Mahindra XUV700 vs Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max 2025 comparison review: The best cut-price 7-seater is?

If you're in the market for a cut-price seven-seat family car, you're in luck as two new models have recently entered the Australian market, offering budget-conscious buyers more choice beyond the usual segment-straddling Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe, among other three-row SUVs. In one corner is India's Mahindra XUV700, and in the other is China's Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max. Both models are looking to establish a foothold in Aussie households, where they hope to take their respective brands into the mainstream. But the question is, which contender, if any, is the pick? In this expert comparison reviews, CarsGuide Journalist Chris Thompson compares the XUV700's AX7L flagship with the Tiggo 8 Pro Max's Elite variant to find out which seven-seater is the best overall. However, as he discovers, it's not that straight forward, with both models excelling in some categories but not others. #Mahindra #XUV700 #Chery #Tiggo8 #Review -- Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:43 Pricing and features 01:46 Design - Tiggo 8 Pro Max 02:54 Practicality - Tiggo 8 Pro Max 06:29 Design - XUV700 07:32 Practicality - XUV700 10:53 Boot space 11:27 Under the bonnet 12:09 Driving - Tiggo 8 Pro Max 15:16 Driving - XUV700 18:07 Efficiency 18:38 Safety 19:10 Ownership 19:59 Verdict -- Read Chris's full review: https://bit.ly/47fHHxZ Check out our Mahindra XUV700 hub: https://bit.ly/4dH95HE Check out our Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max hub: https://bit.ly/3WOARML Find more 7 Seaters: https://bit.ly/4dMBsUW Visit our Family Guide: https://bit.ly/3BS40vC -- CarsGuide - Go beyond the test drive Visit our website for News, Reviews, Advice and more: https://www.carsguide.com.au Subscribe to our YouTube channel:    / carsguide   Like our Facebook page:   / carsguide.australia   Follow our TikTok profile:   / carsguide.com.au   Follow our Instagram profile:   / carsguideaus   Follow our X profile: https://www.x.com/CarsGuide Follow our Threads profile: https://www.threads.net/@carsguideaus Follow our LinkedIn page:   / carsguide-com-au
