All said and done, which one of these would you put your money on?

Proud owner of 1st Gen Innova, 18yrs and its still the king in MPV Segment. HYCROSS ♥♥♥♥♥♥

After watching this video I am happy and convinced on the decision I made to buy Kia carens. For me comfort and mileage were my first priority and I can confirm that Kia carens satisfied me in both these aspects. I switched from Skoda to Kia last year and I am completely happy for choosing Kia Carens. Below are some of the benefits/advantages I have experienced from Kia Carens in my last 1 year usage. I have drove exactly 25,000 km in 1 year 2 months. 1. Good space. Easily can accommodate 5 adults and 3 kids 2. Very comfortable ride 3. Excellence mileage. I get 16 in the city and more than 20 on highways 4. Very good AC 5. Good after sales service. 100x better compared to Skoda 6. Good boot space compared to other 7 seaters 7. Good headlights. Very powerful and definitely better than my previous car 8. Good brakes. Had experienced few times. 9. Parking assistance with sensors. 10. Sunroof which my kid enjoys the most 11. Cruise control which is extremely useful on highways 12. Decent music system. Initially not very impressed but now adopted to it and enjoying 13. Better ingress and egress 14. Ventilated seat which is really useful in this hot summer 15. One of the best diesel engines in the market now. Same smoothness as petrol engine.Haven’t experienced any difficulties with full load. Have done long drives on hills with 6 adults, 2 kids and full luggage for 5 days vacation. It was very comfortable and never faced any issues in terms of power. Downside. 1. Bad suspension. 2. Body roll 3. Not very useful wireless charging 4. No wireless carplay or Android auto 5. Not impressive build quality. Even my 6 yr old kid is able to open the door easily whereas in my skoda even adults used to struggle to open as it was too heavy 6. No 360 degree camera

Don't know about the present day cars. But the OG Innova is in a different league. My father bought it in 2011, uses it daily and has an odometer reading of 3.25 lakhs. Still no body rattles, no engine issues. Even now use it for long road trips without any issue, and might be controversial with the craze for features, it has the necessary features needed. Really a great product, something my father is still not willing to part.

Scorpio N shoudl have been taken too! On a cheaper side, XL6/ertiga could also have been taken in my POV. A great 1 hr vid! Watched it straight and it was a delight to watch!

Brilliant comparison but you should have included Hector Plus. I do have the Alcazar 2.0 petrol auto though not meant for enthusiastic people it does it’s job. I do agree with squeaky noises here and there but features are on par and is comfortable for city rides. For reliability and long term - Innova For VFM - Carens For sheer power - XUV700 For presence - Safari

Background- own a hycross and had booked (now cancelled) XUV700 as well My $ 0.02: 1. XUV700- while diesel is the most pragmatic option, but with an impeding migration towards cleaner fuel, seems a risky proposition- petrol while a hoot to drive is definitely not pocket friendly given the single digit mileage. Plus, still a bit hesitant in putting 30 lacs on a mahindra. Last, but not the least, space is still on the lower side especially in the boot given that it’s a 7 seater Safari- fit and finish issues, no petrol and cumbersome to drive Hycross- compromise on finish, quality of plastics for sure- but in return what we get is fantastic and usable space, quiet cabin, better fuel economy, rock solid Toyota reliability and a peaceful 15 years stint with no prospective emission related issues- and that’s what TODAY’s UPPER MIDDLE CLASS WANTS! hence chose the hycross and loving every bit of it! All round Practicality triumphs drivability for a 40 year old me 😄

Innova has got legacy of 7 seater and no one can beat it. 🔥

The way Shirish sir present his view on any automobile is just above top notch.

XUV700 IRVM,AMBIENT LIGHTINGS,SEAT VENTILATION only things i see missing out those would have made xuv700 best in the segment

Every time I hear Shirish speaking, it’s a joy! It’s like a song sung blue! Another amazing content, and it’s great to see that the Mahindras remain unbeatable

Excellent comparison. I think Kia has made the Carens an excellent car. Value for money, loaded with features and spacious. Hycross is desirable but way too expensive. Might get a Carnival at Hycross price

When it’s come to driving experience and fun to drive suv. No one can beat XUV 700, it’s a king on highways.

