Mahindra XUV 3XO : Mahindra’s XUV 3XO has turned the compact SUV game on its head with aggressive pricing, powerful engines, segment-first features, and a 5-star safety rating.
Launched as the XUV300’s heavily reworked successor, it now ranges from around ₹7.28 lakh to ₹14.40 lakh (ex-showroom), undercutting many rivals while offering big-car tech like ADAS, panoramic sunroof, and a 360-degree camera.
Bold Design and Premium Cabin
The XUV 3XO gets a more muscular face with a new grille, sharper LED headlamps, C-shaped DRLs and a tougher bumper that visually widens the stance.
At the rear, connected LED tail-lamps, a reprofiled tailgate and new alloys give it a more modern, SUV-ish look than the XUV300.

Inside, Mahindra has gone far more upmarket with a dual-tone dashboard, soft-touch materials on the dash and door pads, and a new 10.25-inch floating touchscreen.
The all-digital instrument cluster, premium fabrics and cooled glovebox further help it feel like a segment-above product.
Engine Options and Real-World Performance
Buyers get three engine choices: a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol (about 112 hp, 200 Nm), a stronger 1.2-litre TGDi turbo-petrol (around 130 hp, 230 Nm) and a 1.5-litre diesel (around 117 hp, 300 Nm).
All three get a 6-speed manual; both petrols also offer a 6-speed torque-converter automatic, while the diesel can be had with a 6-speed AMT.
Mahindra claims up to about 20.6 kmpl for select diesel variants and roughly 18–20 kmpl for the turbo-petrols, depending on configuration.
In the real world, the strong low- and mid-range torque makes city driving easy and highway overtakes confident, with the TGDi motor being one of the most powerful in the class.
Features: From Panoramic Sunroof to ADAS
Top variants of the XUV 3XO pack a long list: 10.25-inch infotainment, fully digital cluster, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, wireless charger, push-button start, auto climate control, rear AC vents, and a 360-degree camera.
A large panoramic sunroof—claimed to be the biggest in the segment—adds a strong lifestyle appeal.
Higher trims also offer connected car tech, cruise control, cooled glovebox and advanced internet features for live navigation and remote car functions.
With multiple trims across MX, AX and REVX lines, Mahindra has spread features carefully so even mid variants feel well-kitted.
Safety: 5-Star Rating and ADAS Tech
The XUV 3XO proudly carries a 5-star Global NCAP rating, building on the already strong crash performance lineage of the XUV300.
Standard kit includes multiple airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, hill-hold, ISOFIX mounts and all-round parking sensors depending on variant.
On top trims, Mahindra offers Level-2 ADAS with features like forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist and adaptive cruise control.
A 360-degree camera with blind-view monitoring further boosts confidence in tight city spaces and while parking.
Pricing, Variants and Market Position
Ex-showroom prices start near ₹7.28 lakh for the MX1 base petrol and go up to about ₹14.40 lakh for the AX7 L Turbo AT top model.
Popular mid trims like AX5 and AX7 sit in the ₹10–12.5 lakh band, balancing features and value; waiting periods of around two months are common on high-demand variants.
With this structure, the XUV 3XO directly rivals the Maruti Brezza, Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue and Kia Sonet, often undercutting them while offering more power or more kit.

Mahindra is also readying a strong-hybrid version, expected by 2026, which will pair the existing 1.2 turbo-petrol with hybrid tech to further cut running costs.
Mahindra XUV 3XO How It Drives and Who It Suits
Early reviews praise the XUV 3XO’s planted ride, good high-speed stability and mature suspension tune that soaks up broken patches well.
The steering is light enough for city use yet feels reassuring on highways, and the diesel, in particular, is noted for its strong pulling power and efficiency.
