See How The Mahindra XUV700 Stands Against Its 7-Seater Rivals

The all new Mahindra XUV700 has surely created a buzz in the industry. Everyone is eager to see it roll out on the roads and see how all its features work. Let’s see how the Mahindra XUV700 stands against its 7-seater rivals like the Tata Safari, MG Hector Plus and the Hyundai Alcazar.

  1. Design

While a choice in looks is something that varies from person-to-person, the Tata Safari and the XUV700 are definitely the two best looking SUVs in the segment. The Hyundai Alcazar also has an excellent design language, but it lacks that SUV like appeal and road presence. According to the numbers, the XUV700 is the largest and the Hector Plus is the smallest in size while the Safari lies in the middle. The MG Hector Plus is also a very handsome looking car, but it would look better with bigger wheels though.

Length 4850mm 4661mm 4500mm 4720mm
Width 1960mm 1894mm 1790mm 1835mm
Wheelbase 2865mm 2741mm 2760mm 2750mm
Ground Clearance 200mm 205mm 200mm 192mm
Height 1845mm 1786mm 1675mm 1760mm

  1. Features

This is a place where Mahindra has taken a huge leap forward. While all 3 cars are amazingly feature-loaded, the XUV700 just stands apart with the dual screens, ADAS, Alexa-enabled system, retractable door handles and a host of safety tech. If you’re someone looking for a full-size 7-seater SUV and you want it to be loaded to the brim with features, please wait for the XUV700. The Hector does get a brownie point for having an electric tailgate.

  1. Engine

Let’s take a look at what’s under the hood of these SUVs.

XUV700 Safari Alcazar Hector Plus
Petrol- 2.0L mStallion, 200HP and 380nm torque.

Diesel- 2.2L mHawk, 185HP and 450nm torque(AX Variants)

2.2L mHawk, 155HP and 360nm torque(MX Variants)

 

Only one 2.0L diesel engine producing 170HP and 350nm torque. 2.0L Petrol producing 157HP and 192nm torque.

1.5L diesel producing 115HP and 250nm torque.

2.0L diesel producing 170HP and 350nm torque.

1.5L Petrol producing 141HP and 250nm torque.

It’s pretty clear that the XUV700 has the most promising numbers from the lot. That coupled with the option of an AWD system makes it the best on the performance front. However, we will still need to wait for it to come on the roads and actually see how it drives and handles.

  1. Third Row Space

While the third row space in all these cars is meant for children only, it is the Tata Safari that will seat them most comfortably. It has marginally more knee space in the third row as compared to the other three.
