Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.09L more for the XUV 7XO AX7L: airbags (7 against 6), level 2 (full suite) ADAS and 360° camera. The useful extras on top: hill descent control and touchscreen (12.3" against 10.1"). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Only the Mahindra XUV 7XO seats 7, worth knowing if you need the space
- The Compass swallows the most luggage at 438 litres
- Also on the XUV 7XO AX7L: blind spot monitor, Harman Kardon premium sound system, tri-screen cabin layout and ventilated front seats, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the XUV 7XO AX7L, you give up SOS call, which the Compass Longitude (O2) keeps
- Choose the Jeep Compass Longitude (O2) if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.09L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Mahindra XUV 7XO AX7L if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
