There are two variants in the local XUV 3XO line-up – the AX5L and AX7L.

The former offers 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, 10.25-inch touchscreen multimedia system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, six-speaker sound system, dual-zone climate control, electric park brake with auto-hold, keyless entry and push-button start, leather steering wheel and gear selector and black cloth upholstery.

Stepping up to the AX7L adds a black-painted contrast roof, 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, LED front fog lights, panoramic glass sunroof, seven-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, 65W USB-C charger, cooled glovebox, black synthetic leather upholstery, and synthetic leather on dashboard and door trims.

The entry-level XUV 3XO AX5L comes with black cloth upholstery, whereas the flagship AX7L comes with black synthetic leather upholstery.

All variants are powered by a 1.2-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine that produces 82kW of power and 200Nm of torque.

This is mated to an Aisin-sourced six-speed torque-converter automatic transmission with drive sent to the front wheels only.

The Mahindra XUV 3XO comes with five seats as standard.

Both front seats are manually adjustable and the rear bench can be folded in a 60:40 configuration.

Mahindra doesn't list an official 0-100km/h sprint time, though as an estimate it would take around 10 seconds.

It also doesn't list a top speed but it will travel at least 150km/h.

Claimed combined fuel consumption is 6.5L/100km, according to ADR 81/02 testing, and there’s a 42L fuel tank that requires a minimum of 91 RON unleaded petrol, though 95 RON premium unleaded is recommended.
