iam planning to buy safari or 7xo , but i had heared that 7xo have more Regen issue than Tata safari, can you please check and confirm so i can choose perfect car

I'm planning to buy a new 7-seater manual with a budget of around Rs 18 lakh. My current preference order is: Tata Safari Petrol, Mahindra XUV 7XO, Mahindra Scorpio N, and Kia Carens Clavis. My annual running will be around 12,000km, mostly on highways, but the car may remain parked for 3-6 months at a time. I plan to keep it for at least 7-8 years. My biggest dilemma is petrol vs diesel. Petrol is my first preference because of my relatively low running and the long periods when the car will be parked, but I'm concerned about E20 ethanol-blended fuel. On the other hand, these are large and heavy vehicles, so fuel efficiency is also important. I'm considering diesel for its better mileage, but I'm worried about the long-term reliability of the DPF and DEF systems if the car remains unused for several months. What would you recommend?

Hi I want to purchase car which one is better XUV 7XO or Tata safari

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!

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?
