The Mahindra XUV 3XO has touched down in South Africa, armed with a generous list of standard features and keen pricing. Here’s how much you will pay for this stylish small crossover from India.
With an overall length of 3 990 mm and a wheelbase of 2 600 mm, the Mahindra XUV 3XO goes up against the likes of the Suzuki Fronx / Toyota Starlet Cross, Kia Sonet, Renault Kiger/Nissan Magnite and Hyundai Exter to name but a few. This segment is price sensitive and customers are craving value.

Mahindra is claiming its new SUV has quite the offroad skillset and with a ground clearance of 201 mm and a wading depth of 350 mm, it does sound promising.
Engine and Powertrain
The newcomer is powered by the brand’s mStallion turbocharged petrol 1.2-litre motor, which develops 82 kW and 200 Nm.
Interestingly, Mahindra is using the 0-60 kph as a performance metric and the claimed time for that is 4.6 seconds. Our testing gear has the ability to measure that too, and a vehicle in a similar ballpark is the Hyundai I20 N Line. We can then extrapolate that data and estimate the new Mahindra XUV3XO will go under 10 seconds to 100 kph, which we’ll test when the vehicle comes to our office.
Grade Walk/Trim Levels
Mahindra has structured its new baby SUV lineup with five trim levels, with customers able to choose between manual and automatic transmissions. The flagship is offered in automatic only.
In terms of safety, it is important to note all Mahindra XUV 3XO derivatives come with stability control and 6 airbags as standard equipment.