No one has the road presence like Xuv and safari

This is 'THE Best Video' on KZfaq for 7-seater buyer target audience. Exceptional presentation, everything is on point. Thanks a lot. Probably first time I felt that a 1-hour is not too long. I can imagine the original video footage would've been at least 10-11 hours, kudos to the editor too :)

One pf the best video of Evo India.. Didn't felled boring fir even a single sec.. Almost an hour video aka documentary. Well done team.

XUV and Safari are all good but for 5lac cheap i think Alcazar is extremely under rated. It is the smoothest and nice balance of suspension over indian everyday roads. The diesel engine is well extremely smooth and brisk, it cruzes happily and it does not compramise on space. Safari and xuv are all macho but practically Alcazar is much sorted, economical and practicle!

Safari looks beautiful and symmetric among them and also has superb road presence (looks like an Anaconda coming on us fro front). It's the overall more practical car.

A 7 seater should be able to accommodate 7 people comfortably. XUV700, Safari and Alcazar have cramped 3rd rows in terms of leg room and thigh support. Hycross has enough leg room in the 3rd-row but thigh support is less. Thigh support in the 3rd row is best in the Carens and its 3rd row leg room is adequate too. As an affordable, proper 7-seater for adults, Carens wins the competition.

great video by Evo india just loved it , I would totally agree with the verdict made by sirish sir , if choosing between the carens and alcazar carens would be a better pick and between the 700 and the safari it depends upon the whether you need more features or better engines and comfort and the hycross in the Vx (o) variant is the best buy for those looking for a proper 8 seater .

Alcazar is castle on roads so it not a SUV nor MPV.Just kidding. I own one and its good ,good handling , mileage,drivability Tested with lot of luggage as well as full house + luggage never felt underpowered. And my next option would be Hycross with a better interior.

Proud owner xuv700 Best luxury with features in segment Innova is over priced

XUV 700 it is for me... That's cz of the features and apoeal it price at a sweet piece. It actually introduced ADAS in the mainstream market and beats competition in its segment

Everyone has their own taste ... depends on what you are looking for. After i drove XUV700 I CHOSE IT because the dieawl 2.2 engine is peppy, very easy to drive, had. Loads of features. First and second row is very spacious. 3rd row for kids only. I have driven 10k now and driven in city and highways. Absolutely great machine. Its a very decent product by an Indian car maker. Diesel engine is very smooth. I get 10 to 11 in city and around 13 to 16 in highway depending on how i drive. I haven't faced any issues in the car. I have done 2nd service and i do it in ampl Guindy Chennai. Customer service is also good. Only issue i have is did not get the 2nd key yet. Mostly positive experience with XUV 700 and i love it.

every car is good but carens is slightly affordable too. Gone are the days when Innova was the king of its segment. carens became the first 7 seater to displace Innova. now each mpv has turned into SUVish MPV, offering space like MPV and high ground clearance and seating like SUV.

Innova Hycross Looks Cool And Offer Too Many Features Which Are Actually Quiet Useful But Still Cant Compete With Innova Crysta In Terms Of Practicality. The Comfort In Crysta Is Good. And The Only 7 Seater Which Can Accommodate 7 People Comfortably(3rd Row Is Really Comfortable Whether Its About Legroom, Headroom or Under-tight Support).

No car can beat the innova in 7 seater category. It's the undisputed king.

Proud owner of Hyundai Alcazar 1.5 Turbo Petrol DCT. Good road presence . (Actually feel like driving a big car and not a truck.) Enough power required for a SUV . Just perfect . Never found any issue with power when accending hills with full load. Engine responds well as per demand Fuel consumption better than other SUVs ( petrol) Third row is not that comfortable but (if middle row is adjusted it can be used comfortably.) Other SUVs compromise on boot space to provide more leg room for third row. For Alcazar there is ample space for boot . Better than other SUVs. More premium interiors than others. Seats are not comfortable in Alcazar Kia carens is the only car which is slightly better Alcazar . In terms of space. Didn't go for it since it has less service centres and less resale value.

Always innova crysta ❤ 🤴

I've been a fan of Sirish since Overdrive days

Why MG HECTOR PLUS IS NOT COVERED HERE ?

