Questions you may find useful

Hi Team, I am currently driving a 2020 Maruti Suzuki Baleno and am planning to upgrade to an SUV. My shortlisted options are the Honda Elevate, Tata Harrier, and Mahindra XUV 7XO. My daily drive involves around 35 to 40 kms in heavy Bangalore city traffic, along with occasional highway trips. My primary priority is a car with a solid 5-star safety rating, along with good ride comfort and easy city drivability. Coming from a lightweight hatchback, I am looking for an option that offers a clear step up in safety and space without feeling overly cumbersome during my daily urban commute. Could you please evaluate these three models based on my usage and suggest the best option and engine-transmission combination for me?

Hi sir, Among xuv 7xo and tata harrier, ride and handling wise which car do you think is better? Which one is better in handling bad roads and has good handling at highway speeds? What is your pick. My usage will be primarily as a 5 seater. Would be great if you can do a short comparision of pros and cons of both these cars? I am planning to go with diesel automatic.

Need buying advice - XUV 7XO, Seltos, Harrier or Safari? Hello Everyone, I’m planning to replace my 2021 Maruti Suzuki Brezza (clocked 50000 km) and would love some guidance. My usage: Location: Chembur, Mumbai Office commute (3 days/week): -50 km round trip (Chembur-Airoli) Approx. monthly running: 1,000-1,200 km Regular weekend drives around Mumbai/Lonavala/Alibaug, with 8-12 outstation trips a year and 1-2 native (Konkan) trips annually. Family of 3, with parents and in-laws joining us on majority of trips. I also have a left knee ligament issue, so an automatic transmission is a must. I’ve test-driven the Kia Seltos Diesel AT, Mahindra XUV 7XO Diesel AT, and Tata Safari AT (only petrol was available for the test drive). I’m currently confused between the Seltos, XUV 7XO, Harrier and Safari. One additional challenge is that my apartment has a mechanical puzzle parking system. The parking platform is quite tight, although there is a 5.5 m driveway opposite the parking slot to help with maneuvering. So overall dimensions and ease of parking are also important. My priorities are: Reliability (8-10 years) Comfortable suspension Rear seat comfort Strong highway performance Good service support Easy city drivability Which one would you recommend based on my usage? Are there any ownership experiences, reliability concerns, or other SUVs in the 25-30 lakh budget that I should seriously consider? Thanks in advance!

Your usage is almost tailor-made for a modern diesel. At 1,000-1,200km a month with frequent highway drives, weekend trips and annual drives to the Konkan, you'll comfortably justify the diesel and shouldn't have to worry about DPF-related issues. The Kia Seltos Diesel Automatic also strikes the best balance for your requirements. It is the easiest of the four to drive and park in Mumbai, which is particularly important given your apartment's tight puzzle parking. It has a refined and efficient diesel engine, a smooth automatic gearbox, a comfortable ride, a premium cabin and one of the strongest service networks in the segment. It should also prove to be a dependable long-term ownership proposition.The Mahindra XUV 7XO Diesel Automatic is a close second. It offers more space, a more powerful engine and feels like a bigger, more substantial SUV. It is also the more accomplished overall product when compared to the Harrier and Safari, offering a better balance of performance, features, technology and overall package. The only drawback is that it is physically larger than the Seltos, which may become a hassle in your parking situation and while navigating Mumbai's streets.The Harrier and Safari are excellent highway cruisers with comfortable ride quality and spacious cabins. However, they are considerably larger than the Seltos, and when compared with the XUV 7XO, the Mahindra is the more complete package overall. Unless you specifically need the Safari's third row, we don't see a compelling reason to choose either Tata over the Mahindra.
