    Mahindra XUV 3XO (AX5 Petrol Automatic). I have a family of 5 members, and was looking for a more spacious car after driving a very old Hyundai i10 for a couple of years. I also wanted a car which is comparatively easy to handle and park in tight spaces (congested lanes of North Delhi). 3XO is a perfect option - spacious for 3 adults in rear seat, good legroom, and an engine with good power and torque (beating other cars from the same segment). Other good things include all the features which I wanted from my car - wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, sunroof, rear ac vents, height adjustable seat (I and my wife use the same car, and need to adjust the seat).

    I was never a car enthusiast even though i work in automotive field. Recently i had purchased a 3xo and upon usage i had learned to appreciate the product. Example i am in love with the way how the car feels planted while going on high speeds, how the ride feels smooth even when the road conditions are bad, the rush of adrenaline when the turbo kicks-in. With in 1 month of purchase i have driven it around 3500kms and i am starting to love my car and actually miss it whenever i am away, this feeling is really hard to describe.

This has essential features for my driving, like cruise control, amazing throttle response and really good torque from the diesel engine. It's compact for city driving and has wider rear seats that fits my needs as a family car. It's easy on pocket for long term with decent fuel efficiency and minimal maintenance.
