Toyota Innova Crysta vs Mahindra XUV700 & Tata Safari: Do You Need An SUV?

The Mahindra XUV700 and Tata Safari are famed SUVs that have built a legendary reputation for themselves in India. Another legend in India is the Toyota Innova Crysta, which is one of the country’s favourite MPVs.
However, the Innova Crysta shares its core DNA with some thoroughbred off-roaders and is based on a ladder-frame chassis with rear-wheel drive.
Contrarily, the SUVs have the more car like configurations here with front-wheel drive. Yes, the XUV700 does offer an AWD variant but most will and have bought the FWD.
So can the MPV out-SUV these SUVs?

Innova feels more rugged and purposeful of the three. It has enough power&torque for the road. It is still a safer car.It has better service support. It has better resale.It is cheaper to maintain. Smaller tires are more economical to replace compared to 18-inch tyres. It sells to large group of families, cab operators, politicians and industries every month & Still waiting period ins't more than 2 months. Where these suvs really shines is with their pricing. We get the top end at the base or mid variant price of the innova. The base model of the innova didn't give the feel of the 25lakh car. The mid variant is priced ahead of the top variants of safari and xuv. The innova should have worked on pricing or make the cabin feel worth 25-30lakh car.

@@reamix7991 xuv comes with mhawk engine that has already run lakhs of kms in scorpios and xuv500 for years and safari has one of the worlds most reliable fca engine , almost at par if not same reliable as a toyota but 3-4 lakhs extra isn’t justified in any cost

[@factfilenews]

I would be confused about which front wheeled 7 seat suv to buy the Tata Safari or the Xuv700. But I would buy the Toyota Innova without a second thought. Why? Because it's built to last.

[@Rama.interiors]

Seen alot of videos and i was confused between XUV and Innova, but then i found this video I’m 100% that i need Innova because of rear wheel drive. 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@kundan-sinha]

After watching numerous reviews and this video cleared all confusions. Getting an Innova 👍 Thankyou for some practical tests.

[@ruchay111]

Cars will come and go .. But the Innova will stay ! Innova is Innova

[@SyedMYahya]

Well said

[@drvinayakchauhan4705]

Very innovative yet practical comparison and surprising results.....reason being frontwheel drive..otherwise the engines of xuv700 and safari are very puncy...fully agree the fact that innova being a hilux offsring, can handle such situations occasionally....but off road strictly not recommended in any 4×2...have seen lot of innova and even fortuner 4×2 stuck.....I own a 2.8 automatic innova ...really love its ride...the torque based crawl of innova crysta without much pressing of accelerator helps in such situations a lot....kudos to the team coming up with so innovative water jug ride...it was hilarious...keep up the good work...

[@cheeseplease1198]

Review of the review: Super-creative! fun to watch! Above all, although these SUVs are known as built for occasional off-road and yet your tests show us how hardcore these cars in their toughness and stability.. Really informative!! I mean we can't get any better simulations to help data driven decision making.

[@ravikakhandki7594]

This is what happens when you use overgrown hatchbacks as SUV. Especially the Safari. If you want to implement a monocoque platform, then copy the entire awd architecture as well.

[@originalstud1]

Safari has land rover platform which has been tested on all kinds of terrain in multiple countries..in this video rear wheel drive made the difference.

GUYES THIS WAS SOO MUCH SURPRISING 😯😯 .I ENJOYED THROUGHT THE VIDEO ,THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST AUTOMOTIVE COMPARISION VIDEO I HAVE SEEN IN THIS YEAR .I OWN INNOVA CRYSTA 2018 G, AFTER SEEING THIS VIDEO I'M FEELING MORE PROUD OF MY MPV.THANKS FOR MAKING SUCH AN ICONIC VIDEO.

I don't care about the features, Innova is the undisputed king. Proud owner of Innova Crysta 2020 facelifted model. Highly satisfied with the car.

[@Abhiram-9090]

Who are saying innova crysta is overpriced now you can see in this video why Toyota takes extra charge

[@PranavShroti]

Nice works guys… pseudo SUVs exposed. Well next gen Innova is rumoured to be FWD… 😀

[@atulpathare2775]

This is one of the best comparisons I have found till date ♥️ Appreciate your team and colleagues efforts 🔥 Thanks a bunch 👍

[@vframed]

Thank you Zigwheels team for proving this point. But, I want you to put safety precautions in place and let an inexperienced FWD SUV owner(someone with a fat pay check but negligible driving skills) to drive through this incline test because, most of the Indian car buyers/drivers lack awareness about these situations and need to learn a lot. If you guys can document it, then every buyer will 'think' before holding the wheel. Great content, Team. Thanks again... Cheers!

[@anjimito99]

How about giving the buyers a schooling aka driving school so that they know what to choose instead of going for add on features (**mostly cosmetic aka sunroofs, futuristic interior design etc )

[@vframed]

@@anjimito99 , True. I guess you missed out that double digit touch screen which will save their lives. LOL... All the time meddling the screen and forgetting to steer the vehicle. *Face palm*...

[@shubhamthokal276]

Safari didn't even stand anywhere 🤣🤣🤣. Would really love to see the XUV AWD comparison with Innova,same tests though. I remember the old comparison between both these legends and would love similar kind of review once again.(may be a sequel)

[@rahulkrish9840]

Tata is pure overrated crap. Apart from the build quality, everything is so Notupto-the-mark here. Engine is the most unethusiastic & gruff. Grossly unrefined. Poor experience overall. Tata runs like a govt company with asshole Ass & dealership experience.

Can zigwheel make similar type og test with Thar and Gurkha. Or even more intense and intersting. Let's wait.
