Mahindra & Mahindra has launched the XUV 3XO in India, an upgraded iteration of the XUV 300, with numerous improvements inside and out. It is priced at Rs. 7.49 lakh for the base variant while the top-spec trim costs Rs. 15.49 lakh (ex-showroom). The interior design of the Mahindra XUV 3XO closely resembles that of the XUV 400 electric SUV but with some distinct variations, such as added chrome accents.
The Mahindra XUV 3XO’s interior shares several key features with its electric counterpart, the XUV 400. It adopts a dual-tone black and white dashboard scheme accompanied by HVAC vents, a two-zone automatic climate control system, and a steering wheel design found in the e-SUV. The revamped interior of the Mahindra XUV 3XO represents a significant leap from the outdated cabin of the outgoing XUV 300.
This upgrade places the XUV 3XO on a competitive footing against other compact SUVs like the Tata Nexon, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, and others. Among the interior features, a notable addition is the panoramic sunroof, which sets it apart as the first in its segment.
