    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.

    Does this model come with an ANCAP rating?

      • +5

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

      • -5

        Looks like there's a lot of folks with fast negative buttons, but no ability to follow a link or make a rational assessment of an article.
        Oh well… at least those sheeple probbly don't smell as bad as my sheep.

        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

        • +1

          … 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.

      • What if you or your loved ones were the object it hit?

        • Maybe they should be handing their licences in or be buying this Mahindra

          If your prime consideration is not safety of the occupants, but third party safety…. stay away from the front of semis, and all fixed objects.
          Unless of course you want to test some darwin award gene pool theories.

        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!

        • +6

          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."

        • Oh bud…

        Wrong model.

  • AX7 and AX7L will be $33,990 and $36,990 respectively

      Are these made in India?

      When I was in India, I saw heaps of Mahindras driving around on rural roads, through the potholes, gaps in paved road, through the dust, swerving around trucks and rickshaws. I got a huge respect for them after that, they just have decent suspension to tolerate that!!

      • how is the 3rd row, compared to other SUVs if you have tested them?
        anything you like in particular?

        • My 13 yr old nephew sat on the 3rd row and he had enough leg space. he did not complain for a 5 hours road trip.

          I personally have not sat on the 3rd row, but my partner has and it was okay for a 15-20mins trip, but maybe not for long drives as it can be crammed up.

          Also the 3rd row have AC vents and cup holders.

    What kind of insane logic is this? That's comparing across product categories, ANCAP compares car to car. Your opinions sound like they have some nationalistic motivations. There are far better criticisms to be made of ANCAP, that's not one of them.

    Lol, what?

    • +3

      LOL thats not how ANCAP works. Zero stars means the occupants of the Scorpio also got squished. Must have bad crumple zones and no protection for body parts such as knees. Child safety must also have been abysmal.
      So with your example, you and your kids are dead!

      From ANCAP:
      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.

      • I don't have infants so won't be using child restraint anchorages.
        Rest of the report reads fine though.

  • +7

    I am originally from India and its funny to see the Indians upvote this and post funny stuff in support. Mahindra isn't as bad as some might say but the lack of safety is appalling.

    The Chery Omoda is not the best car in this segment and only seats 5 but it costs around the same and has 5 star ANCAP. Same for the Ssanyong model (Mahindra used to own them and got a lot of technology and design aspects from them) which has 5 star ANCAP. Could rather buy those than this. Remember its sister the Scorpio got zero stars in ANCAP testing!

    Global NCAP is terrible. Yes even 5 star ANCAP doesn't mean the car is impervious but it will be safer than one without it. Especially when you have kids, every ounce of safety matters!

    The other major problem is after sales support. If your Mahindra is in an accident and you need replacement body parts then good luck! Guess if you are a MG buyer then you could consider this.

    Mahindra is ascending for sure but as of today, they are still not up to the mark. Sad reality but in a few years they should be at Ssanyong's level.

      Re your comments about the spare parts - my aunt has a mahindra SUV. Idk what, it's a 2019 model. She hit a kangaroo at speed, smashed up her front end pretty badly.

      The local support was crap for them in country NSW, however they got on to the right people in SEQ and had all the replacement parts arrive at their house inside of a week.

    • -1

      Neg vote isn't justified by your rant though. Your comment applies to many other companies and their vehicle.

      Remember this is Ozbargain. At this price being a 7 seater with ANCAP rating, I guess this is still a deal for its own market.

      Same as MG with further discounts in a similar vote.
