Mahindra & Mahindra is all set to launch the much-anticipated XUV 3XO in India today. While the SUV follows a new nomenclature, it is essentially a facelifted version of the popular XUV 300. Here, let’s quickly take a look at what to expect from this upcoming model that will look to enhance the competition in the compact SUV segment.

The XUV 3XO gets a significantly updated design over its predecessor. As seen in the teasers shared by the company, the SUV will feature a revamped front fascia featuring a redesigned front grille with chrome inserts, updated headlights and DRLs. On the rear end, a reworked tailgate will complete the look with a connected LED lamp - a feature increasingly becoming popular in the Indian car market. Other notable features include an integrated spoiler, high-mounted stop lamp and more. You can also expect newly designed 16-inch alloy wheels.

We can expect a new dashboard layout, taking design cues from the XUV 400 and featuring a free-standing 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system along with a fully-digital instrument cluster. In the teaser, you can also see three-spoke steering wheels with several switches. Other changes will include new upholstery options, a big dual-pane panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, a new 7-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, and more.
