Both pickups come with the same 100 HP diesel engine and 250 Nm torque (1000–2500 rpm). So in power, there is no big winner. The engine sound, pickup feel and pulling strength looks nearly same when you load it and start driving. But the big point is the payload capacity.
- Xenon Yodha 1700 carries 1700 kg
- Yodha 2.0 carries 2000 kg
So Yodha 2.0 can take around 300 kg more, which is a big thing for regular transport work. If someone carries building material, vegetables, grocery crates, or hardware items daily, then extra load always saves money and trips.
Body Size, Warranty & Service: Almost Same Package
Both pickups offer a body size of 8.7 x 6 ft, which is enough for large cargo. Warranty is also same — 3 years or 3 lakh km, which is quite safe for long-term users.
The service interval is 20,000 km, meaning oil change and basic service after long use, so maintenance cost stays low.
Features like gear shift advisor and fuel economy switch are already given in the Xenon Yodha 1700, while Yodha 2.0 keeps things more simple with the same standard features.
Price Difference: Small but Matters to Buyers
- Xenon Yodha 1700 price starts from ₹9.2 lakh
- Yodha 2.0 starts from ₹9.56 lakh
The difference is not huge, but for many buyers who budget everything carefully, even small price jumps matter. So if someone wants a cheaper pickup with decent load, the 1700 model fits well. If someone wants more payload for business growth, then Yodha 2.0 becomes the smarter choice.
Bottom Line: Which Pickup Should You Pick?
If your work needs more load, like 2000 kg levels regularly, then Tata Yodha 2.0 is clearly the better option.
But if you want a lower price and your daily load stays around 1500–1700 kg, then Xenon Yodha 1700 also does the job nicely without much issues.
Both trucks are strong, reliable and known for low service cost, making them popular in India’s pickup trucks market.
