Tata Safari vs Hyundai Alcazar

I currently own a Hyundai Venue 1.2 petrol. I am considering for an upgrade and my requirements include a 7-seater petrol or diesel automatic SUV under 25 lakh (on-road) with 80:20 city to highway ratio with maximum 15,000 km annually. Can I consider electric as well. What would be your recommendation? I am considering XUV 7X0, Safari or the Alcazar but I'm open to other options as well. Thanks in advance.

Hi experts, I have a query regarding our next family car purchase. We currently own a 2008 Hyundai Santro that has covered around 77,000 km so far. My parents are now planning to upgrade to a more spacious 7-seater. A few points about our usage: • We are a family of four, so the third row will remain folded most of the time and will primarily be used as additional luggage space. • Our annual running is quite low. • Around 70% of our driving is on highways. • We intend to keep the new vehicle for the next 10-12 years. The shortlisted models are: * Mahindra XUV 7XO AX7 Petrol Manual * Mahindra Scorpio N Z8 Select Petrol Manual * Hyundai Alcazar Prestige * Tata Safari Adventure X Plus Petrol Manual One concern that is making the decision difficult is the possibility of higher ethanol blending in petrol in the future. We are not considering a diesel vehicle because our low running could lead to DPF-related issues. Considering our usage pattern, long-term ownership plans, and concerns about future fuel standards, which option would you recommend and why? Thank you in advance for your guidance.

I’m planning to keep my next 7-seater for 8–10 years. My annual running is around 12,000km, mostly on the highway, although the car may sometimes remain parked for 3–6 months because I work abroad. My budget is around Rs 18 lakh, with some flexibility of another Rs 1–2 lakh, and I prefer a manual. I’m currently considering the Hyundai Alcazar Executive petrol, Alcazar diesel and Mahindra XUV 7XO base/AX3 diesel. The XUV 7XO is a large and heavy car, so I’m concerned that the petrol version may not deliver good real-world fuel economy. The Tata Safari petrol is also on the list, but I have some concerns about Tata’s after-sales service. My priorities are long-term reliability, real-world mileage, maintenance costs and overall peace of mind rather than just features. I’m also considering the implications of E20 petrol and potential DPF/AdBlue-related issues with a diesel car that may sit unused for several months. The XUV 7XO’s lower variants also have a long waiting period, whereas Hyundai is currently offering a Rs 1 lakh ex-showroom discount on the Alcazar. I’m currently driving a 2008 Maruti Suzuki SX4 petrol manual. There are six adults and a toddler in the family. Considering all these factors, which one would you personally buy in this situation, and why?
