Tata Safari or Mahindra XUV700: which will have better resale value?

Tata Safari vs Mahindra XUV700

I’m using the fifth-gen Honda City, and I am looking to upgrade to a 6- or 7-seater. I will buy it under my company’s lease policy and sell it after the lease ends in four years. Hence, I want a car with good resale value. I have shortlisted the Tata Safari Accomplished+ AT and the Mahindra XUV700 diesel AT. In fact, I even booked the Safari a week ago. However, I’m sceptical about Tata and Mahindra as there are reliability issues. I am also not sure of their resale value and service cost.

Autocar India says: It is true that neither Tata nor Mahindra have bullet-proof reliability like Toyota. Between the two, customer complaints for Tata cars, especially software related, has gone up in recent months. The XUV700 also has niggles, but these are slowly getting sorted out. Between the two, the XUV700 diesel is a better choice largely because of its smoother and more powerful diesel unit. Also, with the recent price cuts, the XUV700 is an even more attractive option.

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.

Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato First Look: The Ideal supercar for India

The biggest phenomenon of the car world this century is the inexorable rise of SUVs. You have them in all shapes and sizes, for every occasion and every purpose. Even true-blue sportscar makers like Porsche, Maserati and Lamborghini have embraced this high-riding body type, which is the antithesis of the sleek, low-slung sportscars these storied brands originally built their legacy and reputation on. Ferrari, too, has just launched its first-ever SUV, which, not long ago, was anathema to the famous Italian marque. It shows that even hallowed brands have no sacred cows left and have succumbed to what is the cash cow of the car market. WRC-style LED spot lamps drive home the rally look.  SUVs make money, plain and simple. Consumers are willing to pay a lot for them and, crucially, they have a much wider appeal than sportscars. So, it’s no surprise that both Porsche and Lamborghini owe their fortunes to the SUVs in their range. Porsche has the Cayenne and Macan, while Lamborghini has j
