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)

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?

        There seem to be a number of brands offering factory rebates , until end of September. So I assume the new models will start appearing after that.

    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.

    • axlfan on 11/09/2024 - 21:09
      +11

      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.

      • UFO on 11/09/2024 - 22:31

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

        • Naigrabzo on 12/09/2024 - 10:00

          Hi UFO, yes, you can interpret the ANCAP findings any which way you like, especially if you understand the nitty gritty of how they test and how the final score is calculated.

  • axlfan on 11/09/2024 - 21:08

    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.

      • Naigrabzo on 12/09/2024 - 10:01

        Is your aunt fixing the bodywork herself? Why did they ship the replacement parts to her house??

          +3

          Nah my aunt just breaks cars, it's my uncle that has to fix them. He asked for the parts to be shipped to him, my memory is a bit foggy on it but I think he was given the option to get the parts sent to the crap mahindra support in country NSW where it would get fixed, or they could drive up to the capable mahindra support in SEQ for it to be fixed. Either way it was going to be inconvenient so he said "cbfed… Just send me all the parts"
          Worked out well, he builds cars for fun. Has brought back to life many 1940-1970 cars from just shells with busted running gear. Fixing the mahindra was a walk in the park for him.

      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.

      Totally agree. What is the point of a website like Ozbargain if a horde of shills promote something that is objectively false?
      I love ozbargain. There's real people here posting real experiences, real strategies, real deals. Bit of banter here and there, it's great, we're human.
      What is it with the Indian psyche where they do their utmost to physically remove themselves from India, but then become the most fervent promoters of India and do their best to import as much of the culture here as possible - despite going so far as to commit fraud to leave that country (you believe every single student visa holder has $30k aud to their name in a savings account, and it isn't their extended families wealth transferred into one account for the purpose of producing ONE bank statement?)
      This is clearly the case with the promotion of Mahindra.

      The Mahindra is a cheap car. This may compel someone to buy it. Don't tell me that it's smooth and powerful and better than a Prado and that servicing has been flawless for 5 years/ 100k kms

      Ancient India corresponds to the region that is now Pakistan.
      Additionally, ancient India is not directly connected to the modern Republic of India, as India is not a continuous civilization.

      • npnp on 12/09/2024 - 05:33
        +3

        I suppose you're referring to Indus valley civilisation which is as old as Egyptian civilisation. Current numbers we use were invented much recently than that (numbers originated in India about 1500 years ago, Indus valley is about 5000 years old. There's no evidence to suggest that they used the current numbers back then). Besides, none of current countries have any direct connection to their ancient civilization either (Egyptian civilisation to current Egypt, Mesapotemia to current Iraq, Ancient Roman empire to current Italy, Ancient China to current China etc) as none those civilizations are continuous and their boundaries have always been changed over time. Most of Indus valley civilisation (including Harappa, Mohenjo daro ruins) are in current Pakistan but there is still a massive amount of ruins in current India as well (including city Lothal). Indus valley was considered the largest geographically spread civilisation (much larger area compared to ancient Egypt and Mesapotemia the other two oldest civilisations) and was founded by dark skinned people (more than half of Indians today) whereas current Pakistani's are mostly Coucasions migrated from west over last couple of thousands years so Indus valley civilisation heritage should be rightly belonged to native Indian lineage. (I'm neither Pakistani nor Indian by the way, just laying out facts here).

    Was looking at getting a cheap roundabout like mitsu asx for $15-$18k as a banger car to go to the shops and such , its starting to look more attractive to buy a new car for less than $30k instead !with the omoda at $26k from costco, and this 4 *4 for this price, why would ppl buy 2nd hand for a few thousand less .

    • UFO on 11/09/2024 - 22:33

      • Salternative on 11/09/2024 - 23:02

        100%, for $10 grand or so more you can get a vastly superior car with 5- 7 yr warranty . Am seriously considering going for the omoda, with 2nd hand cars, you never know what life it has lived, and all the people selling either look sketchy or the car looks like it has had a hard life. Will try to see if i can get a sub 30k on novated lease for a short term, that would be perfect . An attraction of a banger car is that you can park or drive it anywhere without worry, but at this price, i could treat it as banger new car .

        Have you seen how they use it in India? If it can handle India(shitty pot-holed Urban roads and high-quality tolled expressways), then it can handle Australia.
        So, it is tough and reliable. I cannot talk about safety though. If it doesn't have ANCAP 5, I'm not buying it.

          A 60 year old bus can also 'handle' those roads. The fact that the wheels haven't fallen off isn't a marker of reliability or handling.

          I see many holden cruze on the road, it doesn't mean they are good cars.

          For example these have a simple strut suspension in the front - the same as a Van. In comparison Ssangyong use a double wishbone in their vehicles.

          Road handling and noise will be terrible and all the electronic safety systems beeping at you can't make up for it.

          The fact that you see these driving in India only tells me that better vehicles are too expensive. Remember India has very high tarrifs on imports.

    Anyone else dread getting these as ubers?
    Even the indicator lights sound shit

      how many ubers are solely petrol powered?

      most are shitty hybrid camry's with dodgy suspension since they are all over 200,000kms and the drivers who work hard, because many of us tight a55es want cheap rides, need to work 100hr weeks to make ends meet.

        They could always get a different job?
