Mahindra XUV 3XO Review : The history of Mahindra has mostly focused on establishing a platform establishing bulky and muscular SUVs for the Indian conditions. This time, however, they have definitely carried forward their product to an entirely different platform that has styling and technological features packed in. The latest in the lineup of bursts coming out of Mahindra is the Mahindra XUV 3XO, which is scheduled for launch in 2025. It is a powerful and bold SUV with respect to features, engine, and safety standards applicable to small cars. Most importantly, the XUV 3XO would be an appropriate option for those in search of an SUV accommodating a premium feel inside but not much in size.
Design And Exteriors
First impressions count when it comes to the overall design of Mahindra’s new XUV 3XO, quite brilliant. At the front are the new ‘Twin-Peak’ logo, lean LED headlamps, and a stylish grille. Picture strong lines on the body panels and wide arches, all of which add muscle to the general stance. The back of the vehicle is wrapped up with modernity in the form of connected taillights and a sculpted tailgate design. Overall, one has to agree; never has this XUV 3XO looked so stylish and aerodynamic.
Interiors And Comfort
The make-and-layout of the inside is a total revamp, as Mahindra has really gone to town on the insides. Surface and finishing materials have soft-touch surfaces and premium finishing, while the dual tone saturates the XUV 3XO interiors. A 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a digital instrument cluster open up yet more to that high-tech feel. The seating is large enough for rear passengers, described without question as above average. Highlights in the segment include a panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, and ventilation on seats.
Engine And Performance
The XUV 3XO gets two engine options: 1.2L turbo petrol and a 1.5L diesel. The turbo petrol makes 130 bhp and 230 Nm of torque, making it quite nice to drive in the city and on the highway. Comfortably coupled is a choice of a 6-speed manual or automatic. The strength of the drive is maintained and, very nicely, its suspension adapts to the worst Indian roads could throw at it.
Safety And Features
Mahindra has played the technological card, given that the new XUV 3XO addresses a feature list of ADAS, including Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Alert, Blind Spot Monitor, to name a few, to the driver. To the safety features of the SUV are added a 360° camera, six airbags, ESP, and ISOFIX mounts.
Price And Worth
The starting price of the Mahindra XUV 3XO ranges from ₹9 lakhs to ₹14.5 lakhs (ex-showroom). Head-on competitors in that price segment are the Nexon, Venue, and Brezza. As it’s said, from features to performance, you get value for your money with this SUV.
The Mahindra XUV 3XO is not a mere compact SUV; it is indicative of the future vision that Mahindra holds. The super premium looks it boasts in design go hand in hand with the powerful holds combined with very modern features, performance-wise. If you want an SUV built for the city and your friend on any long tour, you have to be looking at the XUV 3XO.
Smart on looks, strong on performance, and robust in security, this SUV is made for Indian roads.
Mahindra has indeed started writing a new chapter in the SUV with the XUV 3XO.
