I have this car and I never noticed the boot issue. The only thing that kinda annoyed me was figuring out the child lock but other than that it's a great car and I love it so far

[@MotoringAndTechWorld]

That’s awesome Sibongile. How long have you had the car for? What fuel consumption are you getting?

[@diaryofnricom163]

Can you even pack a weekly grocery shopping in this? Boot looked very small when I test drove it, even after extending trick mentioned here. Thanks.

[@piyushjain6896]

I am from India having both XUV 300 and 700 , trust me sir these two cars are unbelievable, they provide comfortable ride quality as well as with decent mileage. Also they have enough features as compare to other cars in the segment. Also Recently launched XUV700 has got 5 starts in GNCAP with the award of as safest car of India .

[@MotoringAndTechWorld]

That is really great. I am hoping to be able to review the 700 soon. Keep an eye on my channel. Thanks for contributing to this discussion.

[@diaryofnricom163]

I test drove this in South Africa and while it drives great, I found boot too small. It doesn’t look like one can fit even 1 large travel bag or weekly grocery shopping. I wanted to buy this car so what a pity.

[@BABA-GOMI]

No Indian reviewer ever showed us that sliding boot tray, so we thought 259 L was it's boot space, but now thanks to your video i know how it increases to 288 l. Love from India.

[@MotoringAndTechWorld]

Thanks for watching James. I am so glad to hear that you found my video insightful. Do you own a Mahindra XUV300?

[@BABA-GOMI]

@@MotoringAndTechWorld No , but I'm considering this segment. So Kia Sonet, Tata Nexon are in the fray. Tata Nexon Diesel beats this one on price, ground clearance, boot space and milage, even more value for money zxplus model. You should check it out if it's available in SA, otherwise You Tube has a ton of info.

[@MotoringAndTechWorld]

@@BABA-GOMI Lots of competition in this segment. I am not familiar with the Tata Nexon. Kia Sonet is good. The Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Toyota Urban Cruiser are also quite popular. If you have not already, can you please subscribe to my channel? Thanks James.

[@MotoringAndTechWorld]

@@BABA-GOMI sounds good. I will check it out.

[@ballshurt69]

@@MotoringAndTechWorld actually tata nexon is an indian car, and i dont think it is sold outside, according to me tata nexon is better value for money than xuv300, and safe too, (indian cars nowadays are known for their safety, like even the cheapest cars are much safer than the competetion)

[@MotoringAndTechWorld]

Yes true I guess only time will tell. The same with Chery and Haval. We will just have to wait and see how it performs over a longer period. Thanks for pointing out about chapters. If chapters are included in a video, do you make use of this often? Does it help when you watch a video? Do you actually view the chapters on the video screen or in the description box below?

Impressive vehicle, drove a xuv500 a few years ago, needed a bit more refinement. Your camera seemed to have been inverting several times during the video making it look you were in a left hand drive car, was this deliberate?

[@MotoringAndTechWorld]

@@MotoringAndTechWorld Beautiful cars. Way I look at it is 355K gets you top of range XUV300 W8 but if you just drop 45K more, you get stunning Tiggo 4 Elite SE edition. 50K over 7 years hardly makes much difference if on loan.

[@MotoringAndTechWorld]

@@diaryofnricom163 your point makes sense. The value proposition on the Tiggo 4 Elite is really great and hard to look away from. Are you currently looking for a new car?

@@MotoringAndTechWorld Yes, l am. Also looking to test drive Tiggo 4 next week or so. Have test drove XUV 300 already and loved it except for the tiny boot. It will be choice between either Mahindra XUV 300 or Tiggo 4 as of now unless there is other better car in same range. Might have to go for XUV as top of the range petrol (new) costs 334K but saw some low mileage cars for 270K.

Diesel is more fuel efficient. It depends on how many passengers you want to be transporting. Is a 5 seater fine or are you considering a 7 seater as well?
