The allot wheels are dual-tone and the tail lamps are sleek looking units. The integration of Mahindra’s new logo on XUV700’s tail gate looks slightly odd when compared with the one on Scorpio N. He mentions that when it comes to exterior look, XUV700 wins the round. Moving next to the interior, XUV700 offers the most premium looking cabin among other SUVs in the video. The twin 10.25 inch screen set up on the dashboard itself elevates the overall look. It comes with dual-zone climate control, electric handbrake, panoramic sunroof, leather seats, ADAS and so on. Safari’s cabin looks slightly dated but it does offer features like ventilated seats both at the front and rear, panoramic sunroof, cruise control and touchscreen infotainment system.
Mahindra Scorpio N on the other hand offers decent amount of features. There is a regular sunroof, dual-zone climate control, dual-tone leather seat covers, rear AC vents but, it misses out of AC vents for third row passengers. Boot space is not much in any of the SUVs with all three row seats up. All three SUVs offer good leg room and headroom in second row. Only Safari offers sliding and recline function for the second row seats. This helps in generating more space for the third row passengers. The third row seat is not split in Scorpio and folding it is a task in itself.
When it comes to driving, the vlogger mentions that Safari has a very heavy steering at low speed while the other two SUVs get a very light steering which weigh up according to speed. Light steering makes driving them in the city very easy. The gearshifts in the XUV700 and Scorpio N felt slightly better. In terms of performance, vlogger mentions that XUV700 is the best, then the Safari and Scorpio N at last. He also adds that Safari offers a better ride than other SUVs in the video.
