What would your pick be? The Tata Safari or the Mahindra XUV700?

That "700 reasons" plug-in....smooth. Loved your comparison. Keep it up.

Honestly most people crying about lack of AWD in the safari are never even gonna buy one if it did have AWD. maybe a handful of them might. But that's all. As a business, it doesn't make sense for Tata Motors to make keyboard warriors happy. That's the simple truth

XUV 700 also has cheaper spares and service costs compared to Safari/Harrier, so it also helps in having more resale value.

If only Tata could realise that quality control and aftersales matters. 😓

There is an error on the screen it shows no paddle shifters on safari instead of 700 after 15:13

New safari is so classy . Love it on the looks . Yeah but XUV is still a better car 😀

Suspension of xuv700 is very noisy in comparison of safari....interior space management of safari is better than xuv700 despite having shorter wheelbase....xuv700 has only one advantage over safari and that is the engine and power output....interior of safari feels a lot premium than xuv700 ....road presence of safari is also too good with 19 inch wheels ....raw power of mahindra is on another level and even can put fortuner to shame in performance....

Mahindra anyday. We have been having Mahindras since the 1990s.

The amount of people complaining about tata safari's issues in all the automotive forums I really hold back on even going for a test drive. It is safer to just be a viewer on the road. Comparatively Mahindra XUV 700 seems to have much lesser issues even though it does have a few.

Simple Buy Tata Safari if you want more features, bigger touchscreen and spend more time in service centre Buy Xuv 700 if you like performance, AWD and few bearable software glitches

I wish they had a car with xuv700's engine and interior with safari's exterior 😊

Safari's alloy wheels are infact Sierra.Ev (2023 Auto expo) concept's alloys.

XUV wins if you want a cheaper capable suv and are willing to live with low class commercial service centre experience. Safari wins if you can afford to spend a little extra for luxury and features. Both cars have issues but not like they will stop you from your daily work. Our xuv700 had an issue and dealership took lazy 2 weeks to fix so not buying xuv for sure.

Bro did not even talked once about the features Xuv got in its touchscreen in facelift 😂😂

I am from Munsiyari village in Pithoragarh (Uttarakhand). We have XUV 700 (AWD) for 1.5 years now. I think XUV is still not an off-roader. Maybe Scorpio-N is a better choice for someone who does offroading. If someone is stuck in snow, he/she will need chains with low tyre pressure. That's what everybody does in hills. Very less local ppl drive AWD or 4X4 in Uttarakhand. Several tourists get stuck in Snow in their 4X4 Thar etc every other day specially in winters. If I get an option now to select between Safari and XUV, I will choose to return XUV to go with Safari.

I own a xuv700 AX7 I have problems with suspension The noise of suspension is little irritating and now the ride quality has decreased considerably.... Last tym at the service center they were not able to detect the problem and solve it.This tym hope they come up with a solution

Tata Safari have more premium feel in side the cabin and driving area than Mahindra XUV. Tata Safari have edge over XUV 700 by its Massive road presence , capability to drive on rough road or urban road without having AWD & Tata safari is more practical to use in urban and rural areas than XUV 700. ₹ 30 lakhs + suv buyers wouldn't be bother for resale value , Rather than he would prefer for driving pleasure ,comfort and safety these all are present in Tata Safari The Indian range rover ❤. Now Tata safari come with gesture control tail gate , 3 rd row have more spacious and boss mode to adjust space for middle row passenger.

Missed opportunity for tata .. they could have really made safari the best this time. They worked on everything else except for the engine, transmission and panel gaps and awd capability .. This time they could have really made Safari worthy of it's name but they didn't.

IF I AM SPENDING THAT KIND OF MONEY I WANT AWD TOO

Fantastic, extremely detailed and very polished review. The reviewer was excellent!

Xuv's facelift would be even better. ❤

In Tata safari they forgot to give proper space for number plate in front , The way it is attached it covers front ADAS Radar , read about same on teambhp

I'm surprised most of the automotive journalists don't mention anything about the multi link suspension or FSD of XUV. It makes a big difference but nobody talks about it. Makes me think do these guys even know what they're doing. I doubt their competence.

