Feature Loaded

Mahindra equips the XUV 3XO with several segment-first features:

Massive panoramic sunroof for a more open and airy feel.
ADAS Level-2 system with front and rear radars for improved safety.
Dual-zone climate control for separate temperature control for driver and passenger.

Other exciting features include:

A new 10.25-inch touchscreen system with ADRENOX.
A 9-speaker Harman Kardon surround sound system with a subwoofer.
360-degree camera for easier parking.
Leatherette seats and soft-touch dashboard for a premium feel.

Inspired Design

The XUV 3XO borrows design cues from its bigger sibling, the XUV700:

Revised front bumper, new grille, and new LED headlamps with inverted LED DRLs.
Aggressive side profile with new 17-inch alloy wheels, the largest in its segment.
Connected LED taillights, revised boot, and new rear bumpers for a refreshed look.

Unchanged Engine Options

The XUV 3XO retains the existing engine options:

1.2-litre turbo petrol engine producing 109bhp & 200Nm of torque.
1.5-litre diesel engine producing 115bhp & 300Nm of torque.
Powerful 1.2-litre TGDi engine producing 129bhp and 230Nm of torque.

The 1.2-litre TGDi engine now gets a new 6-speed torque converter transmission option in addition to the manual transmission. With this transmission, the XUV 3XO promises to be one of the fastest SUVs in its segment, accelerating from 0 to 60 kmph in just 4.4 seconds!

Overall

The Mahindra XUV 3XO is a strong contender in the compact SUV segment. Its competitive pricing, feature-rich interior, and stylish design make it an attractive option for buyers. The powerful TGDi engine with the new automatic transmission is a highlight for performance enthusiasts.
