Hycross may be 10 to 15% expensive but when it comes to engine, service, quality of materials etc. is the best. Most importantly Hycross will fetch almost buying price when you sell it after five or 10 years, Other two will get 20 to 50% of buying price.
At present which is better to buy 1. Tata Safari Adevnture + A AT : On road 29.6L or 2. XUV700 AX7 (D) 7 STR AT: On road 26.7L (because of offer going on) or 3. Innova Hycross VX Hybrid 8 STR : On road 33L. Please suggest
nahhh hycross missed it here....toyota's engine is reliable no doubt on it but mahindra's engine is also good in reliability and the mHawk and mStallion are just beasts when it comes to performance and smoothness/refinement. Hycross interior quality is just so bad it starts rattling just after a few thousand of km. even the infotainment/ cluster of hycross have so many bugs it just randomly shuts down after 2-300km sometimes
XUV scores equally good in all these parameters. 5 year old Innova will sell for 75% of purchase price, 5 year old XUV will sell for 70% purchase price but a 5 year old tata wil struggle to sell for 50% purchase price.
@@Sourav_2k03 reliability is a thing that actually comeout after 7-8 yrs of driving the car or 1.5 lakh km of driving it. Toyota has proved it . Mahindra has alreday issues with XUV 700 with 2-3 yrs
I dont understand how cabin space is not a deal breaker for XUV700.. if its 7seater then it should spaciously seat 7ppl. Otherwise compare the XUV700 with the Harrier instead. Sliding 2nd row in Safari beats XUV700 out at start itself. it makes no sense to call XUV700, ScorpioN as 7seaters when 3rd row is so cramped and 2nd row doesn't slide.
They did not talk about single unique features of Xuv 700 like Auto booster headlamps,Door handles,the adrenox app and this app is very useful as it can let us control car without our involvement in it like if in summer season due to so much heat car got heat up so Xuv700 can be controlled with its app as you can turn on Ac before you go inside of it,if you lose your key then you can use your app as a key for unlocking you can even start the engine ❤❤😊😊
I have driven all 3 of them and also own a hycross for the past one year and I can say this keep my bias aside that i only cared about infotainment features and options in its early days once you fine tune infotainment to your liking, most likely you wont even look at it ever again and that’s why i simply love the hycross. And the biggest point for me is the drivability of the innova is superb. Its sport mode on the highway makes it a whole different car altogether and i just love driving it in ghats, highways, narrow lanes basically just everywhere!
Yes infotainment system is not important. The engine, ride quality is more important. I have had more fun in Alto 800 than my petrol Nexon simply because of the fun engine
@@logn-yt7037Suspension is the best thing hycross and I have driven all three .In XUV 700 it is so soft that you find side body roll even on plain road , engine is powerful I agree
After watching these comparison discussions my decision is going with Safari as it fits all of them and more than this Interiors and Exteriors look is a bonus 😍because safari has everything which XUV 700 has yeah a little bit nervous for the engine and 4 wheel drive but still going with because a brand i can trust for quality. 🙌
Zigwheels, do capability test of the Safari. Being a FWD, many people in the hills are apprehensive of buying it. This includes those who don't really plan to go offroading but need to tackle occational muddy roads and landslide damaged roads.
Toyota hycross cheap quality in all areas including built quality Indian tata and Mahindra is best for quality Hycross has 3rd row and boat space rest is with Mahindra and Tata Tata safari fresh and luxury look Mahindra for performance and city driving All cars has good resale valve
Tata should have kept it as Gravitas and made it a rival of XUV and launched another 4x4 product to compete with Scorpio N which could be named as Safari❤
However, I would still bet my money on toyota when it comes to cars above 30lakhs. Though I own 2 Tata cars and happy about them, service centers doesn't value your investment. I have seen them carelessly handling safaris ansd Harriers which are an emotion to customer. Toyota has the best professionalism in this. Maybe when Tata launches a harrier /safari EV with a real-world range of 600kms I will definitely buy that
It is the age old issue with Tata. The engineering team is fine but the service section is like a government office. Sarkari attitude runs deep. Not even having company owned showrooms (Concorde) could fix it.
if someone spend some time back to back in crysta and hycross, it will be crystal clear to him/her that hycross is not even 50 percent of how solidly put together the crysta feels. So I doubt it will be as tough/long lasting as crysta. But I m 100 percent sure of amazing resale value that hycross will enjoy
bhai har koi resale krne k liye car nahi leta. logo ko looks, features, value ,safety bhi chaiye hoti hai. har koi ye soch ke nahi leta ki kal ko ise bech dunga
No one will mention the cheap interiors of the Hycross & it's rattling issues. Is that due to any reason? Instrument cluster of Hycross stop working after 500kms😂. Is that the reliability all these talking about??? 😂
Very well detailed review. Its a close contest between XUV and Safari in many terms but the lack of engine variants may not work well for safari. Both are great cars though.
