Mahindra XUV 3XO price in Mumbai

I am planning to buy a new petrol automatic car with a budget of around Rs. 14 lakh, and my driving will be predominantly in the city. I have shortlisted the Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi AT and the Mahindra XUV 3XO RevX A. The XUV 3XO RevX A appeals to me because of its premium interior, features, and panoramic sunroof, while the Brezza stands out for its refinement and long-term reliability. Considering my usage and priorities, which one would you recommend?

Autocar India

The Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi AT would be the recommendation here, but with one important caveat.The Brezza's naturally aspirated petrol engine and torque-converter automatic make it one of the smoothest and most easy-going compact SUVs for city driving. It is also likely to be noticeably more fuel efficient than the Mahindra XUV 3XO RevX A in real-world conditions. Add Maruti's strong reliability record and lower ownership costs makes it a very compelling package.The 3XO RevX A, however, is the more exciting car to drive. Its turbo-petrol engine delivers stronger performance, and the overall driving experience feels more energetic and engaging. It also has the edge when it comes to cabin ambience, features and perceived premium feel, with highlights such as the panoramic sunroof and a more upmarket interior.The only thing to keep in mind is that the Brezza is expected to receive a facelift later this year. If you're leaning towards the Maruti and your purchase is not urgent, it may be worth waiting to see what updates the refreshed model brings.

Hi Autocar, I am planning to buy my first car. I am new to the car world and to driving, having only learned the basics for obtaining my licence. I also have some driving anxiety. I need a proper automatic car. I currently have two options: the XUV 3XO MX2 Pro AT and the Kylaq Classic Plus AT. The Classic Plus misses out on rear AC vents, so is that okay? My priorities are safety, reliability, hassle-free ownership, a 50:50 city-highway driving mix, the ability to comfortably seat three people in the rear on 40-50% of trips, good mileage, and a strict budget of up to Rs 12 lakh on-road.

Autocar India

Pick the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX2 Pro automatic. It stays within your Rs. 12 lakh on-road cap and will feel easiest for a new, nervous driver thanks to its smooth automatic, light controls and good visibility. It is also one of the safer small SUVs, and importantly for you, the back seat is wide enough for three people. The downside is that the 3XO is not very fuel-efficient as it's tuned for a peppy drive.The Skoda Kylaq Classic Plus automatic will also be within your budget and meet most of your needs, but for three adults at the rear, it would not be as spacious as the Mahindra. One small tip for confidence: pick a variant with a rear camera and drive a bit more with a learning school till you are competent enough to ensure your safety and that of others on the road too. Happy Motoring!

Which is the best option to buy a budget-friendly car? Which has adaptive cruise control and ESP? Please Suggest.

Autocar India

Get the Honda Amaze and opt for the top spec ZX variant, which is the most affordable ADAS-equipped car in India.The ADAS suite is a camera-based system that includes lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and blind-spot monitor, among others. Adaptive cruise control works well in stop-go conditions, and besides the ADAS, the Amaze is also a calm, easy drive in traffic, will give you good mileage, and you will benefit from Honda’s fuss-free ownership.If you want an SUV instead, consider the Mahindra XUV 3XO, which also offers an ADAS suite; bear in mind that fuel efficiency will not be as good as the Amaze. One thing to know: adaptive cruise is most useful on open highways. In messy city traffic, it will brake often, and you may switch it off.

Hello, I am looking to buy a diesel SUV in a strict budget of 16 lakhs and have currently down-selected the XUV 3XO and the Hyundai Venue. Actually, I am living in town, so I will drive it in town, or I will get it onto the highway a few times a month. I am confused about purchasing a car between these 2 which car do I need to purchase?

While both the Mahindra XUV 3XO and Hyundai Venue are competent compact SUVs, the Mahindra offers a more complete package for your budget. The diesel engine is strong and refined, making it well-suited to both town driving and highway trips. It also feels more spacious inside, especially in the rear seat, and offers a richer feature set for the money.The Venue's strengths lie in its proven ownership experience, widespread service network and easy-to-drive nature. However, it feels narrower inside and does not offer the same level of cabin space or overall value as the XUV 3XO.Since you will be using the car both in town and on highways a few times a month, the XUV 3XO's more powerful diesel engine, roomier cabin and better overall value give it an edge.However, if you are specifically considering an automatic diesel, the recommendation shifts towards the Hyundai Venue. The Venue uses a torque-converter automatic gearbox, which is smoother and more refined in everyday driving than the automated manual transmission (AMT) offered on the XUV 3XO diesel. For frequent stop-start driving, the Hyundai's gearbox delivers a noticeably better experience.

I want to upgrade my car from a Tata Tiago to an automatic SUV with good build quality and decent mileage. My budget is 12-14 lakhs. 90% city drive and 10% highway. Either petrol or hybrid. My annual running is 12000 km. Please suggest which automatic car I should buy as per my requirements.

