Mahindra XUV 3XO – A bold SUV that walks the talk

The XUV 3XO isn’t just another facelift—it’s Mahindra’s attempt to redefine value in the sub-4m SUV space. With more tech, more powertrain choices, and proper SUV DNA, it brings substance to its style. Here’s why it deserves to be on your shortlist this year.

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.
