Mahindra XUV 3XO: Mahindra has shaken up the sub-4M SUV segment with the launch of the all-new XUV 3XO. This highly anticipated SUV succeeds the popular XUV300 and promises to elevate the driving experience with its advanced features, powerful performance, and eye-catching design.
The XUV 3XO arrives with a competitive price tag, starting at an impressive Rs 7.49 lakh for the 1.2L mStallion TCMPFi MX1 MT variant. The TGDi range kicks off at Rs 11.99 lakh, while the diesel range starts at Rs 9.99 lakh (all prices ex-showroom).
With this aggressive pricing strategy, Mahindra has not only undercut its competitors but also its predecessor, the XUV300, offering customers an exceptional value proposition.
Mahindra XUV 3XO Design
The XUV 3XO showcases Mahindra’s new design philosophy, previously seen in its ‘Born Electric’ range. This platform is expected to serve as the foundation for the XUV400’s electric successor in the future.
The XUV 3XO boasts a striking front fascia with a new headlamp assembly featuring integrated C-shaped DRLs and bi-projector headlamps. A new front grille, front bumper, connected LED tail lamps, rear bumper, and rear spoiler contribute to its commanding road presence. With a ground clearance of 201 mm and a water-wading capability of up to 350 mm, this SUV is ready for any adventure.
Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by a refreshed dual-tone interior with soft-touch leatherette on the dashboard and door trims. Dual digital displays for the infotainment system and instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, rear AC vents, front dual climate control, a cooled glovebox, rear split seats, and a 364L boot space offer a truly premium experience. The Harman Kardon sound system adds an acoustic delight to every journey.

Under the hood, the XUV 3XO offers three engine options to cater to diverse preferences. The 1.2L mStallion TCMPFi turbo petrol engine produces 110 bhp and 200 Nm of torque, while the 1.2L mStallion TGDi turbo petrol engine delivers 128.73 bhp and 230 Nm of torque. For diesel enthusiasts, the 1.5L CRDe turbo diesel engine generates 115.05 bhp and an impressive 300 Nm of torque.
