitable options if the Thar Roxx is not ideal.
Hi, I want to buy an SUV with more power than the Hyundai Creta. The main purpose is to go on trips to the hills - I donโt need serious off-roading. I want a plush, reasonably fuel-efficient SUV; I donโt need a six-seater. My budget is around โน20-25 lakhs. I live in Delhi - does a diesel vehicle make sense for average annual driving of 10-12k km?
Since you want more power than your current Hyundai Creta, the best option for you is the recently launched Mahindra XUV 7XO.
Considering your Delhi NCR location and your limited running of under 12,000 km a year, we would recommend the petrol version. The turbo petrol engine is powerful, refined, and delivers effortless performance, making it a clear upgrade over your Creta.
Given Delhi conditions, we would also suggest the 6-speed torque converter automatic. It is smooth, quick shifting, and will make daily driving far less stressful.
With the facelift, Mahindra has also improved the ride quality, added more features, and overall, the 7XO feels more premium and modern inside and out.
Within your budget, you can go for the AX7 variant, which is well-loaded and comes with all the features you would expect at this price point.
Hi, I want to buy a new car with a budget of โน20 lakhs. I am interested in a full-size SUV, not a compact one, and I prefer an automatic transmission. My monthly running will be around 1,500 km, with about half of that on highways. Which car should I choose?
We would recommend you go for the recently launched Mahindra XUV 7XO. Although your running is not that high, we would still recommend you choose the diesel variant as the petrol engine, though silky smooth and powerful, is not very fuel efficient. And considering half your driving is on the highway, there is an unlikely chance of facing any DPF-related issues with the diesel variant.
The diesel engine is also refined, and the 6-speed torque converter automatic is smooth and quick shifting, which makes city driving and highway overtakes effortless. In your budget, you can get the AX5 diesel AT, which is well-equipped.
I own a 2017 Hyundai Xcent SX(O) diesel that has been driven around 1.07 lakh km. Now I am thinking of changing it. The options in my mind are the Kia Sonet HTK+(O) petrol or the Honda Amaze ZX (MT), but from my research, both feel underpowered due to their naturally aspirated engines. Are there any better petrol options around a โน10 lakh budget? I donโt want to continue with diesel because they are now overpriced and have many emissions concerns. Please suggest.
Yes, you are right. The Kia Sonetโs and Honda Amazeโs 1.2 litre naturally aspirated petrol engines, although fine for city use, will feel a bit down on power for highway duties. Especially compared to your Hyundai Xcent diesel, you own currently. It has a lot more torque; these cars will feel slower in comparison and wonโt really feel like an upgrade.
In your Rs 10 lakh budget, you can look at either the Mahindra XUV 3XO REVX M or the Skoda Kylaq Classic Plus. Both these cars are powered by turbo petrol engines, which give them strong performance, and both are genuinely enjoyable to drive. The Mahindra scores big on cabin space, making it one of the most comfortable cars in the segment for five adults. While the Skoda Kodiaq offers a much larger boot, which adds to its practicality.
If you are looking for better efficiency and a lighter clutch for a more effortless driving experience, you could also consider the Maruti Suzuki Brezza LXi. However, in Marutiโs case, we would recommend waiting as an update is due soon.
Which car would be more suitable for city use and occasional highway driving: the Swift or the Ignis? My budget is around Rs 8 lakh, which can be stretched. Or should I look at lower variants of the Sonet or 3XO?
I own a 6-year-old petrol MG Hector automatic. My budget for a new EV is Rs 22 lakh for a 5-seater. My monthly usage is about 1,600 km. Please suggest the best EV from the existing lineup and any expected new launches.
My daily travel is about 60-70 km in heavy traffic, with monthly usage averaging between 1,440 and 1,780 km. My budget is Rs 20-22 lakh for a 5-seater EV. Please suggest the best car among existing models, or I am willing to wait up to six months for upcoming options.
I am planning to buy a new petrol car for a family of 3 adults and 2 children. I am confused between the Hyundai Venue HX10, Tata Nexon Fearless Plus with ADAS, and Mahindra 3XO AX7L. I want fully loaded features. I live in a village, but the road conditions are good. Second-row comfort is my primary concern. Which is the best choice? Any other suggestions in the same segment?
