The highly anticipated XUV 3XO has finally seen the light of day in Mahindra which has long been in the sub-4 lakh segment which is very competitive. Introduced a few days ago, this new small SUV will offer an ideal combination of low price, high standards of safety, turbocharged engine and great fuel efficiency which will make it a good rival in the growing budget SUV segment in India. The XUV 3XO, priced at a minimum of ₹3.97 lakh (ex-showroom) will reinvent value and innovation in the minds of low-end customers with a desire to have everyday practicality and current technology.
A Powerhouse of Affordable Technology.
The XUV 3XO has already stirred one with its brilliant list of features into such a small package at such a low price. It has a 1.2 litre turbo petrol power train with 130PS and 230 Nm of torque with a promising fuel mileage of up to 23kmpl. It is a budget-friendly purchase, and it will help XUV 3XO to attract not only the really money-conscious families and urban travelers but also to be a smart purchase.
To increase its attractiveness, the SUV comes in a variety of transmission, including both manual and automatic, to suit different driving styles. It is a very small vehicle (3990mm long and 1821mm wide), thereby being easy to manoeuvre through the city traffic and narrow parking spaces, thus, making it a perfect urban companion.
Advanced Driving Assistance System.
Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) is one of the most important highlights of Mahindra XUV 3XO. Mahindra guarantees the safety features typically found in high-end SUVs such as forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, and lane-keeping assist.
This will introduce a new dimension of safety technology at the affordable price bracket, and the focus is on Mahindra providing its customers with safety through new and updated innovations. The XUV 3XO has six airbags, ABS with EBD and electronic stability control as well as a 360-degree camera system to provide a feature of full security in every trip along with ADAS.
Design and Comfort- Large on Space, Small on Price.
The XUV 3XO does not sacrifice its style and comfort even at a low price. It is a modern-designed car, with bold grille, smooth headlamps, and intelligent alloy wheels that provide the sporty feel. The cabin has an interior with soft touch dashboard, rear air conditioning vents and a roomy design that can accommodate five occupants.
The car has a touchscreen infotainment system that runs on smartphones, and current comforts such as wireless charging and cooled glovebox. The panoramic sunroof also promises to be the largest in its category and it brings an airy touch to the process of driving or riding in this small SUV.
Promises of Performance and Efficiency.
As Mahindra is concerned with the concept of turbocharged power, the engine of the XUV 3XO is intended both to be drove within the city and on the highway. Its lightweight construction and powerful turbo engine make sure that it has an estimated fuel economy of approximately 23 kmpl, which is uncommon to this segment, thus, it is an economical option in the long run.
Suspension and chassis of the car are adjusted to comfort and stability providing a comfortable ride on the roads in the city and country. Its reactive handling also makes it quite applicable to the urban population as well as those who have to explore the light off-road adventures.
Launch and Market Outlook
However, the Mahindra XUV 3XO will have to compete with other inexpensive SUVs such as Tata Punch EV and Kia Sonet, which will be launched later in the year probably during the festive season- when new cars are a favorite time to be launched. Its price of competitive nature, with the base model priced at only ₹3.97 lakh, makes it the cheapest Mahindra SUV and a market disrupter in the market.
To sum up, Mahindra XUV 3XO is not the ordinary compact SUV, it is a high-tech, safety-centered, fuel-saving, and affordable vehicle that can add value to both the first-time customers and those buying a new car in the city. Using Mahindra’s image of toughness and innovation, the XUV 3XO will be an intelligent versatile decision in the rising compact SUV market in India.
