The Mahindra XUV 3XO represents a significant upgrade over the XUV300, featuring modern amenities and a comfortable ride. Here are the strengths of the Mahindra XUV 3XO.
The 3XO offers a range of engine choices, including two petrol options: a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine with 111 PS and a more powerful 1.2-litre T-GDI mStallion unit delivering 130 PS. There is also a 1.5-litre diesel engine producing 116 PS of horsepower.
The XUV 3XO boasts a comprehensive list of modern features, including a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a digital instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, and advanced safety technology like Level 2 ADAS.
With the longest wheelbase of 2600 mm in its class, the XUV 3XO offers ample legroom and comfort for passengers. The cabin is equipped with six airbags, a 360-degree camera, and rear AC vents, enhancing overall comfort and safety.
Even though Mahindra has launched an updated version, there are still some reasons to avoid this compact SUV from Mahindra.
Despite the SUV's claimed boot space of 354 litres, the XUV 3XO continues the legacy of the XUV300 with compromised boot space due to its sub-4 metre design.
While the T-GDI petrol engine is impressive, its real-world mileage may fall short of the ARAI-certified mileage of 18-20 kmpl, making it less economical compared to the diesel variant, which is more fuel-efficient.
Despite comprehensive updates, the XUV 3XO is built on the same platform as the original XUV300, launched in 2019. Some interior elements and plastic materials may feel outdated, leaving room for improvement.
