Legendary Toyota Fortuner vs Mahindra XUV700

Common ground between a Mahindra XUV700 gasoline and a Toyota Fortuner Legendary diesel engine? Both these 7-seater SUVs have 200hp and to find out which is faster, we’ll pit them against each other in a 402.34m race.

The XUV700’s 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine automatically produces 200 hp and 380 Nm of torque; and its front wheels are driven by a 6-speed automatic transmission. Fortuner Legender’s 2.8-liter diesel engine produces 204 hp and 500 Nm of torque; and its 6-speed torque converter drives the rear wheels (in 4×2). So while Toyota has a clear advantage on paper, being the ladder-frame construction, it’s 333kg heavier than the monolithic XUV700.

In the second race, the XUV’s debut went much more smoothly and from the start it trailed big Toyota, taking the lead in 16.59 seconds – this time leading 1.12 seconds.

We race multiple times and only publish the fastest elapsed time. Elapsed time is the time it takes each car to cross the finish line. We do not consider reaction time as it can skew results due to human error. Our drag races are conducted on closed roads, in controlled environments and in expertly driven cars. We encourage you to drive safely and responsibly, and not to participate in racing activities on public roads.
