I'm getting the AX5 in Jan. The drive was excellent, and the 1.2T provides a lot of power when needed. I test drove the AX7L and also found the drive assists annoying. My biggest issue with the car is the small boot. I think the closest competitor is the Citreon C3 Aircross which also has a 1.2T, and comes with the option of 7 seats. Meaning it has a lot of storage space. But 3XO feels more premium and has far better features than the other competitors in the same price range.

[@amartyalive]

Citroen is floop in INDIA, MAHINDRA AT 3rd.

[@KevinPheiffer]

Correction: 5 Year / 150 000Km warranty... I have been driving my AX7L company car (demo model, yes, I work at a MAHINDRA dealership in Pinetown) for a month and a half and I am in love! I average average around 13.4 Km/l (or +/-7l/100Km) and I am astounded at the low fuel consumption for an automatic! More importantly thought is the comfort, gadgets and Harmon Kardon sound System!!! If I close my eyes I would think I was driving and AUDI!

Hello from India. I used a Mahindra large SUV for 11 years - took it all over the country from the coasts to a mountain over 15500 feet. Stayed with the family through everything and anything. Mahindra cars may not be as refined as the Japanese and Koreans but they are reliable and sturdy as a faithful friend. I am current using a Kia - no problem whatsoever but still miss my Mahindra.

You should mention that the MX range and non top of the line AX range does not have the stitching on the dash and door tops. And the top spec has a 65w USB C while the others don't have such a fast USB C. Also, the MX3 is a normal sunroof not this larger "panoramic" one. And only this top spec gets the Harmon Kardon. Also, did you check if the distance to the car in front can be adjusted for the adaptive cruise. All cars with adaptive cruise can do it. You should focus on telling people about what different models in the range omit so they can make better decisions on which model to buy.

[@zeed5764]

Good presentation but quality of your info is becoming poor. The incorrect fuel consumption should have had a flash on the screen correcting the error that it's km/l and not l/100km. That's a serious misrepresentation. The interiors of the models are different - soft touch dash on AX7 only. Not that the other models are bad, but important information. The intrusive beeps won't be present on the lower spec models because they won't have those features. The sunroof size is different on the AX5 vs AX 7. Too much of "eish" and "haai" and not enough quality dialogue. Speak about ride quality, power delivery, if the gearbox changes are smooth, how the manual 'box fares, seat comfort, driving position. I don't thing the steering is Reach adjustable on any of the models - but I stand to be corrected. Important information a consumer needs to know. Or leave a link to a spec sheet from the manufacturer.

The fuel consumption from that car is diabolical, I can't lie. But the physical controls and the (supposed) interior build quality are pretty good. EDIT: It seems Jacob quoted the fuel economy, not the consumption. The figures are actually pretty good for the type of car this is.

It's barely run in. And you can't judge fuel consumption from a short drive with a car that's been driven by multiple journalists.

@@Edog119 Look through the comments, they just corrected themselves. He was stating the number via km/L, not L/100km. He even added that the car went through intensive testing. You should test drive the car yourself and see exactly how "diabolical" the fuel consumption is

[@ivanbantjes]

I test drove the AX7L and the 2 things that put me off: 1. Lag when pulling off from the robot. This car struggles to start going, I have to mention though that once it goes it can go jong. 2. With the automatic you can’t use both the start-stop function and the brake hold. Once you stop the car switches off but when you take your foot off the brake for the brake hold to engage the engin starts up again. Test drove it twice, both salesman said it is possible to use both at the same time but no one could tell me how to do it. I eventually chose the Jetour Dashing 😁

[@SDav21]

Barely run in and multiple journalists plus it was most likely idling quite a lot. You can't judge it based off this.

[@cindyjoshua7367]

Even if it is barely run in.... It should only be about 0.5 better after the first service maximum 1.0 in rare conditions. Did the test with tiggo 4 pro, 7 pro even after software update, omoda and Renault Captur. Most Chinese brands and some Indian and others need some more engine refinement it seems

[@SDav21]

@cindyjoshua7367 No I disagree. My friends have a Tiggo 8 with the 1.6 turbo. For the first roughly 8000 kms they averaged 10.2. Not long after that barrier and 1 long road trip, the car started to average around 8.4. That's almost 2 litres less. The engine even felt more tractable especially after the first service. Toyota needs more engine refinement because our Ravs engine is noiser, less refined and heavier on fuel.

[@cindyjoshua7367]

@SDav21 10.2 is high. My aunt's did 9 to start off with and now doing roughly 8.2 even the guys who work for Chery will tell u it is still heavier in comparison to other brands. But I'm glad yours is like that now. 10.2 is alot

Those who want performance, may prefer this over peers, petrol GDI is peppy engine. 2. Should you buy manual or automatic? Well, if you are opting either petrol or diesel, go for manual. Torque converter in petrol will bleed your money and AMT in diesel literally sucks. Which is the most budget friendly model and value for money? My choice is MX2 Diesel manual, colour black. Manual diesel is just pocket rocket. My choice, I any never opt for AX5 or higher models, why, because it is budget car, right?

Doubt it, the AX5 edges out the XR in features. Otherwise they're pretty similar. Best bet is to test drive both, and decide which you like driving the best.

[@oliverskinner8962]

I'd take the XUV 3XO AX5 MT over the Starlet Cross XR MT the Mahindra is cheaper at R319,000 and you should get much better fuel economy out of the manual as the auto uses a thirsty old fashioned torque converter. You don't get heads up display or 360° cameras or reach adjustment on the steering wheel like you do on the Toyota Starlet Cross but those aren't deal breakers in my opinion ! Edit : but with the AX5 at least you don't get those annoying bings and bongs that's reserved for AX5L and AX7L

The presenter mistakenly provided the wrong fuel reading. According to Indian regulations, all Mahindra cars display fuel efficiency in kilometers per liter. For example 11 km/l is approximately equivalent to 9 liters per 100 kilometers.
