Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Mahindra XUV700
- Lot of variants and powertrain options
- Very capable engine options
- AWD with diesel engine
- Ride quality is very comfortable
- Impressive infotainment experience
- Long safety list, with 7 airbags
- ADAS has been tuned for Indian road conditions
MG ZS EV
- Understated and classy styling
- Rich interior quality. Feels very upmarket
- Good features list - 10.1-inch touchscreen, digital instrument cluster, etc.
- Realistically achievable range of 300-350km on a full charge

Mahindra XUV700
- Not a fun to drive SUV
- Petrol engine gives effortless power, but not exciting
- Some quality issue in the cabin
- Strange missing features like auto-dimming IRVM
- Boot space behind 3rd row
MG ZS EV
- Rear seat space is good but some may expect a roomier experience for the price
- Boot space could’ve been more generous
- EV charging infrastructure is inconsistent. Home/work charging and the portable charger will be more dependable than public charging
- Some ergonomic flaws - lumbar cushioning feels excessive, front armrest may be too tall for short drivers
