2024 Mahindra XUV 3XO Gets First Price Hike: Here’s What’s New!
Since its launch in April 2024, the Mahindra XUV 3XO has seen steady sales and now faces its first price increase. Originally priced between ₹7.49 lakh and ₹15.49 lakh (ex-showroom), the price revision marks a shift in affordability, especially for the petrol variants.
Price Hike Details
Mahindra has hiked the price of the XUV 3XO across its nine variants. For petrol-powered variants, the prices have gone up by as much as ₹30,000, with the entry-level MX1 and the AX5 variants seeing the largest increases. Meanwhile, the diesel variants, including the MX2 Pro, MX3, and AX5 (both manual and AMT versions), face a uniform price increase of ₹10,000. Other variants remain unaffected by this change, placing the new base price of the XUV 3XO at ₹7.79 lakh (ex-showroom).
The model competes in the compact SUV segment, with rivals like the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, and others. This modest price adjustment aims to maintain the XUV 3XO’s competitive edge within this popular market.
Engine Specifications and Performance
The Mahindra XUV 3XO offers a range of engine options across its variants. The MX1, MX2 Pro, MX3, and AX5 trims are equipped with a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine, producing 111hp, paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.
For those opting for diesel, the model features a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine, generating 117hp, available with a 6-speed manual or AMT transmission. Higher-spec AX5L and above variants benefit from a more powerful 130hp, 1.2-litre turbo direct-injection petrol engine, paired with the same automatic or manual transmission options.
Enhanced Features Across Variants
In addition to its performance upgrades, the 2024 XUV 3XO boasts a range of advanced tech and comfort features, even at its new price point. The SUV includes a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with AdrenoX connected car technology, dual-zone climate control, panoramic sunroof, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a Harman/Kardon 7-speaker audio system for enhanced entertainment.
Additional highlights include a 65W Type C charging port, a 360-degree surround camera, rear AC vents, leatherette seating, ambient lighting, and more. This feature-rich offering ensures the XUV 3XO remains one of the most attractive options for tech-savvy buyers looking for a comprehensive driving experience.
Safety Features to Keep You Protected
Safety is a priority for Mahindra, and the XUV 3XO doesn’t fall short in this department. All variants come standard with six airbags, rear disc brakes, electronic stability control (ESC), and ISOFIX child seat anchors.
For higher trims, the SUV includes advanced safety technologies like a 360-degree camera, blind spot monitoring, hill-start and hill-descent control, an electronic parking brake with auto-hold, and Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). This is particularly noteworthy as Mahindra leads the segment with these safety features, outclassing competitors like the Kia Sonet and Hyundai Venue, which only offer Level 1 ADAS technology.
How Does It Compare to Rivals?
In a crowded segment with popular models like the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Tata Nexon, and Hyundai Venue, the XUV 3XO manages to hold its own. It continues to offer a more tech-loaded experience, particularly with its advanced safety and comfort features. With Mahindra’s Level 2 ADAS systems and the same ESP technology and cameras as the larger XUV 700, the XUV 3XO offers premium features at a competitive price point.
However, with the recent price hike, Mahindra’s strategy seems geared toward maintaining this competitive edge while ensuring profitability as input costs rise. This slight increase is unlikely to deter customers who prioritise safety and cutting-edge technology in a compact SUV.
Still a Value-Driven Option
With the recent price adjustments, the Mahindra XUV 3XO remains a compelling option for those seeking a feature-rich, safe, and reliable SUV. Its engine versatility, advanced tech features, and safety innovations make it a standout in a competitive market. Although it faces increasing competition from rivals like the Brezza, Nexon, and Venue, its rich blend of features ensures that it will continue to perform well in terms of sales.
