I bought Mahindra XUV700 AX7L, Super Luxurious, Solid Car.

[@SDav21]

I think the Mahindra will feel better simply because it has a turbo charged engine which makes way more power and torque than the Hyundai. This is especially important in most of the provinces at higher altitude where the naturally aspirated cars feel unbelievably sluggish. Although, you can still get a Chery Tiggo 4 at these prices which is still better than both.

[@shivakumarbv6100]

Not only that, exter is cheap build. It's just 3 star safety rated. XUV 3X0 is 5 star rated. It's built like a tank

[@arnabsyt]

Chery Tiggo is ugly

[@keithkenny4576]

I recently bought a Suzuki Baleno 1.5 glx. It drives well and has a lot of extras that other cars don't have. Yet all is not a rainbow with Suzuki and this is just my opinion. Firstly the HUD option is a nice to have and all it offers is on the dash between the speedo and tach meter. The car does NOT come with auto locking doors a critical safety feature in South Africa The infotainment system is not bad but lacks RDS to keep you tuned to the radio station with AF, There is nothing more frustrating while driving and the station fades away because your frequency changes all the time, you have to keep resetting the station either stopping or while driving. Two main safety features I would add in all cars and keep out the nice to have options...

[@davidroyisaac3369]

A tyre pressure monitor is a better feature to have as well.

[@pulakprakriti]

Actually Mahindra 3XO is a segment above Hyundai Exter. The Exter is in the same segment as Tata Punch.

[@zeed5764]

The Exter will sell initially because of Hyundai badging and curiosity but will ultimately fail for the same reason the Honda WRX did - that 1.2 engine. In South Africa, our runaround car is our only car - this needed a 1.6 or 1.0 Turbo engine. Watch how the Venue will eventually die because of pricing. Hyundai making some unwise marketing decisions. The new Mahindra is a win! Ticks all the boxes. It will be the one that builds the Brand in SA.

The Venue also came in a 1.2, which didn't sell well - and has poor resale. Maybe the Exter will do better - we'll have to see. Baleno/Fronx - 1.5 engine = great sales.

It seems like the Mahindra is better value for money especially since it has a turbo charged engine. The Exter may feel very slow and sluggish by comparison.

[@AyandaMarcus-th8ku]

Please do a full review of both, they really look good

[@mornerobins]

Unfortunately, the headrest on the Exter does not have an adjustable headrest. That is a problem when the headrest ends at the base of your neck. Surely, it could not have been that expensive to include an adjustable headrest

[@DavetheCarGuy]

Interesting! One's at the office currently - will check the headrest for you.

[@mornerobins]

@DavetheCarGuy my worry is that in case of a rear-end crash, there is no support for your neck and head. I am not even tall. I would take an adjustable headrest over the tire pressure sensors.

[@DavetheCarGuy]

@@mornerobins I checked, good spot! And I agree, lose the sensors for better headrests.

[@TheAvela]

Mahindra 82kw 200nm, vw t cross 85kw 200nm.

[@michaelstorm5299]

...but for the T Cross's price near the R500K range, you can buy two Mahindras. Since most car buyers do not look at price, like you, why not opt for a BMW X3?

The answer for me in this price bracket is still a Fronx, you still get alot of spec per rand than even in the Mahindra.

[@VishalYadav-yx3un]

Yeah fronx is a good option but what about safety that is better in mahindra .

[@mindfreeze0838]

@@VishalYadav-yx3un that isnt exactly proven. While the NCAPS havent rated it yet you still can get 6 airbags(yes its on the glx which isnt the best)and esc, abs and ebd which is still quite good. Plus in the home market they have to pass a govt mandated 50kph crash test in order to be sold.

@@BubblesTheCat1 which would you say in your opinion is the most reliable in these brands and how would it stack up to a Toyota

[@BubblesTheCat1]

@carllourenznaidoo2470 The Hyundai will be the better one of the two, but get rid of it before it reaches 180-200k kilometres. They'll never hold up for 300 to 400 thousand kilometres like a Toyota can. Not without major repairs like rebuilding/replacing the engine and transmission. People (even car journalists) come on here and tell me two to three year old cars are wonderful, fantastic, and ultra reliable 🙄 How on earth can you tell the long-term reliability of a vehicle that's 2 or 3 years old?? Unfortunately, only time will tell.

[@manavalanp2123]

Mahindra Body on the frame vehicles are pretty reliable like the scorpio. 3x0, xuv700, and all are comparatively newer models, so too early to tell

[@derekwoolley9729]

The Hyundai will be greatly under powered and will feel it with 4 passengers. Mahindra with 200Nm will be able to handle middle to long distance diving, however spares availability in SA is an issue.

[@eddiesales4412]

I took an Exter for a test drive the other day. Really nice, solid little car. Judging by the i10 sales, the Exter should be another winner from Hyundai. I also drove the top spec XUV3XO on the same day, but I'd rather steer toward a Hyundai product again because I'm brand loyal I guess.

looking at the term of 5 years ahead, how are you going to sell this vehicle in 5 years? people should not buy new petrol/diesel cars now, it is a very bad investment, rather look at electric, get solar for your home to charge it up for free. the new vehicles hitting the market right now has 1000km range and even more with that type of range what else do you need..

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

@@beewest5704 you wont be needing a charging station at all, charge at home using solar... :) when the 1000km range EVs hit the market next year, the fossil fuel cars are history... for us here in SA the fast charging stuff will come, withing the next 5 years we will have to be there because of global pressure. but as i said you wont be needing those unless you are driving more than 1000km at a time.. and there are already fast chargers in most major cities. so for long georneys you are covered as well have you seen the drop in fuel price? wait till end next year, the oil companies are going to be begging countries to buy oil because of the surplus.. (this is from the EV market impacting the international market) also a huge note, China the largest vehicle manufacturer in the world selling like almost 40% of the global market in vehicles (only electric) they dont sell fossil fuel cars any more at all, Nissan closed 5 factories globally and others are in emense trouble because of their surplus in vehicles (they dont know what to do with them, nobody wants them any more), the international fossil fuel market is dying rapidly, in the next 2 years the market sales for fossil fuel cars will be down to something like 20-30%.. but there are guys doing much more research than i do on these things, take a look at The Electric Viking on youtube, he is totally on top of this with all the facts. regarding the teslas catching on fire, have a look on Elons responce to those videos and the claims, there is a lot of fake propaganda out there, btw, if you look at the amount of petrol/diesel vehicles catching on fire you will be totally blown away at the statistics of that and even the chance of those catching fire.. far by far higher than electric vehicles... tesla is one of the most safest vehicles to drive in every way.. but dont put down other eV makers, this is serious business the tech is amazing. No im holding out, finishing my last fossil fuel vehicle payment now, then planning to convert my current vehicles to electric, since i dont owe any money on them then..
