Buying a new SUV / MUV

Hi there,

I am imran and would like to buy  a new car this month, i would be using the car for commercial purpose also, and would like 7-8 ppls accomodation as i have a big joint family, i am confused between XYLO, TAVERA and Innova, i need a diesel car,

Please if you can suggest which one of the three to pick giving reason i would be glad, also if you can recommend any car dealer in south mumbai i will be more than happy to contact him, my budget is betwee 8-10 lac

regards

imran

better leave out the Tavera. It is not at all a refined ride when compared to innova and xylo. The XYLO will be a VFM when compared to the Innova though Innova will have a better ride quality than the xylo. handling will be better in the innova. Xylo is more powerful when compared to the innova. The features that you get in the xylo are much more than the innova and the xylo comes cheaper as well. Have a look at this comparision. Do take a TD(with family) before you decide

i have got a quote of 871672 from NJB AUTOMOBILES near girgaun chowpatty. but on Carwale.com i got a On road price as 835000 why is this difference can u recommend some dealer who can give me a better price for XYLO..???

You stay in Thane. So better try for a dealer in Thane itself rather than going to Chowpatty. The price on carwale. I just checked carwale and I got an estimate of 8,96,926 for the E8 ABS in Mumbai. Which model did you try for?

i stay at pydhone but have a home and shop in new mumbai also, thane registration is cheaper tats why i opted for thane registraton, do you still think XYLO would be better then INNOVA i dont mind spend a cpl of lakh rs more but i found out innova on road price to be around 12 lac, i have seen Innova voted as best family car but its far more expensive then xylo and tavera...i really had finalised tavera b4 you told me not to... can u also please tell me major problems with tavera?

Hi Imran,

If you talk about a comfort ride and handling than Xylo will not be of any match to Innova.

As Xylo is more tall in height, the body roll and comfort is less.

If you can spend that extra money than stretch for Innova. Its worth it.

Surelly Xylo is more Valur for money, but in my opinion if you have money than go for Innova!

Iam using Innova for the last 42 months, have driven around 47000 kms.

Below is the link of my review for Innova.

Tavera does not have the ride quality of the Innova or the Xylo. Comfort wise the innova is the best followed by xylo and finally the tavera. The xylo is a VFM when compared to the innova but the innovas ride quality and comfort has not match at all. Toyota has got excellent engines to their credit. If you can stretch your budget to accomodate an Innova with the same features like the xylo X* or with a little compromise on features, then well and good, else the features that you get in a 9 lac top end model of the Xylo is not available in the innova for 10 lacs also. The one which has got features similar to the top end xylo is the 2.5 GX which is around 10 lacs ex showroom. So if you are able to accomodate this then it will be the best one to go for. As mentioned earlier take a TD and then decide

How about a Tata Safari the basic model is coming with an AC and will cost around 850000 is that as good as innova, tata is more valuable brand in india...

the ride quality of the innova cannot be match by even the safari or the scorpio. The safari would return a lesser FE as well when compared to the innova. if you need to seat 8 people and drive around then innova will be the best option followed by the xylo. better not to opt for SUVs like safari or scorpio. but if you still have any doubts then you could take a test drive of them as well
