Mahindra XUV 3XO fuel efficiency compared with rivals
The Mahindra XUV 3XO's 1.5-litre diesel is its most fuel efficient engine option, returning an ARAI-certified mileage of 21.2kpl when had with the AMT gearbox and 20.06kpl with manual. However, Tata Nexon’s 1.5-litre diesel AT's 24.08kpl fuel efficiency figure makes it the most fuel efficient SUV in this comparison.
Meanwhile the Maruti Suzuki Fronx boasts the highest mileage figure (22.89kpl) for a petrol compact SUV. The Fronx-based Toyota Taisor has a marginally lower fuel efficiency figure of 22.8kpl for the 1.2-litre NA petrol engine with the manual gearbox, however, the figure is yet to be certified by ARAI.
