Mahindra SA Hits Milestone 20,000 Pik Up Production
The Mahindra lineup of SUVs gets a lot of attention for a good reason. The Indian automaker has been making great strides in the SA market and continues pushing its products forward with new models. If you’re in the market for a well-balanced SUV, you are in for a treat. The much-awaited 2024 Mahindra XUV 3XO, a reimagined version of the XUV300, made its debut on South African roads at the end of September 2024. With this launch, South Africa is the first market outside of India to welcome the all-new Mahindra XUV 3XO.
With its refreshed design, cutting-edge technology, and robust powertrain options, Mahindra’s compact SUV is set to make a strong impression in a competitive market. Let’s explore what makes the XUV 3XO a game-changer and why it’s poised to become a favourite among South African drivers.
A Striking Facelift That Turns Heads
The XUV 3XO’s exterior design is a testament to Mahindra’s commitment to bold and innovative aesthetics. If you think the Mahindra XUV300’s aggressive stance is outstanding, the XUV 3XO takes it up a notch with a sharper, more refined look. The front fascia has been entirely reworked, featuring a sleeker grille and redesigned LED headlamps that provide a more modern and sophisticated appeal. The sportier bumper and the inclusion of 17” diamond-cut alloy wheels with a new design language only add to the SUV’s aggressive persona.
If you are an adventurous driver, you will be sure to make a statement on the road in your off-road trips as well as the urban landscape drives.
Enhanced Technology For The Modern Driver
The XUV 3XO will have significant interior upgrades, most notably in its dashboard and infotainment system. The centrepiece of the interior redesign is a larger, high-definition screen (10.25” digital cluster and 10.25” infotainment system) that integrates seamlessly with Mahindra’s updated infotainment suite. Music lovers and tech-savvy drivers will love the wireless charging, 65W USB-C charging point, and seamless connectivity with Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Plus, you can now enjoy your favourite tunes in quality sound thanks to the Harman Kardon premium audio system with an amplifier and subwoofer.
But what’s technology without comfort? The plush leatherette seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and soft-touch materials on the dashboard and door trims will make your long journeys feel like a first-class experience. Additional cutting-edge features include the largest-in-class SkyroofTM and a 360-degree surround view system with blind view monitor on the top-spec models.
Setting Standards In Safety And Performance
Safety and performance remain the core aspects of any SUV. Mahindra understands this too well to retain the high-performance powertrain options from the XUV300. The 1.2-litre turbo-petrol and the 1.5-litre diesel engines are known for their balance of power and efficiency. These engines deliver reliable performance across various terrains; your countryside adventures will be as good as your city drives.
Undoubtedly, the XUV 3XO is one of the safest options in its class. It’s expected to have advanced security features including 6 airbags, adaptive cruise control, new-generation electronic stability control, and other driver-assist systems, ensuring peace of mind for both the driver and passengers.
The Wait Is Over!
The 2024 Mahindra XUV 3XO is far off from a rebrand. It’s a complete reimagining of the SUV, bringing a fresh new vibe to the lineup. Mahindra promises to deliver a driving experience that blends style, technology, and safety, all while retaining the robust performance it’s known for. We’re hopeful that the XUV3XO will live up to its promise.
