Mahindra and Mahindra has been steadily raising anticipation for the upcoming XUV 3XO, the much-awaited facelift of the popular XUV 300. Through a series of teasers, the Indian automaker has been gradually revealing the SUV’s features, and the latest one highlights an impressive audio experience.
Premium Sound System and Global Debut
The newest teaser confirms that the XUV 3XO will boast a superior sound system courtesy of Harman Kardon. This 7-speaker setup promises an immersive listening experience with a bass enhancer, 9-band equalizer, and four ambient sound modes, setting the XUV 3XO apart in the sub-4 meter SUV segment.
Scheduled for a global debut on April 29, 2024, the XUV 3XO will compete against established rivals like the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, and the upcoming Skoda’s sub-4 meter SUV.
Design Refresh Inspired by Mahindra’s BE Line-Up
While the overall silhouette of the XUV 3XO remains familiar, the design gets a significant refresh. Borrowing cues from Mahindra’s electric SUV range, the XUV 3XO features a redesigned front fascia with chrome-finished triangular grille embellishments flanked by updated headlamps and distinctive fang-shaped LED DRLs.
The aggressive look continues with a front skid plate housing fog lamps. The rear boasts a redesigned tailgate with connected LED taillights and a more prominent bumper. The “XUV 3XO” moniker sits proudly in the center, accompanied by Mahindra’s signature “Twin Peaks” logo. Newly designed 16-inch alloy wheels, an integrated roof spoiler, high-mounted stop lamp, and a shark fin antenna complete the revamped exterior.
Feature-Packed Interior with Panoramic Sunroof
Moving inside, the XUV 3XO adopts the modern dashboard layout from the Mahindra XUV 400 EV. A prominent feature is the free-standing touchscreen infotainment system, likely measuring 10.25 inches. The redesigned center console features a piano black and silver finish for a touch of sophistication. A fully digital instrument cluster complements the redesigned steering wheel, while new upholstery options are expected to elevate the cabin ambiance.
First-in-Segment Panoramic Sunroof and Advanced Technology
The XUV 3XO raises the bar in its segment by offering a first-in-class panoramic sunroof, perfect for enjoying open-air journeys. Dual-zone climate control ensures personalized comfort for all passengers. Feature highlights include wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity, Mahindra’s AdrenoX connected car technology, ventilated front seats for hot days, a wireless phone charger for added convenience, and automatic headlamps and wipers for enhanced safety.
Safety Features and Engine Options
Safety remains a priority, with the XUV 3XO expected to offer six airbags, all-four disc brakes, ISOFIX child seat mounts, traction control, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), front and rear parking sensors, and a 360-degree parking camera for a clear view around the vehicle.
Mechanically, the XUV 3XO retains the proven powertrains from the XUV 300. Buyers can choose from a 1.5-liter turbo diesel engine producing 115 horsepower and 300 Nm torque, a 1.2-liter turbo petrol engine delivering 110 horsepower and 200 Nm torque, and a sportier Turbosport variant with a 1.2-liter turbo petrol engine offering 130 horsepower and 230 Nm torque. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual or an AMT automatic gearbox.
With its feature-rich package, premium sound system, and modern design, the Mahindra XUV 3XO is poised to be a strong contender in the sub-4 meter SUV segment. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the official launch date.
