Hey everyone,

My family is upgrading from our 2019 Hyundai Santro 1.1 MT, and we're planning to keep the new car for around 5 to 6 years.

I've been offered the Mahindra XUV 3XO AX7L (Stealth Black) for ₹14.65 lakh ex-showroom, and I'm wondering if this is genuinely a good deal or if there are better options around this price.

A few details:

• Budget: Around ₹14–15 lakh ex-showroom
• Family of 3, occassionally 5 (grandparents)
• Mix of city driving and occasional highway trips
• Safety is a big priority since my father is a relatively new driver, so features like level 2 adas are a big plus.
• We also value rear-seat comfort, features, and good ownership experience.

The other cars I've considered are:

• Hyundai Venue HX5 and HX6
• Kia Seltos (HTK(O)/similar variants)
• Toyota Hyryder G neodrive

From what I've seen, the 3XO AX7L offers a lot for the money (ADAS, 360° camera, panoramic sunroof, Harman Kardon audio, ventilated seats, etc.), but I wanted opinions from actual owners and enthusiasts.

My questions:

1. Is ₹14 lakh ex-showroom for the AX7L a good deal?
2. Would you still choose the 3XO over the Kushaq, Seltos, or Hyryder at this budget?
3. Are there any major ownership issues, reliability concerns, or things I should know before booking?
