Tough yet tasteful—styling that strikes a balance

With its wide grille, sculpted bonnet, and LED lighting elements, the 3XO looks every bit a modern SUV. It ditches the dated cues of its predecessor and now carries a stronger road presence that’s hard to ignore.

Interior space and comfort that feel genuinely premium

Mahindra hasn’t just worked on the outside—the cabin now feels more mature, well-equipped, and thoughtfully laid out. Ample headroom, great seat support, and a clean layout make it comfortable for both city runs and highway hauls.

Turbo petrols and a proper torque converter—finally, real choice

The 3XO brings not one but two turbo-petrol options to the table in addition to the tried and tested diesel motor. More importantly, Mahindra offers a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, a far better alternative to the jerky AMTs that plague many rivals in this price band.

A feature-rich cabin with ADAS in a compact SUV—yes, really

360-degree camera, dual-zone climate control, panoramic sunroof, and even Level-2 ADAS tech—the 3XO punches way above its class when it comes to features. It’s not just loaded—it’s thoughtfully specced.

5-star safety with Mahindra’s proven build quality

Mahindra has always been big on safety, and the 3XO continues that legacy. It scored a full 5 stars in Bharat NCAP and backs it up with robust build quality. For those who value protection and peace of mind, it’s a solid choice—literally.