Last month, i drove xuv 700 and safari facelift for 3,000 kilometers both till Manali(automatic). It is my take away: 1: Safari suspension is amazing, it smoothly glides over bad patches 2: Safari gearbox is better, and fees less jerking while shifting. 3: safari has better road presence, xuv is also beautiful, but safari has an edge. 4: Third row is practical in safari. XUV 700….. 1: Engine is just rocket, very refined, feels like driving BMW. 2: The car is more spacious despite the fact that middle row can slide in safari. 3: Cabin feels more luxurious. 4: Easy to drive vehicle for thousands of kilometers, no tiredness. 5: Zero software glitches encountered during trip. 6: Under thigh support is better in xuv. 7: Adas is very accurate in xuv 700. Note: Please don’t get offended, but xuv in my opinion, is more practical car, and gives a feel driving any foreign made car. Sometimes, hard to believe it was made by Mahindra.

Great review Aatish..👍🏻but I feel for 3rd row space and comfort I feel safari is the one to go for..!

For me suspension are extremely important and suspension of Safari are far better than XUV 700 in Indian road conditions. XUV suspension is more like sedan, too much jerky on bad roads. If I am upgrading to SUV I need not to slow down in small bad patches. I took the test ride on same road back to back for both the cars and found Safari better on suspension front. Obviously engine performance is better in XUV 700. But overall I found Safari to be more like SUV while XUV to be more like crossover Sedan.

0-100 time for both??

about the grip being better in turns, is that only for the AWD or just in general.. have booked top end diesel 2wd and on fence about the AWD.. How does it do in terms of performance and stability/handling as compared to its 2wd counterpart

The engine, the performance, the service - XUV 700 The heart - Safari 🎉

Can't believe the XUV still manages to miss out on auto dimming IRVM in the 2024 update

The current car prices are crazy. My dad bought a volvo v40 crosscountry in 2013 for 35 lks, and we still have it in our garage.

The lump which is hanging exactly between the front tyres of Safari doesnt give me full confidence that it can go much further without damaging that part and idk if that's plastic or steel which can withhold some impact on it.

Two proper Indian companies competing against each other. What a lovely day for Indians

I have both vehicles and I can say that for the city use and easy drive with better response and moderate speed XUV 700 is good but for long drives on highways with good high speed control and comfort sitting even in third row Safari is better. Road presence and look of Safari is best in segment.

First XUV 700, Scorpio Classic, Safari Storme more close to heart...Back then engineers made Cars which were articulate. Nowadays its just touchscreen showcases...!!

Idk, i love both. Never thought I'd see, or even drive something like these on our roads. But thank god we do ❤ Get what speaks to you imo. No amount of features can speak to you like a test drive does.

Guys... which looks more premium, XUV or Safari? Help me decide please as I have to buy one in 2-3 days? (Im not inclined towards performance... i want to make an impression)

Tata Safari is far better .. much more comfortable than xuv700 beautiful looking & lots of features too .. I don't need AWD. The best go for safari

Mistake, at 12:29 the writting on the screen says "6 speed automatic gearbox with paddle shifters" on Safari. At 15:19 The anchor is talking about XUV700 and the writting says "No Paddle shifters on the Safari"

Xuv700 any day.! Safari cons - That giant tractor like clutch and heavy steering with that notch running across the dashboard in safari sticking your left knee is painful on long drive and after sales of tata 😢nightmare

For me XUV7OO any day just because of its beast engine....that power delivery when u put the foot on pedal... ....that doesn't mean I don't love Safari...it's every Indian car enthusiasts dream...but I will consider engine over features...and it's just my opinion... everyone have thr own😊

