The polarising design of the XUV 3XO may not be to everyone's taste.
The C-shaped LED DRLs provide a visual link to the larger XUV700.
The XUV700 has class-best 2600mm wheelbase.
The 17-inch alloys are the largest in the segment.
The headlights are split into two sections with a concealed projector unit up top, and an open projector fog lamp unit below.
The diamond pattern on the tail lamps is a very nice little details.
The full-width light bar connecting the tail lamps is limited to the top trim.
The rear bumper has a rugged look with a faux silver skid plate and some silver accents.
At the back, the sharply cut tail gate and a purposeful looking bumper give it a strong look.

The Mahindra XUV 3XO is big on flash visually. Giving the 3XO its distinctive face are the large, vertically oriented headlights outlined by C-shaped DRLs. The front bumper with its pronounced cuts and creases is very concept car-like and the contoured bonnet also does its bit to add volume to the design. The 3XO looks muscular in profile, and furthering the impression are the stylish new 17-inch diamond cut alloy wheels that are the largest in the segment. There’s also chunkier side cladding with cuts at the wheel arches. The 2,600mm wheelbase is class best, but the short overhangs, particularly at the back, tell you that this is a vehicle that's brutally shortened (remember it started life as a SsangYong Tivoli) to get length under the critical 4m mark, needed to qualify as a ‘small car’ and hence a lower rate of tax.
