As the highly anticipated debut of the Mahindra XUV 3XO on April 29th draws near, the automaker continues to tempt its potential customers with fresh teasers, unveiling exciting details about the upcoming sub-compact SUV. The latest teasers for the XUV 3XO (facelifted XUV300) showcase exciting features such as the panoramic sunroof and a premium branded audio system, adding to the anticipation surrounding this release.

The Mahindra XUV 3XO will mark a milestone as India's first subcompact SUV to offer a panoramic sunroof. In contrast to its predecessor, the Mahindra XUV300 which only provided a single-pane sunroof. Presently, its contenders including the Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, and Maruti Brezza, are equipped solely with single-pane sunroofs, which positions the XUV 3XO uniquely in the market.

The latest teaser for the XUV 3XO also unveils its inclusion of an upgraded 7-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, elevating its premium features. In contrast, the XUV300 previously featured a 6-speaker sound system.

Connected Car Technology: AdrenoX

A previous teaser for the XUV 3XO also verified its inclusion of Mahindra’s AdrenoX connected car technology suite, initially introduced with the Mahindra XUV700. This suite enables drivers to pre-cool the cabin before entering the vehicle to offer particularly superior functionality during our intense summers.

Additional Expected Features

The XUV3XO is set to receive a comprehensive range of features including a fully digital 10.25-inch driver’s display, a wireless phone charger, and ventilated front seats. Its safety package is expected to include six airbags, an electronic parking brake, a 360-degree camera, and possibly several advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) features.

Powertrain Details 

The XUV 3XO may utilize identical engine and transmission options to those found in the current XUV300. Here are the specifications - 

However, there's a possibility that the current AMT transmission option might be substituted with a genuine torque converter automatic transmission.

Expected Pricing and Competitors

The Mahindra XUV 3XO is expected to come with a slight price increase compared to the outgoing XUV300, with starting prices expected from Rs 8 lakh (ex-showroom).

It will remain in competition with the Maruti Brezza, Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Renault Kiger, and Nissan Magnite. Additionally, the XUV 3XO will face off against the forthcoming Skoda sub-4m SUV in the Indian market.
