The Mahindra XUV 3XO has officially pulled the wraps off the new XUV 3XO and prices for car start from Rs 7.49 lakh (ex-showroom).
The XUV 3XO is essentially the facelifted XUV300 and the car can be had in MX1 Pro, MX2 Pro, MX3, AX5, AX5L, AX7 and AX7L variants. Updates include a significant exterior overhaul, a refreshed cabin, a host of new features and an automatic transmission.
Mahindra XUV 3XO: Design
The XUV 3XO receives a considerable design overhaul to call it just a facelift, with a new gloss black grille flanked by a new pair of LED headlights with DRLs reminiscent of its older sibling, the XUV700.
There have been no modifications to the profile, save for the new 17-inch alloy wheels. Notably, it has the largest wheelbase of 2,600mm in its segment.
The rear is completely redesigned, with the 3XO now sporting a new set of linked LED tail lights. You get prominent ‘XUV 3XO’ badging, and the number plate housing is now located in the rear bumper.
Mahindra will offer the XUV 3XO in seven exterior colours: Citrine Yellow, Dune Dust, Nebula Blue, Deep Forest, Stealth Black, and Everest White. Dual-tone colour variants are also available on higher-end models.
Mahindra XUV 3XO: Powertrain
The engine options will remain the same and comprise a 110PS/200Nm 1.2-litre turbo-petrol, a 130PS/230Nm 1.2-litre T-GDI turbo-petrol, and a 117PS/300Nm 1.5-litre diesel.
All engines come standard with a 6-speed manual transmission, with an optional 6-speed AMT available for diesel engines and a new 6-speed torque converter for the turbo petrol.
Mahindra states the diesel powertrain with the AMT has an ARAI fuel efficiency of 21.2 kmpl.
Mahindra XUV 3XO: Interior and Features
The XUV 3XO gains a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, panoramic sunroof (segment-first), wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless phone charger for linked car technology, dual-zone climate control, ambient lighting, rear AC vents and a 7-speaker Harman/Kardon sound system.
The top variants get Level-2 ADAS, which includes lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking. Safety features include 6 airbags, all 4 disc brakes, ESP, 3-point seat belts and reminder for all seats, ISOFIX child seats, auto-hold, hill-start and hill descent assist.
The XUV 3XO will rival the likes of the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Kia Sonet, Renault Kiger and Nissan Magnite in the Indian market.
Should I buy the XUV 3X0?
The Mahindra XUV 3XO is the new product in the sub-4 metre SUV segment and it came with a blast as it boasts a plethora of features. The brand has added a lot of segment-first features to entice customers.
It offers 3 engine options to suit various kinds of buyers. If you seek a feature-loaded SUV with a turbo petrol or diesel engine the Mahindra XUV 3XO should be in your consideration. However, if you want more space and more comfort you can opt for the Maruti Suzuki Brezza but you have to compromise with performance as it comes with an NA petrol engine.
