Pros & Cons Comparison

Things We Like in Tata Safari

It is the only SUV in its segment with both 5-star Global NCAP and 5-star Bharat NCAP ratings.
The Land Rover-derived OMEGARC platform is stronger than most rivals in the segment.

Things We Like in Mahindra XUV 7XO

Really subtle and welcome design changes, still retains its OG style
Very impressive infotainment setups with Dolby Vision, Noise Cancelling and1400 Watts Dolby Atmos

Things We Don't Like in Tata Safari

No 4WD or AWD option, limiting capability against rivals like the Jeep Meridian for off-road use.
The top variant is exclusive to the petrol powertrain.

Things We Don't Like in Mahindra XUV 7XO

Hope the glitchy infotainments fixed this time around
