Mahindra XUV 3XO news

While the XUV 3XO impresses with its spacious cabin and modern-day features, the Kylaq makes a stronger case for those who prioritise performance and driving pleasure

Both the Dzire and XUV 3XO measure under 4 metres in length, but does the Maruti sedan fare better in Bharat NCAP crash tests than the Mahindra SUV? We find out

While the entire segment sales saw a month-on-month (MoM) decline of 7.5 percent, the XUV 3XO is the only model to post a monthly gain

The overall sales figures of the sub-4m SUVs saw a rise in March 2025 when compared to the February, with only two models witnessing a decline in sales

Mahindra XUV 3XO commands the highest average waiting period while Renault Kiger can be had immediately in 10 cities

The variants in question of both SUVs have a similar pricing under Rs 15 lakh (ex-showroom) and are loaded with features, but here’s which one you should buy

Out of the nine models on the list, only three SUVs managed to go past the 10,000-unit sales mark in February 2025 sales

Kia Sonet, Renault Kiger, and Nissan Magnite are readily available for delivery in some cities

The list is mainly dominated by Tata cars, including the Tiago, Tigor, Punch, and Altroz. Offerings from Citroen, MG, and Mahindra have also made it to the list

While the list is populated by multiple carmakers, Maruti dominates this list with half of the offerings belonging to the Indian carmakers portfolio
