Mahindra XUV 3XO Review
With such aggressive pricing, the new Mahindra XUV 3XO undercuts most of its rivals, including the Tata Nexon. Interestingly, Tata Motors recently introduced new entry-level Smart+ variants of the Nexon, priced at Rs 8 lakh (petrol-MT), Rs 10 lakh (diesel-MT), and Smart+ S with diesel-manual combo at Rs 10.60 lakh.
To gain an edge over its rivals, Mahindra has equipped the new XUV 3XO with several first-in-segment features, such as a Level 2 ADAS suite, the largest panoramic sunroof in the segment, a 65W Type-C charging port, dual-zone climate control, an electronic parking brake with auto hold function, all four disc brakes as standard, and 17-inch alloy wheels.
Talking about the engines, the Mahindra XUV 3XO comes with two 1.2L turbo-petrol and a diesel option. The 1.2-litre petrol engine has been tuned for two different outputs: 109 bhp with 200 Nm and 129 bhp with 230 Nm. The diesel unit generates 115 bhp and 300 Nm. The subcompact SUV offers three gearbox options: a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed AMT, and a 6-speed torque converter automatic.
