Price Breakdown
The Mahindra XUV700 starts from $36,350 (our estimated RRP; the brand lists drive-away prices only) before on-road costs, while the Mitsubishi ASX opens at $37,740. Both land at the same RRP, so on-road costs and dealer deals become the real differentiator.
Once you factor in stamp duty, registration, CTP insurance, and dealer delivery, expect to add roughly 8-12% on top of the RRP depending on your state. That puts estimated driveaway prices in the ballpark of $39,985 and $41,514 respectively.
Over 5 years, the running costs favour the Mitsubishi ASX by roughly $2,710 in fuel alone.
