    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.

    Mahindra 3XO AX5 diesel, the car's robust build, confident looks draws my attention. I feel it's Not overdesigned but has a modern touch, that I really appreciate. 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. With GST2.0, it's on the road price has reduced greatly. Overall, its a dependable car that offers everything I needed under my budget.

    I like the Mahindra XUV 3XO because it is my first car. It was very special. On the short span driving the car I like the driving dynamics the confidence it gives in cursing speeds of 80-100. It is spacious for 5 people. Coming to the engine I always wanted to go for a NA engine but ended up getting 3 cylinder turbocharged unit I believe it is up upto how we maintain the car which decides the reliability. This engine is pretty powerful and puts a smile on the driver's face.

    Currently I am fond of XUV 3XO for my personal use. Have driven my relatives car and planning to buy it. On researching the right car, I felt I had to priorities few over many, so went with safety and performance. For the constraint budget I kept since I wanted something for few years, I found it to be almost a perfect package of my requirements.
