2023 Mahindra XUV700 Summary

Mahindra. It isn’t exactly a household name in Australia. Not like the Toyotas or Nissans or Mitsubishis of the world. But in India it outranks those storied automakers easily with its range of SUVs, like the one we’re looking at for this review.

Those who do know the brand in Australia will probably know it for the long-running and decidedly agricultural Pik Up ute, a favourite of those who need a low-cost farm-ready work tool.

But Mahindra wants to turn its image around in Australia, and break into the mainstream with this latest offering, the XUV700.

The good news is, Mahindra is maintaining the low-cost entry point, as its rivals from Japan and Korea work their way up the price-scale, but does it have what it takes to hold its own in one of Australia’s most hotly contested new car segments? Let’s find out.

2020 Jeep Cherokee Summary

So, you’ve seen the mainstream mid-size SUV players, and you’re looking for something… a little different.

Maybe you’re even looking for something with some off-road ability, and that’s maybe caused you to steer away from segment heavyweights like the Hyundai Tucson, Toyota RAV4, or Mazda CX-5.

Am I right so far? Maybe you’re just curious to find out what one of Jeep’s main models offers in 2020. Either way, I spent a week in this top-spec Trailhawk to find out if it’s the semi-off-roader it looks to be, or if it stands a chance against the mainstream players.
