I own a XUV700 AX7 L AT for close to a year. It’s perfect combination of luxury and performance. I never thought I would buy a Mahindra but XUV 700 changed my mindset about M&M.A great car with hardly any negatives.

[@PrinceTMATHEW]

I work in a construction equipment MNC and our vehicles also tested in mahindra test tracks.After saw their tracks and testing methods,I choose to buy mahindra XUV over Innova. Their test drivers are amazing too

[@2901gagandeep]

Comparing them to the Chinese brands, they lack a bit in the tech department. But they have a style of their own unlike the copycat Chinese brands.

[@Krishnendu792]

They have originality, unlike any Chinese brands. Those mhawk and mstallion engines are built from ground up by Mahindra.

[@Model1822]

What tech are they lacking?

[@topbrands7010]

Mahindra actually managed to price it below the estimates. This was not expected.

[@rajTrondhjem10]

Interesting to see Mahindra has come a long, long way.. Well, more competition in this segment down under is always good for the consumers. Hoping TATA would follow on this path and bring their vehicles to Australia as well 🇦🇺

[@VMRDY]

Compared to the XUV700, the Tata Safari and Harrier are low tech and more expensive. The only updates Tata gives them is new colour schemes.

When the Australians don't shy away from telling it as a Merc, you know their multi-country testing, development and design paid off

[@apurvasuri6383]

Mahindra put their heart and soul into the development of XUV 700. They didn't compromise on performance for frugality in the 2.0 petrol engine. XUV 700 is a quality product from the Mahindra stables.

While the petrol m-stallion is great their diesel m-hwak is a beast. It's so refined powerful and efficient. The tuning they did in Scorpio N ( rear wheel drive) is better than in XUV 700. Both cars will do well in Australian market for sure.

@@M8YM8 Sure, the Scorpio N is not as big and not as powerful as the Prado. But the Prado is disproportionately expensive compared to how much better it is than the Scorpio N. The GXL Prado is 71% more expensive than the top-spec Scorpio N in Australia, but only slightly bigger.