Thanks guys for a fantastic well rounded comparison video. Really helpful! I have a quick question- Id say 95% of the time my car would be used by less than 5 people and thus im considering to get a 5 seater. What would you say about the 2024 Harrier Dark vs Safari? I had hoped to see a minute or two on this comparison in your video. So do you guys not consider Harrier as a ‘Big Boy’? :p
Glad you liked the video! Given your use case, the Harrier seems more sensible, especially considering the Harrier has a sizeable cabin for the times you do want to seat 5.
Xuv - Fun to drive Safari - Features Hycross - comfortable and actually practical 7 seater Slowly you realize Safari and Xuv are not actually 7 seaters. They can make for good 5 seaters, but a creta or seltos can also make for good 5 seaters.
Great convo and so many fine points discussed here. Question: I am contemplating buying an xuv700 AX7L Petrol AT and plan to drive it in Bangalore. City use may be 300 too 400 kms a month and highway about 450 a month. Will the Petrol automatic be a really bad choice given its a gas guzzler? I mean what is the expected mileage in city traffic? Thanks.
Thank you! Depends on your drive cycle, but realistically in peak hour traffic, you will be looking at 7-8kmpl, maybe 9-10kmpl if you have slightly better flowing city traffic (based on our experience and owners we've heard from in different cities). Highway should be in the territory of 12kmpl. So whether or not it's the right choice depends on how much you're ok with spending on fuel every month
Thanks! So any other 7 seater that I am looking at i.e. petrol as my usage is not much and since diesel has its own niggles plus less refinement as compared to petrol, do you agree that petrol might be best if the daily run isn't too much? Also what are my other options in petrol vis a vis xuv in petrol as in how much extra mileage would the nearest 7 str AT automatic offer?
so, Tata's are not very well known on the quality of fit & finish of things at large is what I have heard on the internet. There was a mention on wait time of innova and no top models available, so the maruti badged invicto steps in there for that purpose and giving a lower price too
But will you pay 30 lacs for a maruti? I won't. I'd rather get the hycross for 35 lacs. The maruti brand is not strong enough to command such a price, even though they have the BEST after sales network, even better than Toyota.
Both are awesome Utility vehicles. They are actually products to be very proud off as an Indian. Providing world class safety, features and looks. Maybe the performance or Fit and Finish might not be able to match up with roboticly manufactured German cars that have super narrow tolerances for errors but Indian Industry catching upto this level is phenomenal. Within a decade we might surpass or breakeven the manufacturing quality of german cars without increasing too much of complexities. Also, local manufacturers need to enhance the aftersale services, since this has a huge potential in continuously making the customer feel bad for choosing thw product and associating oneself with the company. We also need to stop this racist behavior of believing that Jeep, or VAG are better or high class (this includes Toyota too) and support our local manufacturers.
hycross is not even an suv, it's an mpv. why are you guys even comparing it with suvs. and by the way you said that the xuv is missing some features, could you tell which ones coz i doubt it misses out anything. xuv is a perfect suv in true sense. safari is a front wheel drive pseudo suv. so technically you guys are comparing an suv, a pseudo suv and an mpv which doesn't make any sense.
We are comparing vehicles available at similar price points. You may not compare them because you consider them as different vehicle categories but most people buy cars based on what meets their requirements with how much they can spend. The XUV700 has the option of all wheel drive, but save for those specific variants, it's a monocoque front wheel drive car like the others
6:20 that “wow feeling” dissipates when the car starts throwing random errors here and there and will break down and Tata will fail to identify and rectify your issues - a tired ex harrier owner 🙂
We are family of 4 adults and 2 kids and you think how much luggage do we need to take for a trip. But neither xuv nor harrier has boot space to accommodate luggage for even 1 day for 6 members..! Its Hycross which has good boot space! Also there is nothing can be done if we choose captain seats in Xuv or safari bcoz anyway last row seat have to be folded to keep luggage in both xuv and safari and thats they both become a 4 seater now🥲 max 5 persons with 1 folded seat and moreover 1 person have to sit alone at 3rd row with luggage in near folded seat.. werin Hycross all 6 persons can comfortably sit along with good amount of luggage!! Thus we chose hycross for our 6 member family!! And i guess even Hycross average interior quality can withstand on par with xuv and safari as while test driving i noticed two buckles in seat came off in safari in new car. Moreover while resale value after 10 years Hycross sure will sell 10 lacks more than xuv and safari does so Verdict Investing now on Hycross is worth it!! What do you say ?!!
