Mahindra 3XO – The People’s Champion
Mahindra’s new 3XO is designed to do more than just compete—it aims to out-think its rivals. Positioned in the compact SUV space, it combines clever packaging, premium features, and robust performance.
Design
With C-shaped DRLs, connected LED taillights, and well-proportioned alloys, the 3XO exudes confidence. It looks premium without overdoing it, striking a balance between sporty flair and everyday elegance.
Interiors & Features
Step inside, and the cabin impresses with space and equipment. It comfortably seats three at the back—rare in this class—and offers premium touches like a panoramic sunroof, Harman Kardon sound system, 10.25-inch infotainment, and even Level 2 ADAS. Few SUVs under ₹20 lakh feel this feature-rich.
Performance & Ride
The 1.2L TGDI petrol engine produces 130PS and up to 250Nm with overboost, making it among the strongest performers in its segment. Paired with a refined 6-speed automatic, it’s as comfortable in the city as it is on highways. Ride quality is commendable, soaking up rough roads without losing composure.
Shortcomings
Boot space (294 litres) and the absence of ventilated seats are notable misses, especially when rivals offer them.
Verdict
Smartly priced between ₹7.99 lakh and ₹15.8 lakh, the Mahindra 3XO is a compelling choice. Stylish, spacious, and loaded with features, it feels like a bigger SUV shrunk down for city life. A true people’s champion.