Safari could have been a better vehicle, but it fails miserably in achieving that position. Nowadays, even a day doesn't pass without hearing laments of owners regretting their decision of going for Tata's vehicles. I have put some light on what some folks in the comment section have addressed- 1. Suspension Noise in XUV700- The noise from suspension has apparently been resolved. But I guess, there are still some owners experiencing it. 2. Cabin Space- I have personally compared the space management and gotta agree, Safari does a better job at it. The headroom and space in 3rd row is considerably better in Safari. 3. Ride and Handling- XUV shines in raw power, ride quality and handling. I am acknowledging this fact on the basis of views from those who have driven both vehicles. I have never got a chance to test drive or even start a Safari; everytime, I visited the dealer, it's battery was always dead. The only vehicle that was in a working condition was the Nexon. 4. Cabin Ambience - Safari's interior might seem more premium, but the quality control and rough edges snatches away all the luxury. XUV's interior has got better ambience and quality control. Like I mentioned earlier, I never started the vehicle, that could be a reason why I felt XUV's interior stance to be better. Here are my views on different factors that most folks here addressed. So at the end of the day, which one would I favour? Well if Tata had a better quality control, ASS and fame, the tagline 'Safari' was replaced by say 'Gravitas', Safari sold as much as XUV and had similar raw power, then I would have undoubtedly gone for the Safari. But considering the present scenerio, I will vouch for XUV700. It is for sure, a better and safer option overall.

Tata Safari looks awesome ❤❤

TATA Safari ❤ 🔥🔥🔥❤

Leaving everything aside, It is absolutely stupid to put 30+L on a Tata when they have known QC issues. 25 years since Tata entered the passenger car segment and yet they are unable to give cars without QC issues. One can get away selling trucks with poor fit and finish, but it is an absolute no-no in passenger car segment.

Nice review👍🏻 I have a 2023 Safari XT+ dark edition, not a facelift version. I had many reasons to buy it like Comfort, no suspension noise, built quality, and power doesn’t matter as we can’t drive above 120kmph on our highways. For all AWD people: Most of them even don’t go to High-terrain areas or do offroading. NOTE: You will see XUV700 in Cabs but not a SAFARI🙌🏻 and it matters.🔥

The c drl's look a bit awkward on the all black. I hope thats redesigned significantlu in the facelift

Wonderfully explained brother. Totally unbiased comparison in a nutshell. Great job done. All the best.

Brilliant brilliant review. Firstly, good choice of comparison parameters. Next, engaging as heck. Lastly, very high production value. You've found a new subscriber 😊

Very good one, Aatish..

Safari is rated 5 star for both child and adult safety. XUV700 is 4 start for child and 5 star for adult.

Please watch comparo of safari, fwd xuv700 and rwd innova crysta on zigwheels. On a steep rough incline, innova thanks to its rwd, completed the patch in 22 odd seconds, safari took 28 seconds and xuv700 took 37 seconds. Xuv700 maybe more powerful but poor suspension made poor traction and a poor time. Maybe awd xuv700 would have done better. Power wise xuv700 is better, but DEFINITELY not as exaggerated as Mahindra fanbois suggest.

9:28 The xuv also gets the cooled storage bin.

We hit a few speed breakers in the city and Highway in a harrier and that took it like a tank and one could hardly feel it. The xuv didn't feel that tank like. Also, do the my24 XUV have the suspension noise still? And how are the wait times because I waited over a year for the xuv700 awd and got fed up with price increments post booking, non responsive sales, the long wait times and finally bought the Octavia before it was discontinued.

I love ❤ Road presence of Safari ❤

The performace,the engine,the ride quality and comfort ..all are top notch in the xuv 700 ..,,,Though safari leads the 700 in terms of features yet i gonna pick the 700

Hey luv ur videos Fam! Just an request, Can u make an video on Chevy Spark?

does Safari have sim configuration like XUV have and inbuild navigation like Mapple XUV have ?

Which car u buy Aatish if u have to choose between two??

My delivery is on 18th feb ❤❤❤ safari accomplished plua dark

Pls pls pls a Detailed Comparison between Xuv 700 Awd diesel Vs Tuson Diesel Awd .....

TBH Safari looks way more premium. But they should give this gold colour option in all trims.

Hi Evo india, I really want a best diesel automatic suv, with great TRANSMISSION, i drove both , it is noisy, even in city traffic. I own a skoda rapid diesel dsg, i feel that one is lot quieter. I also think Tucson diesel auto transmission is also great, please comment . I want 7 seater ,diesel automatic, which one is best for driving enthusiast ?