You raise some very valid points. And this is why we don’t declare one car as the “winner” because that depends entirely on the owner’s use case. The Hycross is the best fit for your specific requirements and you are correct to consider it the best pick for those reasons. Similarly, many people buy these big cars but mainly because they want a car that’s large, has strong road presence, premium quality, features or performance where a different option would fit the bill better.
In terms of service quality and reliability 1. Hycross 2. Xuv700 3. Safari Both Tata and Mahindra need to improve their service and product quality. We have shown our love to Indian car makers, now it’s time for them to work on their quality and customer service.
Tata Safari anytime.. but where the #ToyotaInnova surpasses is the service, 3rd row seating & service guys experience. If #Tata just improves its service part then no one would look for anything else.
great video , it would have been even better to have more points on after sales and service and weigh those in also , nowadays bikes or cars , it is quite hard to get them wrong but after sales service and long term reliabilty is the name of the game and would love see dedicated sections on those along with the bells and whistles the cars come with from the showroom floor.
Hi. It's a wonderful comparison video, answering almost every aspect needed. I would like to know the comparison in the headlight throw quality. Which car gives better visibility at night on highways and if possible in rainy conditions. Headlight throw has been an issue with new LED system in almost all top end cars of all manufacturers. I own a kia seltos GT line, planning to upgrade to either of the above compared cars. I would like to get your verdict over my question if possible, be it in comment reply or on a video comparison. Thanks and regards.
Excellent analysis and presentation styles both of you have.really like the content that zig wheels is putting out.I booked the petrol xuv700 ax7l automatic and then drove the safari and was completely taken in by the presence and sense of occasion as you mentioned.i booked that too😂.now i am wondering which one to cancel.heart says safari head says xuv.would love to have you weigh in on the matter to make it more clearer for me 😅
If i am buying a big car for my family i want it to be comfortable reliable spacious luggage space…gud on average for gimmics i will buy a sedan or small suv
No other cars comparisons to Toyota in terms of built quality and reliability. I have had bad experiences with Tata and Mahidra and their services as well. I hope they improvise their services to customers and be more professional in executing trust to their customers
Those who tell that the innovas outlast all the other cars.. are you a damn taxi driver? Who even drives the same car for lakhs and lakhs of kms bro..are you are poor to not afford an upgrade? Just get the xuv enjoy the power and other features till it last and sell it! Get a new recent car! That’s a wayy better strategy than buying one boring car and driving lakhs of kms on the same thing
All of these opinion fails when comes to family... I bought the safari... Rear ventilation seat are just... Boom plus that looks.... Soooo good.... That no body can say it's looking ugly.... And power doesn't matter as with family we travel between 80-90 km/hr and everyone knows... 😄😄
I agree with the point about the Toyota having the worst infotainment system. It is the same case with the Fortuner, the infotainment screen and especially how the front tweeters are mounted, it looks like it is some cheap aftermarket system fitted from Karol Bagh. The infotainment is not intuitive, ut is laggy and the sound quality is horrendous despite supposedly having a sound system tuned by JBL. This is very sad because a lot of Toyotas sold abroad have great systems. P.S. I know a lot of toyota fanboy sheeps will swarm under this comment to ridicule it (while owning a second hand maruti dzire). For those people, all I have to say is, use your brain for once, and you'll know what I'm saying about the infotainment system is true.
Automatic in all 7str version of the 3 cars start frm 19Lkhs ex-showroom. in that case of same price point, do you want to compare Tata, Mahindra to a Toyota ? Something is seriously wrong with these people.. And the Innova Crysta is there for everyone, why would they go for a Mahindra actual 5str ? Toyota goes minimum 3Lkhs mileage with proven reliability.
Toyota pays its engineer while others are paying the designers...tata pls make your own engine and Mahindra pls get rid of that 2.2 and build a 2 ltr..for better pricing...Toyota is a far more superior product for Indian customer
The quality finish in safari is the worst.The glitch in the infotainment system and digital driver display and even the alignment of panels in steering is not proper.The after sales service is poor as they don't have trained technicians.The reliability of safari is doubtful compared to hycross
XUV is by far most satisfying to drive. I have driven all three but xuv is most responsive and fun to drive
surely but it does not feel like driving a suv,it doesn't it feels like driving a tiago the one i have,handling is lighter than Safari/Harrier
@@axe8039tiago has 200hp and 400nm torque?

