    I think the reputation of Mahindra as a regional, rural car maker is casting a shadow on the new cars it is launching in Australia. The opinion in this review certainly carries a lot of baggage in that regards and doesnt really represent the actual worth and quality of this car. The feedback this car is getting from all over the world wherever it has spent some time is amazing. With time, when the public actually gets its hand on it, it will be a hit in Australia.

    Cheapest 5+2 medium SUV in Australia with a good design, build quality and great warranty. Its top of the range is still $5k cheaper than the bottom of range X-trail and $11k cheaper that comparably equipped X-trail. Perfect model to penetrate Aussie market. BTW, I found it odd that they launched this car in Australia with same Indian firmware showing some Indian Apps and mileage in km/l instead of l/100km. These small things shouldn't be ignored.

    Guys .. trust me or not you can check the demand for this car in India ,we have still around 1lakh outstanding booking yet to delivered and waiting period is around 18 months , I got it after 11 months after booking .. BTW it’s not cheap , it’s affordable and value for money .. let me give some pros and cons I own this beast diesel AWD top of the line in India .. Pros : Fantastic road presence and handling , the electric steering come very handy . Adaptive dampers - it works like a charm .. ADAS - one of the cool feature . Interior - comfortable and good ambient interior - mostly it’s a merc influence Engine - please drive and check the refinement.. it’s a punchy engine 200hp , 380 NM in petrol , in India we have diesel 185Hp , 450 NM .. both engine refinement is top notch and also diesel NVH is as similar to petrol .. 12 speaker Sony - vow it’s first in class for Sony yo can check they launched this tech first in xuv700 in India at this price point top line diesel AWD , it’s around INR 33 lakhs (60k aud ) Fuel economy - Petrol - 8 to 9 kmpl ( city ) 11 to 12 kmpl ( highway ) Diesel - 11 to 12 Kmol ( in city ) 14 to 17 kmpl ( highway ) Cons : ventilated seats missing Auto dimming IrvM missing Auto tail gate - Atleast they would have added this 3 features when they position it internationally- may be tats one reason they call it cheap .. These features is not a deal breaker for me ,However I would have been happy with a tailgate since it’s pain in the ass while entering into my office most of the time .. bTW am happy to see our Indian brand presence in Australia and other countries as well .. please feel this car and it’s quantity , I can see yo mentioned cheap , if yo dint mean that way it’s fine or else pls don hurt us utter those words .. if don like it’s fine we will sooner learn and come up with more sophisticated machine to compete with ..

    Thanks for the thorough comment, great to hear you are enjoying your new car. Using the word cheap isn't a negative for me. This is the cheapest seven-seat car in Australia at the moment, and I think the review conveys that it's good (especially for the money). I prefer not to use words that can sound like marketing or advertising terms, 'cheap' is accurate in this case.

    Cheap doesn't have the same meaning all english speaking countries, in some countries it can be derogatory, in some like Australia it isn't. From the review i think it's a great car, but the reality is that new European and Japanese cars offer much much more in that segment. The biggest advantage Mahindra has is that it costs less than any of it's competitors, and i guess thats what Mahindra is targetting anyways outside of India, to be the "most affordable". Another big difference is that western countries usually have much lower taxes so a 60k USD car offers you much much more than a 60k car in india and thus western customers are very spoiled when it comes to cars, the specs of the XUV700 are not impressive at all, it's a common spec even the smallest cars have here.

    All of this looks slick. Wait, till you start getting electronic glitches. Mahindra still has some way to go before they give us a polished product. Its still not a mature product, maybe in a few years but not yet. A great first attempt by Mahindra though. The engine is impressive and transmission smooth. The light colored interior is a bummer and will soil easily. They also need to work a bit more on the clunky suspension.

    @@Drivecomau Yes, we absolutely do not like the word "cheap". I can tell you a story about this. In January 2008, a car named "Tata Nano" was launched in India for a price of 100,000 Indian rupees. At that time, the starting price of cars in India was 500,000 to 600,000 rupees. Tata Motors' main goal was to make a car that could be afforded even by the poor and middle class, and that's how the Nano came. Everything went perfectly from the engineering team, and the output was good. However, the sales department advertised it as the cheapest car ever made, which led to the failure of the car. Later on, we realized our mistake and started respecting the Tata Nano. So, obviously, we hate the word "cheap". A better term would be "affordable".
