Mahindra XUV 3XO : Mahindra has unveiled its highly anticipated compact SUV, the XUV 3XO, setting a new benchmark in the Indian automobile market. Designed to cater to the evolving preferences of modern buyers, this SUV combines bold aesthetics, cutting-edge technology, and unmatched value—all at a surprisingly competitive price.
Striking Design That Stands Out
The XUV 3XO makes a strong first impression with its aggressive front grille, sleek LED daytime running lights (DRLs), and sculpted bonnet. The LED headlamps and taillamps not only enhance visibility but also add a premium touch.
And praise be that dual-tone colour options and diamond-cut alloy wheels add more glitz to the look, lending it more upmarket feel than rivals. With its robust, yet stylish appearance, the SUV looks as at home in the city as it does off-road.
Premium Interiors; Panoramic Sunroof
The panoramic sunroof – a novelty on cars in this range – is one of the highlights of the XUV 3OO. This feature adds an open and kingly in-cabin feel for every seat.
Inside, the SUV boasts a dual-tone theme with soft-touch materials, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system (with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay), and an all-digital instrument cluster. Other premium touches include wireless charging, auto climate control, and leatherette seats, ensuring a comfortable and tech-savvy ride.
Futuristic Features for a Smart Driving Experience
Mahindra has packed the XUV 3XO with segment-leading technology, including:
- Level-2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) with lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and collision warning.
- Connected car tech via Mahindra’s AdrenoX platform.
- Three drive modes (Zip, Zap, Zoom) for varied driving conditions.
- Voice commands, push-button start, rear AC vents, and an air purifier for added convenience.
These features make the 3XO one of the most advanced compact SUVs in India.
Powerful and Efficient Engine Options
The XUV 3XO offers two engine choices:
- A 1.2L turbo-petrol (110 BHP) for smooth city drives.
- A 1.5L diesel (115 BHP) for better torque and highway efficiency.
Both engines are BS6-compliant and come with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed AMT. With an impressive mileage of 18.9 kmpl (petrol) and 21.2 kmpl (diesel), it ensures low running costs.
Top-Notch Safety for Peace of Mind
Safety is a priority, and the XUV 3XO delivers with:
- Six airbags
- ABS with EBD, ESC, and traction control
- Hill-start assist and a 360-degree camera
- High-strength steel body for enhanced crash protection
These features make it one of the safest compact SUVs in India.
Aggressive Pricing That Shakes the Segment
It will be offered in a range of premium trims, with an entry-level variant starting from only ₹7.49 lakh (ex-showroom) and a top-spec model retailing at ₹13.99 lakh. That makes it a compelling rival to the likes of the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, and Kia Sonet with more features and lesser price.
Final Verdict: A Complete Package
The Mahindra XUV 3XO -Redefined for the Compact SUV category. With a standout design, plush interiors, up-to-date tech, impressive performance and competitive pricing, it’s a very attractive proposition for buyers in the market for a kitted-out SUV under ` 15 lakh.
