7 Seater with 7 Year warranty.

Save $3000, Drive Away Pricing Valid to 30 Sept 2024

Bunch of features as most cars have now but caught my attention due to 7 seats and 7 year warranty + Roadside assist and 34k Drive away.

Regd ANCAP,
———-
its good to have but just like Health star rating on food products in coles/Woolies . 5 star means best from mental perspective but may not be best ( possibly worst) for physical body. 5 star labeled fruit juice may be worse than coke/pepsi..

Features:
———

Dual HD 10.25” Infotainment and 10.25” Digital Cluster Screens
Android Auto and Apple Carplay
6 Speakers with Sound Staging
Adaptive Cruise Control’
Skyroof™ (Panoramic Sunroof)
Flush Door Handles
Cornering Lamp
2nd & 3rd Row Air Conditioning
Push Button Start

More are listed on https://www.mahindra.com.au/xuv700/

Pretty decent car and value for money for 34K.

Your car is Japanese / German. Your vodka is Russian. Your pizza is Italian. Your kebab is Turkish. Your democracy is Greek. Your coffee is Brazilian. Your movies are American. Your tea is Tamil. Your shirt is Indian. Your oil is Saudi. Your numbers are Arabic and your letters are Latin. Almost everything else in your house is made in China. Dont worry about this car being chinese or indian made?

    Except for the dual cab, they don't look too bad.

      As someone who drives a similar car I’ve talked to a few people that own the dual cab out of interest , as I had heard good things ,
      Yes, beaten with the ugly stick but people seem to love them ,
      good on fuel is usually the first thing they sprout, comfortable etc.
      Anecdotal i know but interesting nonetheless,

      I just wonder how far west they get ,
      before it turns back into landcruiser country.

        I was considering it until I looked at the owners group on Facebook. Endless issues, but filled with a bunch of people who would back owning a weird brand no matter what. A guy would drive 1km off the car lot, have a door fall off and the engine grenade and imply it was well built and just a slight issue you could expect from any brand.

        For this car, yes. Many didi and über driver will go for it and they have a mandatory ancap minimum rating

        You do have a point, a lot of the "driver assists" that theyre mandating are more of a distraction.

        To give the MG a zero for not having collision avoidance is literally an ego trip. The car will still perform better than a 5 star camry from 2016

        • MrFrugalSpend on 11/09/2024 - 21:59

          … and at this point I feel like my car's collision avoidance and other driver assist, no, driver interference technologies have almost caused more accidents then they've saved. I particularly love it when someone with a parked car opens a door or something, so I try to swerve around to give them more room and if I get too close to the centre / right hand lane line, despite no one in that lane, it interferes and pushes me back towards the obstruction.. causing me to avoid a potential collision it created - it's always keeping me on my toes like that in urban areas!

          Then there's the ones where it alarms and auto-brakes when someone is turning left into a driveway and you are following them even though they've moved onto the shoulder and out of your way enough to pass and you were planning on cruising safely past - but it panics.

          Another is when you are on the highway with cruise set and your mind starts wandering because it is doing things like steering for you and slowing down when you approach another car, then after a long time like this, maybe a half hour, it gets confused all of a sudden it gives up on that idea and you have got to snap out of it and make sure you are steering and keeping distance without assistance and virtually no time for a warning. Gets scary how quickly you adapt to having that assistance then it fails and leads to a dangerous situation.

            @MrFrugalSpend: What happens when someone kicks a football into the street?
            Does it chuck a hand break turn mount the pavement and weave through the pedestrians?

            • MrFrugalSpend on 12/09/2024 - 19:02

              @beach bum: If i were planning on gently swerving around it, and when doing so tried to cross the centre line because it was clear to avoid hitting the ball (with no one coming the other way), but reacted without indicating first (as you do in that quick reaction scenario), it would instead stop me from doing that, flash red lights on the heads up display, beep loudly and startle and distract me, then jamb the brakes on and if we were too close probably still hit the ball and above all that, the car behind that was not expecting that reaction would likely run into the back of me. It's that good ! :(

              I heard about someone that something similar happened to, a garbage bag blew out onto the road, everyone was just expecting to keep driving because it was clearly just a piece of plastic that you could run over, their car auto-braked rapidly and the car behind rammed into them. They then get into an argument with the person behind wanting to know why they stopped so suddenly … the big question then is, when driver assist tech causes an accident, who's liable?

              In a more funny version, my brothers car wouldn't let him park in the express carparks at the local supermarket because they had painted big signs on them about 15 minute parking in a large box and the cameras thought it was some obstruction in the car park !!

          • MrFrugalSpend on 12/09/2024 - 18:58

            @MrFrugalSpend: But I should say it is also fixable if the manufacturers could allow it to be, because my wife's car also has all the driver assist stuff and it hardly ever actually interferes and rarely if ever false alarms when I drive it - it is way less sensitive (even though I had the dealer show me how to turn down the sensitivity on mine at the first service). Same with the auto-stop at traffic lights, it is way better at picking when it should actually turn off, whereas some other cars are turning off at inconvenient times for 2 seconds all the time.

            The driver assist should really be calibrated to be a last resort only for those "oh, sh!t you're gonna crash so I'm going to brake for you cause you've clearly dropped the ball to reduce the impact" moments only. Like seatbelt pre-tensioners. It should not be interfering with day to day driving, but mine does.

            • beach bum on 12/09/2024 - 20:07

              @MrFrugalSpend: If there’s two different obstacles on the road would it choose to hit the smaller object if there was no avoiding the accident?

        A simple search in the ANCAP website will expose this lie.
        https://www.ancap.com.au/safety-ratings/mahindra/scorpio/470…

        Adult occupant safety rating is 44%. That is pathetic.

        Furthermore, "Top tether anchorages are not fitted to the centre seating position in the second row of seven-seat variants (NZ) or third row seating positions of any variant. Installation of child restraints in these seating positions is not recommended.

        This vehicle is not suitable for transporting young children in these seating positions."

        Sad!

          Your link is to the scorpio, not the car OP linked.

          What I care about in safety is, in the event of a crash, there's less chance of serious injury, from crumple zones, airbags, all that stuff.
          Reading the link you posted, ANCAP has harshly rated the scorpio because it doesn't have the new features that lots of people turn off:

          ANCAP Safety

          Neither an autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system, or a lane support system (LSS), are available on any variant of the Mahindra Scorpio.

          A seatbelt reminder (SBR) system is fitted as standard to the front seating positions only. Seatbelt reminders are not provided for any second or third row seating positions.

          A driver monitoring system (DMS) is not available. A speed limit information function (SLIF) is not available. A child presence detection (CPD) system is not available.

          This is for a different model.

          Xuv700 hasn't been rated yet.

          https://www.drive.com.au/reviews/2023-mahindra-xuv700-review…

          "That it doesn’t receive an ANCAP score does not mean it’s unsafe. The Mahindra XUV700 AX7L gets active safety measures such as autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and tyre pressure (and temperature) monitoring."
