Mahindra XUV 3XO Launched at ₹7.49 Lakh

[Nairrk]

The facelift for the XUV300 has launched as the Mahindra XUV 3XO. Prices start at Rs 7.49 lakh for the entry-level XUV 3XO MX1 trim, and go up to Rs 15.49 lakh for the top-spec AX7L variant. Along with a design that’s inspired by Mahindra’s upcoming BE family of electric SUVs, the XUV 3XO gets a major update to its features list (compared to the outgoing XUV300), and also gets a new automatic option for one of the petrol engines.

Compared to the XUV300, the XUV 3XO has less than half the amount of variants – the total number of trims is down from 25 to 18 – and prices actually start Rs 50,000 lower. From the above table, one can see that XUV 3XO prices start lower than most compact SUV rivals. The top-spec variant, priced at Rs 15.49 lakh, is priced lower than the Kia Sonet (Rs 7.99 lakh-15.75 lakh) and Tata Nexon (Rs 8.15 lakh-15.80 lakh).

There are nine trim lines on offer – MX1, MX2, MX2 PRO, MX3, MX3 PRO, AX5, AX5 L, AX7 and AX7 L. It is interesting to note that the XUV 3XO automatic range starts as low as Rs 9.99 lakh, while the first XUV variant with a sunroof, the MX2 PRO, starts at Rs 8.99 lakh.

The updates include a more angular nose, new LED DRLs, and a revised front bumper and headlamp assembly. The compact SUV also sports a new two-part grille with a larger central air intake on the bumper. The rear has a redesigned and smoother-looking tailgate with a full-width LED light bar, and sleeker, C-shaped tail-lamps; the registration plate is now mounted on the rear bumper instead of on the tailgate. The XUV 3XO also gets a new set of alloy wheels finished in dark chrome, at least on the higher-spec trims.

Mahindra will offer the XUV 3XO in seven exterior colours including Citrine Yellow, Dune Dust, Nebula Blue, Deep Forest, Stealth Black and Everest White. Higher-spec PRO variants also get dual-tone colour options. Mahindra claims that the XUV 3XO has approach, and departure angles of 23.6 dgrees and 39.6 degrees, respectively, and a water wading depth of 350mm.

Mahindra XUV 3XO: interior, features
While the XUV 3XO’s cabin is quite similar to the XUV400 EV’s, from the dash design to the features list, the compact SUV gets even more safety kit and crature comforts. Other than the previously confirmed 10.25-inch infotainment screen and driver display, panoramic sunroof (940mm long and 870mm wide) and dual-zone climate control, the top-spec XUV 3XO AX7L PRO trim gets all-LED lighting, a seven-speaker Harman Kardon audio system with a 380W amplifier, the Adrenox Connect in-car connectivity suite, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 65W Type C charging port in the front, a wireless charger, rear AC vents, and a rear Type-C charger. Soft-touch materials have also been used on the dash for a more premium feel. Mahindra claims that boot space has also increased compared to the XUV300; it's up from 257 litres to 295 litres. 60:40 spliut-folding seats are standard.

All variants get safety features like 6 airbags, rear disc brakes, ESP (Mahindra says its the same one used in the XUV700), and ISOFIX anchors. Higher-spec versions get an electronic parking brake with auto-hold, hill-start and hill descent assist, a 360-degree camera, blind spot monitor and Level 2 ADAS (again, said to be borrowed from the XUV700), which is a segment-first; the Sonet and Venue both get Level 1, camera-based ADAS tech.

For entry-level MX1, MX2 PRO, MX3 and AX5 variants, Mahindra offers the 111hp, 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine with a 6-speed manual (ARAI-rated 18.89kpl fuel economy) and a 6-speed torque convertor (17.96kpl) option. The nearly all variants of the XUV 3XO get a 117hp, 1.5-litre diesel with 6-speed manual (20.6kpl) and 6-speed AMT (21.2kpl) options (priced about Rs 80,000 higher than the manual). Meanwhile, AX5L variants and higher are powered by the 131hp, 1.2-litre direct injection turbo-petrol unit, which is available with an Aisin-sourced 6-speed torque convertor automatic option (18.2kpl) and costs Rs 1.5 lakh more than its 6-speed manual counterpart (20.1kpl).

New TVC - Here comes the Mahindra XUV 3XO

I for one actually like this design . Clearly the master strokes of Bose on the Mahindra design department are beginning to take form. When the initial reveal happened, there was so much hue and cry "ugly face" "worst design" and so on and yet when the multiple photos from the media drives started pouring in , the comments started to mellow down in social media. Considering the limitations of this being not started from a clean slate and I heard that even the bonnet has been retained without sheet metal changes, this is a daring and fabulous job. The front exudes distinctive character rather than the usual "tubelight"from one end to other with no face designs that are dime a dozen in todays cars. This "tubelight" set up in modern designs make all the cars look similar and are so common among the chinese cars too. Thank you Bose for saving us from another tubelight on our roads.
The rear too, though it get the connected tail light treatment, gets nice detailing accents on the boot that hihglights the sun's light and the shadows. I have always felt Bose is a master at body panel accents around the lights and and the art of catching light in the body panels in a right way.I cant believe that a designer of Indian origin has risen up the ranks and is today standing shoulder to shoulder with the mighty ones from Italy and around the globe.Clearly he is inspired by British design of yore and the classic Italian cars of the past like the Lancia Delta and the Alfa Romea 156 and other great cars of that era where designs were distinctive.
Today if you paste a Hyundai logo on a modern BMW sedan , it will just look not out of place. And with designers getting inspired from yachts and mobile phones and what not, hmmm .
Mr.Pratap Bose .. take a bow.
