Mahindra XUV 3XO: Design And Colour Options

Mahindra has made some noticeable improvements as we saw in various teasers released previously. The updates include a new two-part grille, new LED DRLs, a sharper nose, and a revised front bumper and headlamp. At the rear, the tailgate with sleeker C-shaped lights and a full-width LED light bar, appears more elegant. A new set of alloy wheels with a dark chrome finish is available with higher-end variants.

The XUV 3XO comes with a vibrant colour palette having seven exterior shades including  Deep Forest, Everest White, Citrine Yellow, Nebula Blue, Stealth Black, and Dune Dust. Furthermore, the higher-end PRO trims also get dual-tone paint schemes.

While the interior remains similar to that of the XUV400 EV, the XUV 3XO gets added creature comforts and safety features. The feature list on the top-spec AX7L PRO includes a seven-speaker Harman Kardon audio system with a 380W amplifier, dual-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, a 10.25-inch infotainment screen and driver display, all-LED lighting, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Adrenox Connect in-car connectivity suite, rear AC vents, a wireless charger, a front 65W Type C charging port, a rear Type-C charger, 295 litres boot space, soft-touch materials on dash, and 60:40 split-folding seats.

In terms of safety, all the variants are equipped with ISOFIX anchors, six airbags, ESP, and rear disc brakes, while the higher-spec trims get a 360-degree camera, Level 2 ADAS, hill-start and hill descent assist, blind spot monitor, and an electronic parking brake with auto-hold.

Engine Specs And Performance

The entry-level MX1, MX2 PRO, MX3 and AX5 variants are equipped with the 111hp, 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque convertor. The former offers an ARAI-rated mileage of 18.89kmpl, while the latter provides 17.96kmpl.

While most of the variants of the XUV 3XO are powered by a 117hp, 1.5-litre diesel with 6-speed manual and AMT options, the AXL5L trims and higher are equipped with the 131hp, 1.2-litre direct injection turbo-petrol unit connected to a 6-speed torque convertor (automatic option) sourced from Aisin. This engine gives 18.2kmpl of mileage.
