Mahindra’s latest compact SUV, the Mahindra XUV 3XO, brings a bold transformation to the popular XUV300 lineup with a refreshed and aggressive front fascia, signature LED DRLs, and redesigned bumpers that make it stand out on the road. The styling leans heavily into Mahindra’s new design philosophy, blending muscular proportions with a futuristic light setup that gives it an SUV-like presence despite its compact footprint.
Aggressive New Styling with SUV Stance and LED Edge
The gloss black grille, diamond-cut alloy wheels, roof rails, and connected LED tail lamps give the XUV 3XO a premium and sporty feel. Its stance is taller and wider, and the cuts and creases along the body add a layer of ruggedness that appeals to young buyers and urban SUV seekers alike. With dual-tone color options and improved aerodynamics, the XUV 3XO makes a strong visual statement in the sub-compact segment.
Spacious Premium Cabin with Segment-First Tech and Comfort
Inside, the Mahindra XUV 3XO gets a massive overhaul with a much more upmarket dashboard design, soft-touch materials, and an improved layout. The highlight is the 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system paired with a fully digital instrument cluster, offering wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, connected car tech, and over-the-air updates. The cabin features a dual-tone theme with ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof (in top variants), and a flat-bottom steering wheel that enhances the sporty appeal. Rear seat comfort is improved with better cushioning, dedicated AC vents, USB Type-C charging, and a center armrest. Boot space is more usable now, and the overall fit and finish rival more expensive vehicles. With 31 category-leading features, including wireless charger, rear camera, push-button start, and voice assistant, the XUV 3XO aims to set new standards for the compact SUV interior experience.
Powerful Turbo Petrol & Diesel Engine Options with High Efficiency
The XUV 3XO is powered by Mahindra’s reliable range of engines including the 1.2L turbo-petrol (110PS), a 1.2L GDi turbo petrol (130PS), and a 1.5L diesel engine (117PS). These are mated to 6-speed manual, 6-speed AMT, and a newly introduced AISIN-sourced 6-speed torque converter automatic, offering smooth shifts and excellent drivability. The diesel variant offers excellent highway performance while the turbo petrols are tuned for city thrill and weekend adventures. In terms of mileage, Mahindra claims up to 20.1 kmpl depending on the variant, which is class-leading for this segment. The suspension is tuned for comfort and stability, with light steering and refined NVH levels making the ride composed over bad roads. The XUV 3XO ensures that both performance enthusiasts and mileage-conscious buyers have something to look forward to.
Best-in-Class Safety with 6 Airbags and High Global NCAP Rating
The Mahindra XUV 3XO continues its legacy of safety by offering 6 airbags as standard from base to top variant, making it the only sub-4m SUV in the segment to do so. It also features Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Hill Hold Assist, All 4 Disc Brakes, TPMS, ISOFIX child seat mounts, rear parking sensors with camera, and high-speed alert systems. The SUV’s structure is reinforced to meet stringent crash norms and expected to retain its strong Global NCAP safety credentials. These features give peace of mind to family buyers and urban drivers who prioritize safety as much as style and performance. Mahindra’s focus on safety makes the XUV 3XO one of the most secure vehicles under ₹10 lakh in India.
Attractive Pricing with Feature-Loaded Variants for Every Buyer
The Mahindra XUV 3XO has been launched with a starting price of just ₹7.49 lakh (ex-showroom), making it the most value-for-money SUV in its class. The top-end AX7 L variant with all bells and whistles goes up to ₹13.99 lakh, still undercutting many rivals like the Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, and Kia Sonet when feature-to-price ratio is considered. With over 9 variants to choose from, multiple transmission options, and diesel-petrol flexibility, the XUV 3XO caters to city buyers, highway riders, and safety-conscious families alike. Its combination of style, substance, and Mahindra’s brand trust makes it a solid package for anyone upgrading from a hatchback or looking for their first stylish SUV.
