Outlander felt quite sluggish when compared to the XUV700. XUV700 is my pick as it's got a better engine and transmission, panoramic sunroof and cheaper.
Higher sitting position is actually rather preferable in suvs. I also think the infotainment system in outlander is no match to Mahindra which is developed by Bosch. I do agree the navigation system should have been included which is offered in the native country and is very well integrated. One thing I wish was covered in the review is ADAS which definitely gives xuv an extra edge. XUV is a 5* GNCAP rated last time I checked.
That's not a bad point, but Global NCAP standard are lower than those of ANCAP, so the two are not directly comparable. A five-star G-NCAP score would not result in a five-star ANCAP score. In terms of ADAS both cars have forward collision warning and forward autonomous braking, blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, adaptive and cruise control. The Mahindra has tyre pressure monitoring and a 360-degree camera where the Mitsubishi does not, but the Outlander counters with AEB that includes forward pedestrian and cyclist detection and low-speed reverse AEB, driver attention monitoring, hill descent control, and trailer sway control that the Mahindra does not.
@@hero9500tttI just can't understand how they compare a full featured version at budget price with a no frill edition. And these are auto journalist...numpties.
The reviewer should talk about space for an average person and not for oversized people like him. How many people are above 6 feet in height? If automakers make cars for people like him how will it work for shorter people? Also it's weird he is sitting in knees up position in second row of Mitsubishibut seems so happy
We have to pick a winner... Not everyone gets a prize. The Mahindra has a lot going for it, make no mistake, however in the context of the Australian market, there were just a few more areas where the Mitsubishi excelled.
@@Drivecomaumight be your opinion but dont agree to it. XUV has better looking interiors and a more powerful engine too. The steering is light and easy to use.
To clarify, the XUV 700 has a Global NCAP rating - this is a less stringent set of tests designed for developing markets (like India and Africa) and misses out on a number of the more advanced tests performed by ANCAP, the Australasian New Car Assessment Program. A 5-star G-NCAP rating is not the equivalent of a 5-star ANCAP or Euro NCAP rating, and as that's the standard we assess to in the Australian market that's what we've reported here.
@@KumarKumar-fc2gc As an Australian channel, we use ANCAP (Australasian New Car Assessment Program) as a benchmark. Because safety test practices vary around the world, we don't make implied connections between different global standards. ANCAP tests include full frontal, front offset, side impact and side pole tests, all of which aren't included in the Global NCAP tests, along with different ratings and included basics for driver assist technologies. Global NCAP is a developing market standard, and is helpful in raising safety standards in countries where such such programs have not previously existed, but it's not yet the equal of more developed safety assessment procedures.
It sounded like bias review to me. Because face the same height problem with tailgate of the Mitsubishi but didn’t pointed that out also he had more headroom because Mitsubishi has no sunroof otherwise I think both headroom would been the same also Mahindar has physical controls and touchscreen for the Ac but he only pointed out the touch one and said it’s nice to have physical controls in Mitsubishi also I have my doubts on the leg room think because it looked like Mitsubishi driver seat was placed more in front what a joke of review I can’t trust this review. 😡
@@iBlogGadget it’s not about that if you are highlighting a drawback in one car the second one has the same drawbacks you should highlight that for example tailgate height. The same goes positive thing for example ac controls.
We always appreciate feedback and while we strive to bring the most comprehensive and fair reviews, we know that not every point can be covered in a small amount of time. For a more comprehensive look at these two you can read the detailed review on our site.
@@iBlogGadget Clearly biased review: 1) XUV 700 AX7L AT Petrol gets 450Nm Torque not 380Nm 2) The mileage is 13-15kmpl in city and 15-17kmpl on highway not 9kmpl as u claim 3) The 2nd row seating review was a clear biased review, it was visible that you had pushed the driver seat all the way back to reduce space in the second row 4) The reverse parking camera was clear as day, idk how u think that is poor quality 5) You pointed out hard plastics on Mahindra's dash but not on Mitsubishi's 6) The Mahindra clearly has a much more better interior than the Mitsubishi but yeah that is irrelevant 7) "Door doesnt open as wide", seriously?
Let's be frank when you do not get authorized by a standards organisation in this case ANCAP safety rating then it is hard to believe something is accurate. Mahindra should get it done to get that trust from consumers. GNCAP is good but when selling in a particular Country you should abide to local standards.
