Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.20L more for the Urban Cruiser Hyryder V Hybrid: 360° camera, tyre pressure monitor and ventilated front seats. The useful extras on top: 8-way powered driver seat and auto climate (single zone). 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 XUV 7XO AX5 is the strongest of the two at 185 PS
- Also on the Urban Cruiser Hyryder V Hybrid: head-up display, auto headlamps, wireless phone charger and regenerative braking, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Urban Cruiser Hyryder V Hybrid, you give up tri-screen cabin layout, hill descent control and touchscreen (12.3" against 9"), which the XUV 7XO AX5 keeps
- Choose the Mahindra XUV 7XO AX5 if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.20L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder V Hybrid if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
