I’m now using a Maruti Suzuki Ertiga VDI 2016 shvs and a Honda Jazz i-vtec. I’m planning to sell both the cars and buy a single one. I’m looking for options between 20L to 30L onroad. I’m interested in XUV 7x0, scorpio n, Thar Roxx from Mahindra. But I am little confused about the Service quality of Mahindra.I avoided Innova Crysta as it doesn’t give the value for the amount which I’m paying. Also, my father does not prefer Safari as its third draw is not usable at all. Is there any other alternative for me in this price range?

Hi, I currently own a 2016 Maruti Suzuki Ertiga VDI SHVS and a Honda Jazz i-VTEC. I’m planning to sell both cars and buy a new one. My budget is between Rs. 20 lakh and Rs. 28 lakh (on-road). The cars I’m considering are the Mahindra XUV 7XO, Scorpio N, and Thar Roxx. However, I’m a little concerned about Mahindra’s service quality. I ruled out the Toyota Innova Crysta because I don’t think it offers enough value for the price. My father also does not prefer the Tata Safari, as its third row is not very usable. The Tata Harrier is also on my list, but I’m concerned about Tata’s service quality. My usage is mixed. Is there a better option available in this price range?

Based on your requirements, the Mahindra XUV 7XO is the most sensible choice. It offers a good balance of space, comfort and performance, and is a significant step up from both your Ertiga and Jazz. The Scorpio N is a more rugged, body-on-frame SUV and is better suited to rough roads and occasional off-roading, but it is not as comfortable as the XUV 7XO for everyday use. It is a similar story with the Thar Roxx, which is more of a lifestyle vehicle. The Thar Roxx price starts at 12.52 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi)Mahindra service has made significant improvements in recent years, and service quality is now largely dependent on the dealership. It is worth checking the reputation of your local dealer before making a decision.The Toyota Innova Crysta is still the benchmark for reliability and long-term ownership, but it is expensive for what it offers and does not feel as modern or feature-rich as the XUV 7XO. Alternatively, consider the Kia Carens Clavis diesel. The engine is refined, it is premium inside, and the third row is better than the 7XO or Safari, though it lacks their SUV-like appeal. Kia service is also amongst the best in the country. Overall, the XUV 7XO is the best fit for your needs and budget.

I am currently driving a Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Delta Mild Hybrid Manual. Most of my driving is in the city, with occasional highway and mountain trips. I am considering MG Hector Plus, Mahindra XUV 7XO, Mahindra Scorpio N, Tata Safari and Mahindra Thar ROXX for my next vehicle. My preference is for a petrol automatic. I would also like the car to be feature-rich and offer strong performance. Considering my usage pattern and requirements, which of these options would you recommend?

Go for the Mahindra XUV 7XO petrol automatic. It suits your city-heavy use, is the most feature-rich here, and its turbo petrol has serious shove for highway and mountain climbs. It is easy to drive in traffic, rides comfortably, and the automatic is smooth. Tech like a 360 camera helps in tight city spots, and the safety and ADAS kit are handy on long trips.One thing to live with: fuel economy in the city will be far lower than your Grand Vitara. Expect single-digit kpl in heavy traffic.The next best alternative is the Tata Safari petrol automatic. It's got a refined engine and a very smooth automatic gearbox. Again, fuel economy will be significantly down on your Grand Vitara, so account for that. The Tata feels tough and packs in plenty of equipment in the top end. Of the others, the Scorpio N and Thar Roxx aren't as comfortable, while the MG Hector's high-speed ride comfort and engine performance aren't great for highway and mountain drives. The MG Hector price starts at 11.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
