1. Mahindra XUV700 Review: This Is WAR! 

It comes as no surprise that the one video everyone had their eyes on was the Mahindra XUV700 as the most blockbuster arrival in India for 2021. As the title suggests, Mahindra really did declare war on all car makers in India on the eve of India’s 75th Independence Day with its latest offering. It boasts some serious arsenal thanks to a 10.25-inch dual screen setup, Alexa AI, ADAS suite of driver assists as well as 2-litre turbo-petrol and 2.2-litre diesel engine options from the Thar with more oomph. What really underlined its attacking appeal was its price range, starting at Rs 12 lakh (ex-showroom, India) that undercuts the XUV500 by a whopping 3.5 Lakhs and makes it significantly cheaper than its rivals. Sure, price is one key weapon, but there are more factors needed to win this war. So, what other tricks does the XUV700 have up its arsenal and will they guarantee a successful conquest? In this video, we find out if that is the case.

8. Jeep Compass Vs Hyundai Creta: Is It Worth The Rs 10 Lakh Jump?

The Jeep Compass received quite an upgrade with its recent midlife refresh to make it a more appealing offering. But that also meant an increase in prices. But is it really worth that dough when you can get a Hyundai Creta that is not really a rival, but is similar in space and as an overall package at Rs 10 lakh less?

9. Skoda Kushaq 1.0 vs 1.5: Must Watch Before You Buy! 

Those looking to buy a Skoda Kushaq have two turbo-petrol engines to choose from. One’s a 115PS 1-litre TSI unit, while the other is a bigger 1.5-litre TSI mill that’s got more grunt and a fancier automatic gearbox. But you’ll have to shell out more dough for the latter option. While on paper, the 1.5-litre TSI option wins out, our experience of the 1-litre TSI has been a positive one in smaller cars like the Polo, the Rapid and the Vento. So how much do the differences between the two Kushaq engine options matter in the real world and is it enough to warrant spending extra dosh on the 1.5-litre TSI motor? We put them to the test in this video.
