In this story, we will explore how this variant of the Mahindra 3XO looks and what it offers, in 7 real-life images.

Front

The mid-spec AX5 variant of the Mahindra XUV 3XO looks identical to the variant just below, the the MX3 Pro, from the front. It features LED projector headlights and LED DRLs with LED turn indicators. However, unlike the higher-spec AX7 and AX7 L variants, it lacks front fog lamps. The rest of the details, such as the front bumper and silver-finished skid plate, remain unchanged.

Side

The AX5 variant of the 3XO starts to get roof rails and alloy wheels which are 16-inches in size. These alloy wheels resemble the design of those offered with the previously available XUV300.

Details like blacked out ORVMs (outside rear view mirror), black A and C-pillars, and body coloured door handles remain the same as seen with other higher-spec variants of the SUV.
