Mahindra enthusiasts are abuzz with excitement as the company gears up to unveil the XUV 3XO. The Indian automobile giant has teased the upcoming SUV on multiple occasions – providing glimpses of what it would look like.
In essence, the XUV 3XO is the refreshed iteration of the popular XUV300 and is slated to launch globally on April 29, 2024. Set to debut under the #EverythingYouWant&More campaign, Mahindra aims to showcase how the XUV 3XO goes above and beyond the expectations of modern drivers. As the automaker puts it, brace for triple the excitement, thrill, and overall experience! It is poised to be a true standout and technologically advanced SUV in the sub-compact SUV segment.
Out With The Old Familiar Look Of The XUV300!
The XUV 3XO will flaunt a fiercer, more assertive appearance. Prominent design features consist of streamlined LED DRLs bordering vertically aligned projector headlamps, a commanding diamond-pattern grille, and chic alloy wheels available in two different tones. The teaser video hints at a dazzling yellow paint colour that adds an irresistible dose of youthful vibrancy into the mix.
For the interior, Mahindra has given the XUV 3XO a major design overhaul. Expected enhancements include:
- A free-standing 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- A redesigned central console
- Updated AC controls
- New 3-spoke steering wheel
Adding to the upmarket and plush look is a large panoramic sunroof, which Mahindra claims will be the largest in its segment.
Further, the modern SUV will feature an AdrenoX operating system, previously on the Mahindra XUV 700, automatic climate control, ventilated seats and a seven-speaker Harman Kardon sound system.
Mahindra XUV 3XO: Engine And Transmission
Under the hood, the XUV 3XO is likely to retain the XUV300‘s powertrain options – including the 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine, a more advanced 1.2-litre T-GDI turbo petrol engine and the 1.5-litre diesel option. These engines are designed to strike a balance between responsiveness and fuel efficiency, complemented by transmission options of a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic.
Safety-wise, the updated SUV will likely feature six airbags, an electronic parking brake, rear parking sensors, a 360-degree camera, and a few advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

With its refreshed design, feature-rich interior, and promise for top-notch driving experiences, it’s set to make a notable impression in its segment.
