Review: Mahindra Xuv 3xo Is Really Great Value, But There Are A Few Niggles

Mahindra was not joking when it boldly proclaimed at the launch of its XUV 3XO that the new model was going to disrupt the compact SUV space.

Whereas its predecessor barely featured on the sales charts, the 3XO has been consistently notching up monthly sales in the region of 500 units.

With an eight-model range, priced from R254,999 to R404,999, its not hard to understand why, particularly given that all are well appointed for the money and a 1.2-litre turbopetrol engine, with 82kW and 200Nm, features as standard across the range.

I spent a week in the range-topping AX7 L auto, but having scanned the spec sheet, I really feel that the MX3 auto model, at R294,999, really hits the sweet spot in the range as it has most of what buyers are looking for in the segment, including a sunroof and wireless phone charging. But dont take my word for it - check out the detailed specs and find out which one suits you best in our launch article .

The 3XO also boasts sharp new looks. If it seems a little familiar to you its because the newcomer is in fact an extensive facelift of the previous XUV300.
