Trending Questions on Mahindra Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am looking to buy a new car with a maximum budget of ₹10-15 lakh. I want a car with a 4- or 5-star safety rating that delivers a decent fuel average. My usage will be mostly on weekends, with a maximum of 500-700 km per month. I want an automatic car, but not an AMT. My shortlist includes: Skoda Kyalq Signature Plus/Prestige TC 3XO AX5L Tata Nexon Creative Plus PS Dark 7 DCA Please suggest the best option.
Unfortunately, none of the turbo petrol options you listed will be very efficient. Given your limited running, this should not be a concern.
We would recommend choosing between the Skoda Kylaq and the Mahindra XUV 3XO. Both are engaging to drive, offer strong turbo petrol engines, smooth 6-speed torque converter automatics, and a comfortable ride.
The key difference is space. The Mahindra is the better five-seater thanks to its wider body, while the Skoda offers a larger and more practical boot.
The Tata Nexon remains one of the highest-selling cars in the segment, but it is also among the oldest and is due for an update.
Hello, I’m looking to buy a new automatic car, preferably an SUV, with a budget below ₹15 lakh. My usage will be mostly within the city, with occasional inter-city trips. I want good rear-seat legroom and do not want to compromise on safety. A 5-star rating with ADAS Level 2 is preferred. Please suggest a suitable model. Thanks.
I am planning to buy a new car within a budget of Rs 20-22 lakh. My preference is Honda/Toyota/Kia, and Mahindra cars. Should I go for 7XO/Seltos or should I wait for upcoming models from Toyota or Honda? Please suggest. Also suggest between 7XO and Seltos.
I am not able to decide between the Scorpio-N and the XUV 7XO. I like the road presence and commanding seating position of the Scorpio-N, while I prefer the interior and features of the 7XO. I am looking for a top-end diesel variant with automatic transmission, and my budget is ₹30 lakh. What can we expect in the Scorpio-N facelift, and when is it expected to be launched? Please advise.
An update for the Mahindra Scorpio N is expected this year. The changes will likely include a tweaks to the styling as well as feature enhancements inside. We expect a larger touchscreen and an uprated sound system to be part of the updates.
There won't be any changes to the engine and gearbox options. But Mahindra could move the Scorpio N to the Thar Roxx's chassis, bringing in advancements in ride comfort and refinement.
There's no clear timeline for when the updated Scorpio N will launch. So if waiting is not an option, the XUV 7XO is the easy pick of the two Mahindra SUVs. It feels more sophisticated and polished in the way it drives, and it packs in lots more features, such as the three-screen layout. Being a large SUV itself, the XUV 7XO is not short on road presence in its own right.
I am planning to buy a new 7-seater SUV. It should be powerful. My daily driving is hardly 15km. Which SUV would you suggest?
I am planning to buy a petrol automatic car for a family of 4, mainly for city use. My budget is under ₹15 lakh, and I do not want to compromise on safety or performance. Please suggest a suitable option.
Hi, I own a Mahindra XUV 3XO AX5 petrol manual. My monthly driving is around 2,000km. I purchased this car due to my high highway usage, but its fuel efficiency is low. Should I consider switching to a more fuel-efficient car that also offers decent safety? Please suggest.
I am planning to buy an automatic petrol SUV and am confused between the Mahindra XUV 7XO AX7T and the Tata Sierra Accomplished Plus. Please help.
Hello. We are looking for a new 7-seater for our family that will mainly be driven by my 65-year-old father. The monthly running will be 800-1000 km, mostly city driving. We want comfort, good performance, decent mileage, and easy-to-use controls rather than too many tech features. Our budget is ₹25 lakh. We had shortlisted the XUV 7XO and XEV 9S, but all the controls on the screen are difficult to use even for me. Now we are confused between the Safari diesel and petrol variants regarding mileage, maintenance cost, and more. Could you please suggest other options and help clear our doubts?
Go for the Tata Safari turbo-petrol. It is far more suited as a seven-seater than the Mahindra XUV 7XO, due to a more spacious third row. Also, the Sierra's touchscreen and user interface are far simpler than the Mahindra's, which can feel a bit overwhelming, at least initially.
While we haven't extensively tested the Safari turbo-petrol, expect single-digit fuel efficiency in urban conditions. It is expected of such a large SUV. If running costs matter, then you could consider the diesel version instead.
Relatively smaller and easier to drive 7-seater options are the Hyundai Alcazar and Kia Carens Clavis, which come with turbo-petrol and diesel automatic options.
I owned a 2015 Mahindra XUV500 and now I am looking for a new SUV in the ₹15–17 lakh range with basic features like automatic transmission and a touchscreen infotainment system. I’m confused between the Thar Roxx MX3 and the Mahindra XUV 7XO. I dream about the Thar, but the XUV is also a good option. Please suggest which one I should buy.
Unfortunately, you won't get a Mahindra XUV 7XO automatic in your budget, and the most affordable variant is around Rs 20 lakh on road.
The Mahindra Thar Roxx MX3 petrol AT 2WD will fit in your budget, and if that's the SUV you desire, you should go for it. You're right in saying it has just the basic features, but that still includes a touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and many other creature comforts.
Plus, the combination of petrol engine and torque converter automatic is smooth and punchy - if a little heavy on fuel consumption.