700 anyday. I just can’t vibe with safari .

Front wheel drive in the safari is not acceptable. At least a rear wheel drive??

Safari most luxurious

Driving experience, ease of driving and the feel of Safari even after 2.5 years of driving makes it the best SUV in its segment. This is my experience of driving this vehicle since Oct '21. Good vehicles drive the same even after many years of driving and that's what speaks about the superior engineering of this world class SUV - built on Omega Arc platform, Safari is a proven vehicle and will be the king of Indian SUVs for a very long time. Having driven other SUVs too, i would still go out and purchase a new Safari (even now) without much ado...

Camera doesn’t do safari justice ,when i first saw it in my rear view mirror it looked so mean and muscular

I saw safari standing in forum Mall, kanakapura, Bangalore last weekend . The sales person was not at all interested and was sleeping inside the car. They did not show us any features and set the battery is dead. How can display cars battery be dead. It is either a pathetic sales or a pathetic product. There was very less space in the last row. The dashboard was nothing to talk about. The white seats were already dirty.

Does the XUV 700 have Captain seats option with AWD??

11:58 That number plate alignment is bothering me.

Couldn't help but notice misaligned number plate on Safari and ignorance of dealers that covers radar, which causes so many warnings and failures.

XUV are so good ❤❤

I will take xuv for sure its more reliable It doesn't have any problems I dont have to go service station within in few weeks of buying I will sleep without any tension after buying this car and many more reasons to buy it!!

Cooled storage bin is present in 700 too

I will wait for Petrol Safari 😊 Investing in Diesel vehicle (esp at NCR) makes little sense.

If only xuv700 had 2nd row movable seats woth ventilation, sunblinds and bit of roof scooped up for better 3rd row head room, it would have been a banger. I really like safari for this very reasons

Dono bekar gadi he. Safari ka agar after purchase kuch ho jaye to Showroom ka chakkar lagate lagate thak jao ge and XUV7OO ka kuch hua to Mahindra to sidha picha chuda leta he. At last, Ye bhi pata nai ki inme kab kya fault aajaye. We give our first priority to our Indian Brands with emotion but they didn't care about that.

Safari looks far better in style! The only complaint I have with new safari is the space for phone and other things for front seats. Also,XUV has long wait….

Why is the Safari’s number plate not aligned? 😅

East or west xuv700 is best

11:19 XUV 700 gets 420 litres is a joke!! 🤣 Its 240 Litres brother and not 420 litres

Why is the number plate not aligned correctly on Safari. They really need to work on fit and finish

Anyday I will pik xuv700 because it has Mahindra engine TATA engine lacks initial pickup and reliability And no comparison to Mahindra's Mhawk engine 😊

Dear Atish, The way you introduced intern 👎🏻

I still miss Safari Storm and its character !

XUV700 is better than Safari. Engine perform absolutely fabulous in XUV700 smoother than safari. Feature wise tata goes on.

One of the plus point Petrol version Mahindra, where Safari lacks as only available in Diesel version

It's nice of you to introduce the intern😂

Good video.

Suv ab simple log o ka ho gaya .. new market on pickup truck

I love the Safari... But I would like to see a All Wheel Drive or 4x4 in the Safari.. Also some more luggage space please! 3rd row seat is good but can be better for Adults

XUV 700 ftw!⚡

When I went for test drive in 2nd row 3 people sat so un comfortable the car sunroof is so dusty but when I went for xuv 700 test drive the 2nd row is so spacious and comfortable the car was so clean but safari is spacious for 3rd row the steering is so hard to turn for safari but xuv 700 steering is so smooth xuv 700 tailgate is stronger than the metal.

700 reasons was a nicee one 😅

Xuv 700❤

Looking at the safari it just gives me one vibe 5 years down the line this car will have unfixable electronic and mechanical issues.

Hi Zubbin.....Wish you all the best for your career

15:22 Its not safari. Its the XUV (paddle shifters)
