Really, the serious business of MPV has grown much bigger than its size. Number of entrants and cut-throat price war made the condition more complicated. Here, we have listed down the best three of them. Presenting, the Renault Lodgy, Toyota Innova and Mahindra Xylo on a same platform against each other. Follow us to know what they speak when they are scaled in a line.
Dimension On dimensional note, it’s Innova that measure maximum in length, while Lodgy is the shortest of all but still offers largest wheelbase among the three. Now, we wonder how three can sit comfortably in the third row of Xylo, apparently due to its maximum width. Adding more to body roll, it’s the Xylo’s height which is extremely higher by any standards of Innova and Lodgy.
Engine In India, power matters a lot when an Indian spends around one million on its car. On paper, this is well understood by Mahindra. Xylo splurges maximum power, which in comparison to Innova is quite decent. Here, Lodgy gains the maximum benefit with regards to its output better than Toyota that too from a literally compact engine.

Fuel-Efficiency Fuel-efficiency, the most sought figures sometimes even before the price tag, has altogether a new story to tell. Due to smaller engine, Renault manages to clock the maximum marks followed by Xylo and Innova.

Price Only a few years old in India, Renault has studied how to position the cars hitting directly on the heart and mind of buyers with a soft touch.

Obviously, Mahindra has born from the genes of an Indian that translates better options and multiple choices to suit buyers of every pocket size in the country. Lastly, Toyota follows premium pricing but the interesting part is it concludes top-end variant at an eye watery price. Overview Hence, it’s tough to conclude a winner on paper, where Xylo sounds like a more pocket-friendly option, but Renault is also equally efficient in long run due to its maximum fuel-economy. Appropriately, Toyota fails on every impression, but it seems the driving ergonomics and built-quality of Innova has suited Indians the most. Well, we are speechless, and can deliver the verdict only after a test drive. Have your pick, and do let us know in the comments section below…
