What owners and experts like about the Mahindra XUV 3XO

Rear seat space

Strongly positivebased on 9 reviews

“For the middle passenger as well, I think this is a nice place because you have a nice flat seat, you also get individual headrests, and you have three-point seat belts as well -- so three-abreast in the 3XO would be quite nice.”

Ride comfort

Strongly positivebased on 8 reviews

“its ride and handling balance is spot on, what further enhances ride comfort are its high-profile tires with 16-in alloys which absorb road shocks better than its higher variants which get 17-in alloys”

City drivability

Strongly positivebased on 11 reviews

“this is by the way torque converter gearbox, which is also like a very bulletproof kind of gearbox that doesn't sort of give away... it's not very jerky, it does feel quite the transmission smooth... it's just feels seamless”

Handling

Generally positivebased on 9 reviews

“The one thing that I really love about the SUV is its steering wheel's lightness, especially at low speeds -- at crawling speed when you want to park it is absolutely effort free.”

ADAS driver assistance

Generally positivebased on 5 reviews

“the ADAS functions work really well but again they're best thought of as an added safety net rather than something to rely completely on... the features work well enough on well-marked roads”

Parking camera & sensors

Generally positivebased on 5 reviews

“we parked both cars in the same spot in total darkness to find out which camera performs better in low light conditions, turns out the two reversing lights in the XUV 3xo brighten up the space better”

Where the Mahindra XUV 3XO falls short

Not every point below is a serious flaw. Some are mixed opinions where reviewers disagreed, and the label says which.

Touchscreen responsiveness

Strongly negativebased on 6 reviews

“when you turn on the car, it goes from reset to normal. Then you have to go here and enable all the modes... As soon as the vehicle is off, it goes back to normal... it has AC memory, but not infotainment memory”

Driving position

Strongly negativebased on 5 reviews

“the foot well is just too cramped, there's no space on the left side of the clutch to rest your feet”

Boot space

Generally negativebased on 9 reviews

“the SUV has the smaller boot and it also has the higher loading lip so loading heavy items can be a bit of a challenge”

Fit & finish

Generally negativebased on 8 reviews

“once or twice in the first [months] it happened, open the car and that rubber has detached... if you see towards the edges [it's] loose... and not just this but next to the door also”
