Upcoming Mahindra cars in India (7)

I have a 2013 Volkswagen Polo petrol, and my parents are retired. I need an automatic car that’s easy for them to get in and out of, with a very comfortable ride, excellent NVH levels and more rear-seat space. My usage is very low, about 5,000-7,000 km a year, mainly in the city, and I plan to keep the car for more than eight years. My budget is Rs 20 lakh. My shortlist includes the Mahindra XUV 3XO turbo-petrol, the Skoda Kushaq 1.0 AT and the Hyundai Creta IVT. I skipped the Kia Seltos because of its size. Which of these is the best, or are there any better options?

My driving requirements are approximately 75–80% city driving, 15% highway driving and 5–10% hill driving. My budget is Rs 10 lakh, but I am also looking out for offers in December and January on previous-year manufactured cars, so I can stretch it to Rs 11.5 lakh if a good deal is available. I need a car that can comfortably accommodate three adults in the rear seat, even if it feels a little cramped. It should also be capable of handling Chennai's traffic, potholes and road bumps. My priorities, in order, are safety, fuel efficiency, engine and gearbox performance, and finally, features, if the budget permits. My current preferences are: 1. Tata Altroz Creative S AMT 2. Mahindra XUV 3XO RevX M (O) 3. Skoda Kylaq Signature Manual 4. Kia Sonet HTK (O) 1.0-litre iMT Please suggest which of these cars would be the best overall choice for my requirements and rank them in order of preference, considering all the factors mentioned above.

I’m looking for a car for my wife’s daily commute. A high seating position for better road visibility, ease of driving in everyday traffic, particularly in congested conditions, and good fuel efficiency are our top priorities. Her daily commute is less than 30km, with occasional highway trips of up to 90km one way, at most twice a month. It would also be helpful if the rear seat could comfortably accommodate three adults during these highway trips. What are the available options within budgets of Rs 8 lakh and Rs 12 lakh (on-road) in Kerala? Should we also consider an automatic transmission? The new car will replace our 2009 Maruti Suzuki WagonR, which my wife loves for its excellent road visibility and easy manoeuvrability. I’m looking for something that retains these qualities while offering a suitable upgrade.

Hi, I have been driving a Hyundai i20 Diesel as my personal car, and we have a Toyota Fortuner for family use. Now, over the next 3 to 4 months, I am planning to upgrade my i20 to an EV for my daily commute. My budget is around Rs 30 lakh. My top priorities are performance, cabin comfort, and good ride quality. Please suggest a good 5-seater EV. I was waiting to check out the Skoda Elroq and Mahindra BE 07, but it seems their launches will involve a wait. Is it still worth waiting given my requirements, or can you suggest currently available EV models from any reliable brand?

Hi Team, I have a budget of around Rs 14 lakh and am looking to buy a compact SUV with a diesel engine. I am considering the Tata Nexon and Mahindra XUV 3XO, but my usage will be occasional. Would you recommend either of these, and should I opt for a manual or automatic transmission? Are there any other alternatives worth considering, preferably at a lower budget? Kindly share your suggestions. Thanks in advance!
