2024 Mahindra XUV 3XO Review : 8 Pros & 7 Cons

It gets a refreshed exterior, some changes to the interiors, quite a few feature additions and a new 6-speed Aisin-sourced automatic gearbox for its petrol engines.

Mahindra XUV 3XO Pros

• A truly premium crossover. Nice build, quality & refinement levels
• Cabin has enough space for 5. Quality-wise, the interior is more like a Hyundai
• Fantastic petrol & diesel engine line-up; they offer fast performance & good driveability
• Finally gets a smooth torque converter automatic with the turbo-petrol engines
• Wide variant spread ensures there's something for everyone
• A compliant ride with sorted road manners
• 5-star NCAP rating & kit. Level 2 ADAS, 6 airbags, ESP, ABS, all-wheel disc brakes, TPMS, seatbelt reminders for all & more
• Loaded to the gills with equipment (360-degree camera, big sunroof, drive modes, Harman Kardon audio system, wireless smartphone connectivity, auto headlamps & wipers etc.)

Mahindra XUV 3XO Cons

• The new edgy & outlandish design may not be to everyone's liking. Some love it, some don't. It is very polarizing
• Top-end variants are expensive. Not overpriced, but definitely higher than expected
• 295-liter boot is the smallest in the segment. There are cheaper hatchbacks that have a larger boot
• No proper diesel automatic option, just a jerky AMT which has no place in a premium crossover
• Light & disconnected steering is the biggest drawback in a competent handling package
• Mahindra's after-sales service quality is a hit or miss. Remains a gamble
• Some important features missing (ventilated seats, parcel tray, full-sized spare wheel, paddle shifters etc.)
