XUV700 or Scorpio N: which Mahindra SUV to buy under Rs 18 lakh?

-
Mahindra XUV700, Scorpio N front quarter

I want to buy an SUV as my first vehicle and I have shortlisted the Mahindra Scorpio N and XUV700. I am unable to decide between the two, although my heart is set on the Scorpio N. My budget is around Rs 18 lakh and I am also eagerly waiting for the 5-door Thar for long time. My only concern is: will the 5-door Thar be better and would its interiors and technology be on par with the Scorpio N or XUV700?

Autocar India says: We are not sure what your usage is, but if it's not for hardcore off-roading, the XUV700 is far better than the Scorpio N and even the upcoming Thar 5-door. The XUV700 is Mahindra’s flagship model and has the best infotainment system, the best engine and the best quality of all Mahindra cars. Being a monocoque construction, it feels the most car-like to drive, and is the most comfortable and spacious too. The Scorpio N and Thar both have a ladder chassis, which give them great off-road capability, but compromise their dynamics on normal roads. We would advise you to go for the XUV700, which is an exceptionally good product packed with tech and features.

The BMW M3 CS will be sold in sedan bodystyle only and in limited numbers worldwide.  BMW M3 sedan gets 550hp twin-turbo petrol Does 0-100kph in 3.4 seconds Gets BMW’s xDrive AWD tech with selectable RWD BMW M3 CS: design and interior  The M3 CS is set apart from the M3 Competition visually by a raft of design tweaks, such as an angrier-looking, open front grille designed to match the front end of BMW’s GT4-spec M4 racer. Gaping air intakes round off the new-look nose. These are joined by a host of items that enhance aerodynamics, such as a wide front splitter and a lipped rear spoiler. It gets special V-spoke gold wheels – 19-inch at the front and 20-inch at the rear – shod with track-focused tyres. The M compound brakes come with red calipers, while carbon-ceramic brakes are also available. The interior broadly matches that of the M3 Competition, w
