Trending Questions on Mahindra Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I want to buy a new car. I have shortlisted three cars: Maruti Ertiga, Mahindra XUV 3XO, and Tata Sierra. I want a petrol model with a manual gearbox, good mileage, good safety features, and the ability to handle both local and occasional long drives. Please advise.
My budget is Rs 20 lakh. I am looking for an all-wheel-drive car as I frequently travel to the mountains and need a safe, comfortable and reliable family car. Safety, comfort and reliability are my top priorities.
I am planning to buy a car. My maximum budget is Rs 10.5-11 lakh on-road. I am looking for an SUV with good performance, 5-star safety, and decent mileage. My monthly usage will be around 500 to 800 km, with a 1,000 km trip every three months. Should I choose diesel or petrol? I like turbo engines. My shortlist includes the XUV3XO Diesel or Petrol MX2, and the Skoda Kylaq Signature. I am concerned about Skodaโs maintenance costs. Are there other options?
As far as maintenance goes, the Skoda's upkeep costs are similar to most other compact SUVs, and even parts are priced competitively due to the high levels of localization. Furthermore, Skoda has provided a service cost calculator on its website to give you an idea of how much you are likely to pay per service.
My monthly driving is around 2,000 km, with 80 percent city usage and 20 percent highway. I want to purchase an SUV for a family of four. I am looking for an economical yet powerful car. I am confused between the Creta SX(O) Diesel AT, Seltos GT Diesel AT, XUV700 AX5 Diesel AT, and Scorpio Z8. Please guide me on what I should buy, as I want a performance-driven car and prefer a diesel over a petrol. The car should be strong in power and handling, and also be feature- and tech-loaded.
Hi. Iโm looking for an automatic car with an on-road budget of around โน15 lakh. It must have a strong safety rating, decent mileage, reliable after-sales service, and affordable, readily available spare parts. Iโm interested in the Tata Sierra but have read mixed reviews about its service and build quality and am unsure how accurate they are. My annual run will be low (about 5โ7k km), mostly on highways. Please advise.
While the Tata Sierra is an impressive-looking SUV, we have yet to drive it on the road and experience its performance.
Also, the price list for all the variants is not out yet, so itโs uncertain which variant will be available within your โน15 lakh budget.
Tata's after-sales and service support does have some catching up to do in comparison to Maruti and Hyundai. If you really liked the way the Sierra looks and what it offers, it would be worth waiting for.
However, if it does not turn out as per your requirements, the Mahindra XUV 3XO in AX5 L variant is very good. It has a smooth powertrain and a good feature list, along with a spacious rear seat and low maintenance costs.
Hi, my daily commute is about 50 km, with one longer trip of 200โ300 km each month. Iโm looking to buy a new car (preferably an EV or diesel) with a budget of โน18โ25 lakh and want premium looks and features. Is it worth buying an EV now, or is choosing a diesel still a wise decision? Please advise.
Buying a diesel does have some level of uncertainty given the constant negativity around it, be it from official statements as to its certified life or restrictions on its usage on heavy air pollution days.
Thus, if you are open to an electric, we would advise you to go ahead with this. Furthermore, your daily running is low, and even your occasional long distances are 300kms which should be manageable with something like the Kia Carens Clavis EV.
The Clavis EV also has a nice and premium interior and is very well equipped in typical Kia fashion. The recently launched Mahindra XEV 9S is also a very good option, again with a premium interior and a good equipment list.
I am ready to buy the XUV700 AX7L. Should I wait for the facelift or buy it now?
The Mahindra XUV700 facelift is due early January, so we would definitely recommend you wait for it.
However, if you are keen on getting a good price, you can bargain with the dealer to get you good discount on the current model. Towards the year-end, customers tend to delay purchases to get a 'newer year' registration, thus dealers are keen to sell cars in December and tend to offer discounts to offset this.
Further with the facelift also due, you could really strike a good bargain. Thus, consider the current car only if you can get a very good deal.
I am a police officer and want to buy an SUV with a budget of around โน11/12 lakh. My job involves some rough driving, and about 80 percent of my driving is on the highway. I plan to keep the vehicle for at least 5-7 years without selling it. I want a diesel car with good mileage, and my daily running is 50/60 km.
Planning to buy an SUV with a 2,000cc engine. Please advise which one would be good.
I want a 7-seater diesel car with good mileage. My daily driving is around 30 km on the city or village roads. Iโm confused between the Alcazar and the XUV700 - which should I choose?
The Hyundai Alcazar and Mahindra XUV700 are both competent SUVs. However, given your requirements, the Hyundai Alcazar would be a better fit for you.
The Hyundai Car is slightly smaller in terms of dimensions, and that, coupled with its light control, means it's easier to drive in the city. It also gets a refined 116hp, 1.5-litre diesel engine that can be had with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. The Hyundai Alcazar mileage is 20.4kpl for the diesel manual and 18.1kpl for the automatic (company claimed).