The Mahindra has a five star Global NCAP rating, which isn't the equal of a five star ANCAP rating, the standard that we hold new vehicles to in Australia. GNCAP performs less tests and lacks the full frontal, front offset, side impact and side pole tests that are part of the ANCAP assessment. A five star Global NCAP score is not the the equal of a five star Euro NCAP or ANCAP result.
@@AshishBagade-hv4el It doesn't have one. The XUV700 is untested by either ANCAP or Euro NCAP so its safety standing against the relevant criteria is unknown.
Good to see Indian brand is competing with Japanese brand. Mahindra should fine tune the suspension/comfort level noted here. Also provide the ANCAP rating soon. Aus high cost of living and interest rates, extra $7k in the budget is challenge to many. XUV700 provides lots of features, reliable and is great value for money for a big family on a tight budget.
Yes when real wages are down, lower priced but highly equipped options are very enticing for Aussie families, who may not care about soft touch materials and exciting/highly polished driving dynamics. They ust care about safe reliable transport with a warranty, and having enough money left to actually live on.
They also care about reliability, cost of parts, dealer network, and resale value. Sure it’s cheaper now but when you go and sell both the Outlander will hold its price better so in the end it comes out better value.
Seriously.......the screen is made by the same manufacturer who does the screen for Mercedes and you still found so many flaws in the infotainment system.... very biased
The maker of the screen isn't the issue. It's the software driving it. You're not getting a Mercedes-Benz-like experience in the XUV700. There's no bias here, we're completely independent - there are however callouts worth mentioning, and this is one of them.
Our editorial reviews aren't paid for. Neither brand has paid to appear in this comparison. You may like to know that, as an Australian site we used ANCAP safety tests as our baseline. While the XUV700 has a five-star Global NCAP score, that's not the equivalent of the Australasian New Car Assessment Program. Global NCAP is a developing market score which does not include the full frontal, side impact and pole impact tests that are assessed by ANCAP and Euro NCAP, meaning five stars from Global NCAP is not the equivalent of a five-star ANCAP or Euro NCAP rating.
Just so we're 100% clear, the XUV700 hasn't been tested by Euro NCAP. It does have a Global NCAP rating, however it's crucial to note that G-NCAP standards are far less stringent than either Euro NCAP or ANCAP, which test a greater range of crash test scenarios meaning the results are not interchangeable.
That particular cvt is notorious for sluggishness and bad fuel economy, you should test drive before really considering outlander For me i wouldn't pick both of the cars, rather stick to good old rav4 or subaru xv
Only one thing i don't like about XUV700 is it's seat color, as they are offering only one color cream which is not quite good if you have kids. They should offer other colors as well.
Forgive the indians in comments, for they are only able to speak because someone decided to make internet cheaper and most people can type in English. They still need to learn to take constructive criticism and understand that not everything is a matter of national pride. For me, the fact that a Mahindra is even being compared to a well established Mitsubishi Outlander itself is an achievement and Mahindra should surely do well in the future.
Nope it's your stalkholme syndrome.. call spade a spade.. no one is saying outlander is not a better car.. but XUV is not as bad as it has been portrayed and value for money car when compared... I have an outlander for last three years drove cuv once in a while and high rider as well.. I can see what everyone is talking about... you see...when people are not as smart as they think.. they sound more like disgrace.
Seems Indians are rallying behind their brands, its commendable.... But we are not Indians and the mitsubishi just has a cool factor, maybe mahindra is cool in India. Mahindra messed their brand image by selling those hedious pickups, most of their early models had looks only a mother would love, thats why they became a laughing stock outside of India, even if they make good cars recently, there is still that hurdle to overcome. Back in the day, if someone wore ugly shoes/boots, people would say he is wearing mahindra, mahindra was synonymous with ugly. I have to admit their recent models xuv500/700 are quite good, but would take a mitsubishi or nissan, even if mahindra offeres those cars with bughatti engines and power.
To clarify, the XUV700 doesn't have an ANCAP rating, the equivalent of a Euro NCAP. Global NCAP uses a different, much less stringent test standard, so isn't comparable to the criteria used in Australia, New Zealand and other parts of the world as it's been designed as a starting point for markets with much lower safety standards like Africa and India.
I advice not to waste your hard earned money on Mahinda and regret after 2-3 years. Many of my friends who purchased Mahinda because it's cheap and got engine gearbox issues after few years... Mitsubishi outlander is the one go to...