Alcazar most VFM and best SUV in terms of design and interiors

Drive quality- XUV 700 Presence- Safari Comfort- Hycross Safety- xuv 700 Space- Hycross Economical- Alcazar Design- Safari Technology- Hycross Audio- XUV 700 Lowest wait time- Carens HIghest Wait time- Xuv 700

Yesterday I have seen Innova hycross. Have fortuner like road presence. Massive car

its amazing how the XUV700 here in Australia was rated as an average decent SUV while in India its regarded as one of the best SUVs ever. Difference in Standards and affordability I guess.

in the style of faisal khan An INNOVA is an INNOVA, is an INNOVA, is an INNOVA🤩

Carens if most selling one currently selling 6000-7000 in numbers , it is affordable and spacious and offers practical features...

I swearrr what a mega comparison freaking 1hr vid😂

Excellent 👌 Review 😊 Flow of Presentation awesome 👌👌 Conclusion Part is Cleverly Done😊

Many may come and go but no one can beat king ertiga in this segment spacious ,practicality ,refined engine

Service and maintenance costs should also be added to the on road price and then the overall running costs be calculated to come to the actual figure of maintenance. Resale value over the same period and that will determine which is the best vehicle overall.

Would love to see a review on the Carens IMT diesel

No doubt from the list innova is the best. Comfort,space, features, design, Toyota cars are very reliable. I think so innova will always remain undefeatable. The name toyota fells very powerful and trusted.. I dont think so safari carnes xuv can beat the innova

I own Xuv 700 Ax7 variant Automatic. I have to say that I’m more than satisfied with the car. It has everything I ask for! 1. More than enough performance for our roads makes overtakes, especially on single lane roads effortless 2. Brilliant ride quality makes passengers more comfortable on longer journeys 3. Electric steering makes you feel like you are driving a hatchback on cities 4. Loaded with features. Those twin screen looks more upmarket and actually makes the car look a segment above than it really is. On the downside, rear seat cannot be slided and there are few software niggles. That’s it. Otherwise the car is really worth your every penny.

Good review, guys! After a long time.

Your Videos are Excellent! Next Time, my request is to Make Video btw the following cars:- 1) Suzuki Grand Vitara 2) Hyundai Creta 3) Škoda Kushaq 4) BMW X1 5) Audi Q3 6) Toyota Hyryder 7) Volkswagen Taigun 8) Kia Seltos 9) Mahindra XUV300 10) Tata Nexon Also, XUV700 is a Very Good Looking Car! Love that!

That ting sound every few seconds making me check my notifications.

Actually i think the previous Innova was more of a suv despite the design because it was body on frame and RWD. The modern one is just a lifted station wagon.

One advantage of Safari hydraulic steering is that it won't break on bad roads like those electric powered steerings.

Hycross ₹35 lakh, XUV & Safari ₹30 lakh, Scorpio ₹25 lakh, Alcazar ₹23 lakh, Carens ₹22 lakh final roundabout price for their top models.

When it comes to reliability no one can beat Toyota 🔥 ⚡ .

This video actually help me cement my decision on buying Safari. Honestly, this is personal opinion, but I have found out after driving both XUV 700 and safari that Tata's hydraulic steering is much better on highway, I can do some hard work in city but a floating steering on a highway run it's very very problematic for me. And also Xuv 700 is actually a 5 adult seater, 7seater is just a gimmick on XUV. and then there is milage, which is much better on safari, it will put out 18km/L @100kmph cruise control on highway runs except Toyota. Nobody comes close to it. and the worst part is 5 seater to 7 seater jump on xuv 700 costs way more compared to Safari where its just 1lakh. That is why I booked Safari Adventure White edition(white car with blacked out everything). well, that was in my opinion.

Mujhe to sirf Harier Or Xuv700 dikh raha hai 🗿 Indian Brand ❤

I was shocked to hear XUV700 doesn't have seat ventilation... Alcazar and creta is based on i20 platform.

Honestly said Xuv 700 Is much better than these. Luxurious interior, better suspension best in the segment Ride handling Safty, And a Powerful😎💪👍 engine That's The Real Suv Mahindra Xuv 700👑

Took test drive of Safari, XUV and Hycross, then went to Carens, not for pricing, but XUV & safari no boot space, and pretty hard to drive in city like Bengaluru, Hycross definitely a big car but it's a big headache to park, then finally Carens, boot space good, easy to drive, easy to maneuver in tight traffic situation and easy to turn on unplanned Bengaluru U turns. Bought Petrol DCT Prestige plus

Own a 2009 Innova, 2.78 L running. still Runs like makkhan. will be replaced by Hycross in few months. Once a Toyota owner forever a Toyota owner. i think Toyota should have given ventilation seats in middle on ZX(O) version atleast.

