Mahindra XUV 3XO Waiting Period Extends to 6 Months in India

As you might recall, Mahindra Auto recently launched the XUV 3XO facelift (formerly called the XUV300). On the day of launch, this homegrown sub-compact crossover SUV secured 50,000 bookings, and that too, in one hour, hence a significant milestone. 

The Mahindra XUV 3XO is offered in nine variants: MX1, MX2, MX2 Pro, MX3, MX3 Pro, AX5, AX5 Luxury, AX7, and AX7 Luxury. 

Interested prospects or those who have already booked this vehicle will have to wait up to six months for this vehicle. Please note that the waiting period may differ from dealer to dealer and region to region. 

Features

Since this vehicle competes with feature-loaded features, such as the Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Renault Kiger, etc., the XUV 3XO also has a long list of features. 

That said, the XUV 3XO is equipped with dual 10.25-inch displays (one for infotainment and another for digital instrument cluster), a dual-zone HVAC, a wireless charger, a segment-first panoramic sunroof, and connected car technology, and a dual-tone horn. 

Further, it has LED lights (front and rear), rain-sensing wipers, electric ORVMs, adjustable headlamps, leatherette upholstery, alloy wheels, and a cooled glove box, to name a few. 

On the safety front, this vehicle has a tyre pressure monitoring system, a 360-degree camera, an anti-glare IRVM, six airbags, a rear camera with guidelines, a speed-sensing door lock, and level-2 ADAS. 

The ADAS features comprise adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and adaptive high beam assist.

The 2024 Mahindra XUV 3XO has three engine options, plus all are turbocharged. The new 1.2-litre (TCMPFi) turbo-petrol unit produces 109.96bhp at 5000rpm and 200Nm of torque between 1500-3500rpm. 

Another is a 1.2-litre (TGDi) turbo-petrol engine that generates 128.73bhp at 5000rpm and 230Nm of torque between 1500-3750rpm. 

Lastly, there is a 1.5-litre (CRDe) turbo-diesel, which pumps out 109.96bhp at 3750rpm and 300Nm of torque between 1500-3750rpm. 

The XUV 3XO is available in both manual and automatic transmissions.
