Trending Questions on Mahindra Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
Hi Team, I’m planning to buy a new car under ₹12 lakh (on-road) as it will be my first car, and it should comfortably seat five members. My daily drive includes 2–3 office commutes per week (about 20 km round trip), weekend drives twice a month (100–200 km), and a quarterly home trip covering about 2,000 km round trip. My priorities are: 1. Build quality 2. Comfort and features (I like features) 3. Mileage (preferably diesel) Please suggest three cars that suit my needs.
My running is around 2,500 to 3,000 kilometres every month. I currently drive an i20 CRDi diesel and have covered 3,70,000 kilometres over the last 15 years. Which would be a better choice for me, a strong hybrid or an electric vehicle? Should I wait a little longer for better models?
An electric vehicle will prove to be far more economical for you if you primarily plan to charge it at home. Most new-age EVs like the Mahindra BE6, Hyundai Creta EV and Tata Harrier EV can comfortably handle highway trips of around 300–400 km on a single charge. So yes, if you have access to home charging, an EV would be the better choice for you.
My monthly usage is 1500 to 2000 and mix of city and highway 50-50%, my budget is 9 to 12 lakh, currently using a Figo diesel, which car to buy?
Given your relatively high usage, with half of it on highways, we recommend sticking with a diesel car. Within your budget, the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX3 Pro 1.5 Diesel MT would be a great choice. It offers a solid and robust feel along with a punchy diesel engine, similar to what you experienced with your Figo.
I would like to purchase a new car, and I am 65 years old. I previously owned an XUV700 AX7L petrol. I am looking for a car with good suspension and a well-appointed interior. I’m also open to considering an EV. My budget is around Rs 30 lakh, and my yearly running is about 6,000 km.
In your price range, the XUV700 remains one of the best options. However, if you want something new, consider the Toyota Innova Hycross Hybrid VX — it offers a spacious and premium cabin, excellent ride comfort, and outstanding fuel efficiency.
On the EV front, the Mahindra XEV 9e Pack Two (79kWh) is a great option, while the recently launched VinFast VF7 Sky Infinity AWD is also worth considering for its strong value proposition.
I am confused between the XUV 700 AX7 Petrol AT and Innova Hycross GX(O) 7 seater. We are a family of 3 with limited city use and occasional highway trips. Main priorities are safety, comfort and a silent cabin. Does the Hycross feel as solid as the XUV? Also which is better suited for carrying 6 people and luggage for a weekend getaway?
Both the Mahindra XUV700 and the Toyota Innova Hycross are strong on safety, with the XUV700 scoring a full 5 stars in GNCAP and the Innova Hycross earning 5 stars in BNCAP.
Toyota offers a more spacious cabin, a better third row, and more luggage space with all rows up. The Mahindra, however, has a more powerful and refined turbo petrol engine compared to the non hybrid version of the Hycross.
Is Mahindra launching the XUV300 diesel automatic in 2025? I am not referring to the 3XO but the older XUV300 design. Please help, would it be a good change after the S-Cross diesel 1.3?
The old XUV300 design will not return, as the Mahindra 3XO is its facelift and replacement. Since you are looking for a diesel car, options that offer an upgrade in features and a similar size include the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. If you prefer a Mahindra, you will need to stretch your budget slightly and consider the XUV700, which also comes with a diesel engine.
Sir, I currently own two cars, a 2022 XUV700 diesel manual and a 2024 BMW X1 diesel. We are a family of five, and I plan to keep only one car since maintaining two is becoming difficult. Which one should I keep, or should I sell both and opt for a new one? I’m confused. Please advise.
It would make sense to keep your BMW X1 and sell the Mahindra XUV700. While the XUV700 is cheaper to maintain and offers the added flexibility of a third row, the X1 is newer, has a more premium cabin, provides adequate space for five people, and carries the advantage of BMW’s brand value.
I am single and looking for a fast, comfortable 4x4. I currently own a Thar but want something better. One vehicle that can do it all: high-speed highway cruising, off-roading, travel anywhere, and remain reliable, comfortable, and no-nonsense.
At a slightly higher budget, the Mahindra Thar Roxx fits your requirements well. It’s far more comfortable than the three-door Thar, both in seating and ride quality. While the ride is still a bit firm, it’s significantly better than the three-door version. It also offers a large boot. Overall, the Thar Roxx is a versatile SUV that suits your needs for highway cruising, off-roading, and everyday use.
New car: Mahindra XUV700 or Hyryder. Which one should I buy?
It depends on your usage.
If you frequently go on road trips or do a lot of highway running, the Mahindra XUV700 will suit you better. It has a more spacious cabin, comes with three rows of seats for added practicality, and offers more powerful engines, including a diesel option.
The Toyota Hyryder, on the other hand, is more compact. Its efficient and strong hybrid powertrain makes it better suited for city driving. The Toyota is also more accessible in terms of price.
My budget is ₹11 lakh. I want a petrol manual car with good safety and features. Which car should I go for?
The Skoda Kushaq in the Signature variant and the Mahindra 3XO AX5 are both great options. Both have scored a full 5 stars in the BNCAP crash tests and are enjoyable to drive. The Mahindra 3XO is the better five-seater thanks to its wider cabin, while the Skoda Kushaq offers a much larger boot.
