Mahindra XUV700 vs Tata Safari - The big battle of the big Indian SUVs | Comparison | Autocar India

[@triloksuryawanshi3971]

That auto dipper feature should be mandatory in every vehicle. Even in city everyone puts on high beam unnecessarily.

[@TheTwinPost]

Since there's an option of switching off that feature... I'm sure all the owners would keep that feature OFF... You know why...

[@TJSaw]

Kudos to Tata and Mahindra. Whatever vehicle you go for, you can be proud of the effort both these Indian companies have put into their cars.

[@rajasekhar9840]

In this segment Indian OEM’s have kicked the butts of Korean(Hyundai) and Chinese(MG) oem’s and showed them how to make quality automobiles. Good to see Mahindra and TATA competing with each other to push limits. I’m just curious to see what updates TATA will bring to Safari in the next iteration to compete with Mahindra.

[@sreejinair]

[@scottb6046]

What happened to Tata in the export market? I quite liked the basic but durable Xenon ute that they previously offered in the Australian market. I would love for Tata to offer a decent pick up truck for the global markets. I wish the Indian brands were more present so that consumers don't have to look at Chinese brands to get value for money. Bring back the Xenon Tata!!!! At least Mahindra still offer the PikUp here.

[@divyamsatle6673]

I am happy to see that two Indian brands are competing with such great cars. I would personally go with XUV as i have a soft corner for M&M but no one can deny the merits of Tata as well.

It doesnt matter who wins this comparo... what is really shocking me is that no one would have thought that we would be able to see this type of comparison 5 years ago...

[@varghesethainan6932]

Safari steering is hydraulic whereas xuv gets electronic type, Safari rear suspension is solid beam, whereas xuv gets multilink suspension, which transfers into better steering geometry with good ride, well engineered by mahindra, though Harrier has better road presence than xuv 5 seater

[@saatwik_saatwik]

XUV 700 AX5 Diesel Manual, on road 19.5! Hands down the best and most VFM car under 20 lakh.

[@RaghavAggrwal]

No matter what, XUV will out sell Safari due to better brand image, engine reliability, better service station experience and resale. Period Respect for Safari but past experience with it left a bitter taste

[@AbhishekKumar-zw8zo]

Finally! Thank you for showing the headlight spread, though not specifically. Please include this in your regular reviews. Sometimes the headlight spread and intensity becomes a deciding factor while buying a 4 wheeler. And none of the reviewers focus on this aspect. Great allrounded comparison on this one. Kudos!

clearly XUV 700 is the winner without an iota of doubt.. Tata safari has one serious ergonomic issue, the cockpit is not comfortable for someone of 5'10'' and above height.

@शिरीष ರಾಮಾಯ any department other than looks you think safari is better. Although that is again subjective as i am not that big fan of extended version of harried look. its priced even higher than xuv but getting less features leave alone the ride quality and comfort.. still if you have doubt about which car is better then may be you watch the comparison again or drive one yourself both the vehicles..

Now both the cars have their own pros & cons. Only the customer's requirements will decide which one is good for him/her.

Harrier looks more serious from outside,the interior in this video looks nice...but tata need to ditch the old school huge bessel infotainment system from all their cars and should introduce new less bessel modern screen with new standard ui and nice touch response...i hate that screen on nexon ,altroz and harrier(that is on everything😂) ....also nexon should get the same meter console as that of harrier,instead of getting tiago's console...
