5 Things Mahindra XUV700 Offers Over The Tata Safari Facelift

The new Safari is more feature-rich than ever, but the Mahindra XUV700 still has an edge

The 2023 Tata Safari has undergone comprehensive updates in terms of design, features, and safety. It remains a direct competitor to the 7-seater variants of the Mahindra XUV700. Both Safari and XUV700 offer well-equipped packages, but there are 5 things that the Mahindra SUV offers over its Tata competition.

12-Speaker Sound System

Both Indian SUVs come with premium sound systems in their top variants, but the Mahindra XUV700 has a slight advantage in terms of the number of speakers. It comes with a 12-speaker Sony sound system that has 4 customized acoustic modes. On the other hand, the Tata Safari is equipped with a 10-speaker JBL audio system offering 13 JBL audio modes.

Electric Smart Door Handles

The Mahindra XUV700 features electric smart door handles, which were previously limited to luxury-end products. These door handles sit flat with the body but pop out when the car is unlocked, allowing you to open the door. They automatically pop back into place when the car is locked. In contrast, the Tata Safari has conventional door handle design.

Lane Keep Assist

The Mahindra XUV700 is equipped with lane keep assist as part of its advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) suite. In comparison, the Tata Safari’s ADAS kit only includes lane departure warning and lane change alert. The lane keep assist feature in the XUV700 prevents the vehicle from drifting into another lane by identifying the road markings through sensors. Tata will be adding this feature to its own ADAS suite for the Safari soon via a software update. For now, the XUV700 has an advantage in this area.

This engine generates 200PS and 380Nm of torque and can be paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. On the other hand, the Tata Safari is only available with a diesel engine option. It is powered by a 2-litre diesel engine that produces 170PS and 350Nm of torque and can be paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission.

All Wheel Drive

The diesel automatic variant of the Mahindra XUV700 offers the choice of an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. However, the Tata Safari is only available in a front-wheel-drive option. This feature differentiation makes the XUV700 more suitable for off-road adventures compared to the modern-day Safari.
