Mahindra has once again made headlines with the launch of the Mahindra XUV 3X0, a premium compact SUV built to impress both the heart and the mind. With fierce competition in the sub-4 meter SUV segment, Mahindra has stepped up by blending bold design, performance, practicality, and luxury features at an attractive price point. For Indian customers seeking value without compromising on style and comfort, the Mahindra XUV 3X0 is a compelling choice.
Striking Design with an Urban SUV Identity
The design of the Mahindra XUV 3X0 is a perfect mix of aggression and elegance. It sports a confident SUV stance while staying within the 3,995mm length limit to benefit from Indian tax regulations. Its bold front grille with vertical slats, C-shaped LED DRLs, and sculpted bumper create a commanding front profile.
From the side, sharp character lines, diamond-cut 17-inch alloy wheels, and a floating roof design give the SUV a sporty appearance. At the rear, the split LED tail lamps, black trim accents, and roof spoiler enhance the aesthetic appeal while subtly boosting aerodynamics.
Available in seven vibrant shades including dual-tone variants, the XUV 3X0 caters to style-conscious urban youth and family buyers alike.
Interior Comfort with a Premium Feel
Step inside the Mahindra XUV 3X0, and the interior surprises you with its upmarket feel. The dashboard features soft-touch materials, and the layout is clean and tech-forward. The centerpiece is a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system powered by Mahindra’s AdrenoX platform, offering wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and built-in navigation.
The all-digital instrument cluster complements the infotainment setup, while the flat-bottom leatherette steering wheel adds a sporty touch. Mahindra has retained physical controls for climate and essential functions, balancing technology with practicality.
Seating is another strong point. The front seats are well-cushioned for long drives, and the rear seats offer generous legroom, with a flat floor that improves comfort for the middle passenger. Rear AC vents, USB charging ports, a cooled glovebox, and a wireless charging pad enhance everyday usability.
Powerful Yet Efficient Engine Options
The Mahindra XUV 3X0 is available with three distinct powertrains:
- 1.2L Turbo Petrol: 110 HP, 200 Nm torque, 6MT/6AT
- 1.5L Diesel: 115 HP, 300 Nm torque, 6MT/6AT
- 1.2L Turbo Petrol Hybrid: 130 HP combined, 230 Nm torque, 6MT/6DCT
The petrol engines offer peppy performance ideal for city driving, while the diesel is a favorite for long-distance and high-mileage users. The new mild-hybrid variant comes with a 48V system that improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions without compromising power.
The SUV also features drive modes (Eco, City, Sport) and terrain modes for slippery or rough conditions. A 0-100 km/h time of under 10 seconds in the hybrid variant puts it ahead of most rivals in terms of acceleration.
Advanced Safety and Driver Assistance
Safety is a top priority in the New Mahindra XUV 3X0. It comes with up to six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, hill start assist, and ISOFIX child seat anchors. More impressively, the SUV includes segment-first ADAS features:
- Autonomous Emergency Braking
- Lane Keep Assist
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Driver Drowsiness Alert
A heads-up display and high-resolution 360-degree camera assist in safer and more confident driving, especially in tight city spaces.
Tech-Forward Experience
In addition to infotainment, the XUV 3X0 offers connected car tech through the MahindraRise app. Users can remotely lock/unlock, track vehicle location, set geofencing alerts, and schedule service appointments. Over-the-air (OTA) updates ensure the system stays current with new features and enhancements.
The SUV also includes an air purifier with AQI monitoring and dual-zone automatic climate control, which is especially beneficial for metro city dwellers dealing with pollution and extreme temperatures.
Ride, Handling, and Suspension
With its well-tuned suspension setup—MacPherson struts at the front and a twist beam at the rear—the Mahindra XUV 3X0 delivers a plush ride even on imperfect Indian roads. Steering feedback is precise, and the 180mm ground clearance makes it easy to tackle speed breakers and potholes.
Braking performance is strong, and the SUV remains composed even during emergency braking thanks to its progressive pedal feel.
Practicality and Boot Space
The XUV 3X0 offers 382 liters of boot space with a wide opening and flat floor. The 60:40 split rear seats and adjustable cargo floor add to its versatility. Other practical touches include large bottle holders, deep door pockets, and a cooled center armrest storage compartment.
Pricing and Variants
Mahindra has priced the XUV 3X0 aggressively, starting from under ₹9 lakh for the base petrol manual variant and going up to around ₹12.5 lakh for the top-end hybrid automatic model (ex-showroom). With this pricing, it offers a better feature-to-cost ratio compared to many of its segment rivals.
Final Verdict
The Mahindra XUV 3X0 is a game-changer in the compact SUV segment. It blends premium features, strong performance, modern safety tech, and bold design in a value-for-money package. Whether you’re a young urban professional, a small family, or a long-distance commuter, this SUV ticks almost every box.
If you’re looking for a modern compact SUV that delivers more than expected without breaking the bank, the Mahindra XUV 3X0 is undoubtedly worth a test drive.
