My brother-in-law is planning to pick up a C-SUV and he is fixated on the Mahindra 3XO. We took a test drive today. He had fixed up the test drive timings. The car was brought home for a test drive. It was a black AX7 Petrol TDGi automatic.
I drove it for about 10 kms on the highway and a couple of kms inside the city. I'm amazed at the engine-gearbox combo. It is so well-mated. Slot it into D and remove the foot from the brake pedal and the car starts moving slowly. There was no lag that I could feel inside the city.
On the highway, it builds up speed too quickly and effortlessly. The turbo push that I feel in my diesel Brezza wasn't there, maybe I was babying the car. Overtaking was a breeze. There are so many gizmos in it.
He had chosen AX5L but now he is planning on AX7 as this variant misses out on ADAS and 360° camera (which is there in AX5L) but the interiors are great. AX7 also has front parking sensors which were very helpful in narrow lanes.
It is overall a great package and at around 16.2L, this is a much better package than Brezza ZXi+ AT. I recently drove Brezza ZXi+ AT and it can't hold a candle to 3XO.