This video is the best of all the comparison videos of XUV700/Hycorss/Safari! Extremely thorough as well!
Hycross may be 10 to 15% expensive but when it comes to engine, service, quality of materials etc. is the best. Most importantly Hycross will fetch almost buying price when you sell it after five or 10 years, Other two will get 20 to 50% of buying price.
Mahindra will not specially in up and bihar where suvs are skyrocket
Hycross has maruti suzuki body 😅
After driving all 3 cars here is my analysis
1. Most fun to drive car- Xuv700
2. Most comfortable second row - hycross
3. Most good looking - safari
Umm most good looking is also xuv 700 imo
In Tata it’s the harrier!
At present which is better to buy
1. Tata Safari Adevnture + A AT : On road 29.6L or
2. XUV700 AX7 (D) 7 STR AT: On road 26.7L (because of offer going on) or
3. Innova Hycross VX Hybrid 8 STR : On road 33L.
Please suggest
Ax7L D AT
If overall space is your utmost priority go with hycross for sure
You are comparing 2 5 seaters with one 7 seater.
There are other good 5 seaters in the market as well.
After car service ??
Resale value??
Reliability???
Toyota 10/10
Agreed
nahhh hycross missed it here....toyota's engine is reliable no doubt on it but mahindra's engine is also good in reliability and the mHawk and mStallion are just beasts when it comes to performance and smoothness/refinement.

hycross is not even an suv, it's an mpv. why are you guys even comparing it with suvs. and by the way you said that the xuv is missing some features, could you tell which ones coz i doubt it misses out anything. xuv is a perfect suv in true sense. safari is a front wheel drive pseudo suv. so technically you guys are comparing an suv, a pseudo suv and an mpv which doesn't make any sense.
We are comparing vehicles available at similar price points. You may not compare them because you consider them as different vehicle categories but most people buy cars based on what meets their requirements with how much they can spend. The XUV700 has the option of all wheel drive, but save for those specific variants, it's a monocoque front wheel drive car like the others
Even the XUV is a front wheel drive monocoque Crossover much like the Safari. None of them are SUVs.
6:20 that “wow feeling” dissipates when the car starts throwing random errors here and there and will break down and Tata will fail to identify and rectify your issues - a tired ex harrier owner 🙂
Safari ❤
Service issues of all 3cars were not discussed as that is the main concern
We are family of 4 adults and 2 kids and you think how much luggage do we need to take for a trip. But neither xuv nor harrier has boot space to accommodate luggage for even 1 day for 6 members..! Its Hycross which has good boot space! Also there is nothing can be done if we choose captain seats in Xuv or safari bcoz anyway last row seat have to be folded to keep luggage in both xuv and safari and thats they both become a 4 seater now🥲 max 5 persons with 1 folded seat and moreover 1 person have to sit alone at 3rd row with luggage in near folded seat.. werin Hycross all 6 persons can comfortably sit along with good amount of luggage!! Thus we chose hycross for our 6 member family!!
And i guess even Hycross average interior quality can withstand on par with xuv and safari as while test driving i noticed two buckles in seat came off in safari in new car.
Moreover while resale value after 10 years Hycross sure will sell 10 lacks more than xuv and safari does so Verdict Investing now on Hycross is worth it!! What do you say ?!!
You raise some very valid points. And this is why we don’t declare one car as the “winner” because that depends entirely on the owner’s use case. The Hycross is the best fit for your specific requirements and you are correct to consider it the best pick for those reasons.
Similarly, many people buy these big cars but mainly because they want a car that’s large, has strong road presence, premium quality, features or performance where a different option would fit the bill better.
In terms of service quality and reliability
1. Hycross
2. Xuv700
3. Safari
Both Tata and Mahindra need to improve their service and product quality. We have shown our love to Indian car makers, now it’s time for them to work on their quality and customer service.
Lovely discussion 😊
Thanks a ton!
All the 3 cars are legendry
Battery renewal costs of HyCross after 8 years ?!
Tata Safari anytime.. but where the #ToyotaInnova surpasses is the service, 3rd row seating & service guys experience. If #Tata just improves its service part then no one would look for anything else.
great video , it would have been even better to have more points on after sales and service and weigh those in also , nowadays bikes or cars , it is quite hard to get them wrong but after sales service and long term reliabilty is the name of the game and would love see dedicated sections on those along with the bells and whistles the cars come with from the showroom floor.