7:17 Headline feature of ADAS systems is not Forward Collision Warning, it is Autonomous Emergency Braking. Brush up on your ADAS fundas..

bought alcazar one week ago And I am really satisfy to buy this car ❤️

Although my picks will be the Innova Hycross, Safari and the XUV700

It's been long time I saw a review worth appreciating . The first video I am seeing in this channel .

Sirish is very energetic and enthusiastic person 👏👏 loved his presentation

Proud owner of Alcazar 1.5 Turbo Petrol ❤

TATA say Bye bye KIA Why you still here😂 in competition Xuv 700 big stance well equipped 😊 Hyundai Good well done.🎉 Last by ok in all perspective Toyota Innova Hycross.😊

Ventilated seats on 2nd row in safari is awesome. 😮

I felt you missed that you didn’t involve scorpion in this test

I like the way he talks about comfort, good driving in Toyota and features features design in tata.

XUV N SAFARI ARE HEAD TURNER FOR SURE!! great video, very detailed analysis, must needed comparison

Awesome vlog. But pls review all of this again with all 6 seats loaded. Dynamics of car with full load is important.... How the rear overhanged ride with full load and so on....

I would totally rely on Toyota for its brand value and reliability. What most of the people are missing while comparing these cars is - RESALE VALUE. Buying a Toyota and selling it after a lakh kms driven would always give you better price then these all.

Alcazar is the best VFM car of the lot. Proud owner of 1.5 Petrol AT signature variant

Innova will be the king ❤ come back after 10 years and check this comment 😅

Innova hycross is the one and only car if u can afford

why didn't you include scorpio n ?

XUV700 All the way

Evos are doing great, i love most compared to other channels specially the enthusiasm shirish have love the way explain love your all content keep it up team 👍🏻💪 evo comeon make a evolution of automobile in India

Challenge done and dusted couple of years back. I have stopped seeing phones as soon as i get up instead i drink couple of cups of water as soon as i get up , look at the sky for few minutes and then stretch my body readying myself for workout. Challenge for you now Aakanksha. Try to put your phone on flight mode while sleeping or keep your phones away atleast 3 meters so that you don’t get disturbed by those notifications. You will see better results and you will thank me later.

Wer is hector plus

Carens available in diesel after Bs6.2 update

Great work shirish! One can actually test drive the vehicle watching the screen and shirish explaining!🍻 I put my money on safari!

Hycross❤

Beautiful, well thought out comparison. However, SCORPIO N should have been included which would have given this collation an altogether different dimension.

From past 15 years nobody beat Innova

Thanks evo team for the detailed comparison. Subscribed u r channel.

Carens❤

Where is crysta disel It's the one who started a brand in 7 seater segment😢

i appreciate the effort you guys put in…❤❤❤

Why isn’t the Jeep Meridian included in this comparison or the MG Hector Plus? Could even have included the Maruti Suzuki XL6 as well. Nevertheless a nice comparison.

Exactly the comparison what i wanted. Great work friends ❤❤ love for cars.

This would have been a super perfect video if Scorpio N was also included in the comparison..as practically people are going for it after checking out these options..

Why not include compare Scorpio N in this. May Scorpio N petrol vs Toyota HyInova compare no one done yet...please think on it

I prefer the refinements of the Carens. A fiscally intelligent person will go for it.

You should have switched hector plus with carens.... anyways kudos to your efforts

Excellent video team evo.

Xuv700. There’s no need to compare anything. Others can’t stand toe to toe in competition. Tata should take lessons on adding some luxury and refinement from xuv and provide proper facelifts asap.

700 ❤️🔥

No other car can beat innova

Why is the jeep meridian or the Toyota fortuner not included ?

It's a SHAME that we got an INNOVA that is FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. But not as SHAMEFUL as TATA gave as a FRONT EFFING WHEEL DRIVE SAFARI!.

Did anyone noticed the electrical glitch in xuv700 at 36:49 at the middle row postioned lamp above the door ?
