Mahindra XUV 3XO : The sub-compact SUV segment is a battleground, but every once in a while, a new contender arrives that changes the game. The Mahindra XUV 3XO is that car. More than just a refreshed version of the XUV300, it’s a statement. With a design that demands attention, a cabin loaded with cutting-edge tech, and a performance that redefines the segment, the XUV 3XO has firmly established itself as a top choice for anyone seeking a no-compromise vehicle.
A Design That Stands Out from the Crowd
Mahindra has taken a bold step with the XUV 3XO’s design. The front fascia is a dramatic departure from its predecessor, featuring a new grille and C-shaped DRLs that give it a fierce, modern look. The connected LED taillamps at the rear are a particularly striking feature, giving the car a premium feel. While the styling might be a bit polarizing for some, it undeniably gives the XUV 3XO a unique and powerful road presence, ensuring it won’t blend into traffic.

Power, Performance, and Choice
Under the hood, the XUV 3XO offers a range of potent engine options to suit every driving style. You can choose from two turbo-petrol engines and a diesel engine. The star of the show is the 1.2-litre turbo-petrol TGDi engine, which produces a class-leading power output of 129 bhp and 230 Nm of torque. This translates to an exhilarating driving experience, with effortless acceleration and a truly engaging feel, whether you’re navigating city streets or cruising on the highway.
For those who prefer a diesel, the 1.5-litre engine offers excellent fuel efficiency and a strong low-end torque. The best part? All engine options come with both manual and automatic transmission choices, giving you the flexibility to choose what works best for your daily commute. The petrol automatic uses a 6-speed torque converter, while the diesel gets a 6-speed AMT (AutoSHIFT+), both engineered for smooth, responsive shifts.
A Tech-Loaded Interior That Puts You First
The interior of the XUV 3XO is where Mahindra truly shines. The cabin has been completely revamped, offering a more premium and sophisticated experience. The highlight is the twin 10.25-inch HD screens—one for the infotainment system and one for the all-digital instrument cluster—which feel like they belong in a much more expensive car. The infotainment system is slick, responsive, and comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
But the features don’t stop there. The XUV 3XO offers a long list of segment-first features, including:
- Level 2 ADAS: A suite of advanced safety and driver-assistance features like Forward Collision Warning, Lane Keep Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control.
- Panoramic Sunroof: The largest in its class, this “Skyroof” makes the cabin feel incredibly open and airy.
- Dual-Zone Climate Control: Allowing both the driver and front passenger to set their preferred temperature independently.
Other notable features include a Harman Kardon premium audio system, a 360-degree camera, and a wireless phone charger, making every drive comfortable and convenient.
