Mahindra XUV 3XO is a new SUV set to be launched on April 29, 2024. It is the successor to the Mahindra XUV 300 and is expected to be a major update over the outgoing model. Mahindra claims that the Mahindra XUV 3XO will set new standards in the segment, with better technology, design, and safety features.
Disclaimer: Since the car hasn’t launched yet, these are based on expectations and leaks. Mahindra might reveal some surprises at the official launch.
Here’s what we know about the Mahindra XUV 3XO so far:
Design
- The Mahindra XUV 3XO will get a new design, which is expected to be more modern and stylish than the Mahindra XUV 300. A teaser video released by Mahindra shows that the SUV will get some upmarket features like ventilated seats and diamond-cut alloy wheels. It will also get a tail-light that stretches across the width of the tailgate, similar to the XUV700.
Technology
- Infotainment Paradise: The centerpiece is likely to be a large touchscreen infotainment system, offering intuitive control over audio, navigation, and vehicle settings. Expect smartphone connectivity via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless integration with your digital life.
- Digital Instrument Cluster: A digital instrument cluster is expected to replace the traditional analog dials. This high-resolution display will provide vital information like speed, RPM, fuel level, and trip data in a clear and customizable format.
- Adrenox Connect – Your Connected Car Hub: Mahindra’s Adrenox Connect suite is expected to be a key highlight. This connected car technology promises over 70 features, including remote vehicle monitoring, location tracking, geo-fencing, and emergency assistance. You might even be able to control certain car functions like lock/unlock or climate control remotely through your smartphone.
- Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS): Safety takes a leap forward with the Mahindra XUV 3XO’s potential inclusion of Level 2 ADAS features. This could encompass technologies like Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), making your drives safer and less stressful.
- 360 Degree Surround View: Maneuvering in tight spaces becomes a breeze with a 3D surround view camera system. This feature provides a bird’s-eye view of your surroundings, eliminating blind spots and enhancing parking confidence.
- Harman Kardon Sound System: Indulge in a premium audio experience with a potential 7-speaker sound system by Harman Kardon. This could offer features like a bass enhancer, equalizer for sound customization, and ambient sound modes to create a truly immersive listening experience.
Safety
- Details yet to be revealed by Mahindra
- Anticipation for all the latest safety features, including:
- Multiple airbags
- Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD)
- Traction control
- Airbags: Multiple airbags (possibly including front, side, and curtain airbags) are likely to be standard for enhanced occupant protection in case of a collision.
- Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD): This system prevents wheel lock-up during hard braking, allowing for better control and stopping power, particularly on slippery surfaces.
- Traction Control System (TCS): This system helps maintain traction by preventing wheel spin during acceleration on loose surfaces like gravel or snow.
- Hill Hold Control (HHC): (potentially) This feature can be helpful when starting on an incline, preventing the vehicle from rolling backward.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC): (potentially) This system can help maintain vehicle stability during maneuvers or sudden changes in direction.
Engine
- Likely to retain the engine options from the Mahindra XUV 300:
- 1.2-litre Turbo-petrol Engine: This engine, likely to be the base option, could offer a good balance of power and fuel economy. Expect a potential output of around 110 PS and 200 Nm of torque.
- 1.5-litre Diesel Engine: This engine might cater to those seeking better torque and mileage for highway cruising. It could deliver an estimated power output of around 115 PS and 300 Nm of torque.
- 1.2-litre GDI Turbo-petrol Engine: A possibility is the inclusion of a more powerful 1.2-litre GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) turbo-petrol engine. This could offer a sportier driving experience with increased power and potentially improved fuel efficiency compared to the standard turbo-petrol unit.
- 1.5-litre diesel engine
Transmission
- 6-speed manual transmission expected as standard
- 6-speed AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) as an option for select engines