So xuv700 makes more sense then? Am i right sir?
Hey tushar- besides the video- what’s your height man?
6.5ft 😀
Hi. It's a wonderful comparison video, answering almost every aspect needed.
I would like to know the comparison in the headlight throw quality.
Which car gives better visibility at night on highways and if possible in rainy conditions.
Headlight throw has been an issue with new LED system in almost all top end cars of all manufacturers.
I own a kia seltos GT line, planning to upgrade to either of the above compared cars.
I would like to get your verdict over my question if possible, be it in comment reply or on a video comparison.
Thanks and regards.
Xuv has better light throw among all while hycross being the poorest in throw
Innova is gem it is very comfortable❤❤❤❤
Excellent analysis and presentation styles both of you have.really like the content that zig wheels is putting out.I booked the petrol xuv700 ax7l automatic and then drove the safari and was completely taken in by the presence and sense of occasion as you mentioned.i booked that too😂.now i am wondering which one to cancel.heart says safari head says xuv.would love to have you weigh in on the matter to make it more clearer for me 😅
Now the price onroad of all top end model xuv700 is 30 l,,safari 35 l,innova 40 l,,xuv700 is top selling out of all
You guys don’t speak about the after sales service experience and buying experience , which might reduce points for Tata Safari.
If i am buying a big car for my family i want it to be comfortable reliable spacious luggage space…gud on average for gimmics i will buy a sedan or small suv
You missed out a comparison of the headlights. It is an aircraft versus a car versus a candle. No prizes for guessing which is what...
4x4 nai chahiye. For 5people. Kaunsi leni chahiye. ??
Clear all rounder xuv700 will rule and trendsetter for this decade
No other cars comparisons to Toyota in terms of built quality and reliability. I have had bad experiences with Tata and Mahidra and their services as well. I hope they improvise their services to customers and be more professional in executing trust to their customers
Yea I also
Hycross for me and my future child 🙏
Those who tell that the innovas outlast all the other cars.. are you a damn taxi driver? Who even drives the same car for lakhs and lakhs of kms bro..are you are poor to not afford an upgrade? Just get the xuv enjoy the power and other features till it last and sell it! Get a new recent car! That’s a wayy better strategy than buying one boring car and driving lakhs of kms on the same thing
All of these opinion fails when comes to family... I bought the safari... Rear ventilation seat are just... Boom plus that looks.... Soooo good.... That no body can say it's looking ugly.... And power doesn't matter as with family we travel between 80-90 km/hr and everyone knows... 😄😄
Now the only thing on which Tata seriously need to work is Reliability and after sale service. People need peace of mind after spending 30+ lacs.
I think our guys like Innova from starting to end
I agree with the point about the Toyota having the worst infotainment system.
It is the same case with the Fortuner, the infotainment screen and especially how the front tweeters are mounted, it looks like it is some cheap aftermarket system fitted from Karol Bagh. The infotainment is not intuitive, ut is laggy and the sound quality is horrendous despite supposedly having a sound system tuned by JBL.
This is very sad because a lot of Toyotas sold abroad have great systems.
P.S.
I know a lot of toyota fanboy sheeps will swarm under this comment to ridicule it (while owning a second hand maruti dzire). For those people, all I have to say is, use your brain for once, and you'll know what I'm saying about the infotainment system is true.
Automatic in all 7str version of the 3 cars start frm 19Lkhs ex-showroom. in that case of same price point, do you want to compare Tata, Mahindra to a Toyota ? Something is seriously wrong with these people..
And the Innova Crysta is there for everyone, why would they go for a Mahindra actual 5str ? Toyota goes minimum 3Lkhs mileage with proven reliability.
Yeh hyrader kaha compare ker li......... Yeh muv type hai na ki suv
Service always and still a big NO for tata, nah nah with Mahindra, and good to go with Toyota😢
Xuv 700 hands down
New Hycross looks like a 2nd hand vehicle from inside
Should have included crysta 😢
MotorInc Compitetor is here
No chance
Toyota pays its engineer while others are paying the designers...tata pls make your own engine and Mahindra pls get rid of that 2.2 and build a 2 ltr..for better pricing...Toyota is a far more superior product for Indian customer
The quality finish in safari is the worst.The glitch in the infotainment system and digital driver display and even the alignment of panels in steering is not proper.The after sales service is poor as they don't have trained technicians.The reliability of safari is doubtful compared to hycross
I feel the day XUV700 launched, Safari got killed. Also Harrier
