Unfortunately, you won’t get a Mahindra XUV 7XO automatic in your budget, and the most affordable variant is around Rs 20 lakh on road.
The Mahindra Thar Roxx MX3 petrol AT 2WD will fit in your budget, and if that’s the SUV you desire, you should go for it. You’re right in saying it has just the basic features, but that still includes a touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and many other creature comforts.
Plus, the combination of petrol engine and torque converter automatic is smooth and punchy – if a little heavy on fuel consumption.