Autocar India

The Skoda Kylaq Automatic would be the top recommendation for your requirements. Coming from a Tiago, the Kylaq will feel like a substantial upgrade in terms of performance, refinement, ride quality and overall sophistication. Its turbo-petrol engine paired with the automatic gearbox is smooth and responsive in city driving, while also being reasonably efficient for a compact SUV. Given that 90% of your usage is in the city, it strikes an excellent balance between ease of driving, comfort and fuel economy.The Mahindra XUV 3XO Automatic would be the second choice. It offers a more spacious cabin, especially for rear-seat passengers, and comes loaded with features. However, despite being roomier inside, it has a smaller boot than the Kylaq, and real-world fuel efficiency is unlikely to be quite as good.As for hybrids, there are currently no strong hybrid SUVs available within your Rs 12-14 lakh budget. Models such as the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder Hybrid and Maruti Grand Vitara Hybrid sit in a significantly higher price bracket.

I own a Hyundai Venue Turbo Petrol, which is driven around 4,000 km per year and is occasionally used by my parents. I have been considering to upgrade it, as I am tired of spending money on maintenance. The car has been problematic since its second year of ownership. I am currently considering the Kia Syros HTK (EX) manual and HTK+ (DCT). However, some automobile enthusiasts have advised me against buying a DCT if I am looking for a hassle-free ownership experience, especially since the car will mostly be driven in Delhi’s office-hour traffic and the overall running is quite low. Could you please suggest whether I should opt for the DCT, stick with a manual, or consider a diesel automatic instead? Alternatively, if there are better options within a budget of Rs. 15 lakh, I would be open to considering them. I can also wait if there are any promising new launches expected this year within my budget. I am not interested in an EV at the moment. Thanks in advance.

Given your low annual running and predominantly city use in Delhi, a diesel does not make sense. Modern diesels are happiest when regularly driven on longer runs, and with just 4,000km a year, the higher purchase cost and potential emission system issues are difficult to justify.As for DCTs, they have become far more reliable than early examples, but if the priority is a smooth, stress-free ownership experience in heavy urban traffic, a torque-converter automatic is still the safer bet. It is generally smoother at low speeds and better suited to constant stop-start driving.Rather than moving to a Syros DCT, it would be worth considering the Skoda Kylaq automatic or the Mahindra XUV 3XO automatic. Both use torque-converter gearboxes and offer a more relaxed driving experience in city conditions. The Kylaq feels particularly polished to drive, while the 3XO counters with a richer feature list and a more spacious cabin.If you like the Syros, the manual remains a sensible choice given your limited annual usage, but if an automatic is preferred, a torque-converter-equipped rival would be a better fit than a DCT.

I am confused between the Nexon, XUV 3XO, and Venue as my first car. My running is expected to be 1,000-1,200 km per month. My priorities are: 1) Performance, 2) Mileage and ownership cost, 3) Features, and 4) Rear-seat and boot space. Please advise and suggest the best-value variant as well. I am inclined towards an automatic gearbox. Should I look for the sedan as well? Is the Diesel option feasible for me if I want to keep my car for the next 5 years?

Of your three shortlisted SUVs, the Hyundai Venue 1.0 T-GDi makes the most sense as it's the best all-rounder in the segment. It's got a good blend of performance and efficiency, maintenance is relatively cheap and hassle-free, and there are loads of features on offer, even in mid-level variants. It offers a good mix of rear-seat space and boot volume, which are both big improvements on the last-gen Venue. If there's a downside, it's that its DCT automatic can be jerky in low-speed traffic, and needs to be driven with this in mind. The manual, meanwhile, has a light and smooth clutch and gearshift action, so consider it as well.The Mahindra XUV 3XO scores high on performance, with the strongest engine in the class, and it has great space inside the cabin. Its downside, however, is that boot space is not so great, and neither is fuel economy. The Tata Nexon is also a decent all-rounder, but in most areas, it can't quite keep up with the newer and more polished Venue. Overall, the Venue is the one we think you should go for.Diesel is certainly a feasible option if you plan to keep the car for 5 years, and the mileage will certainly be better. But these engines are nowhere near as refined or punchy as their petrol counterparts, and thanks to newer emissions mitigation technology, they're far more expensive to buy, and require extra maintenance to run. Thus, for your usage, and for a first car, we would stick to petrol.

Hi team, my budget is 12-13 lakh maximum for an automatic car, so it is easy to drive for both my wife and me in Hyderabad city traffic. I am a first-time car buyer and am feeling quite confused. My requirements are: good mileage, petrol engine, good boot space, rear-view camera, hill assist, and recent interiors. Kindly help.

Consider the Maruti Suzuki Fronx 1.0 turbo-petrol automatic in Zeta trim. In Hyderabad traffic, it is easy to drive, the steering is light, the automatic keeps stop-and-go stress low, and you get hill-hold and a clear rear camera that makes ramps and tight parking simple. It is a turbo-petrol and returns good mileage for daily use – expect roughly 10-11kpl in the city and 16kpl on the highway. The 308-litre boot takes airport bags and weekly shopping without fuss, and the cabin is well built and comfortable. Ground clearance is higher than that of a hatchback, so speed breakers and broken patches are less of a worry.Your budget should cover the Zeta automatic in Hyderabad, but if it feels like a stretch, the Fronx is also available with a naturally aspirated 1.2-litre engine and an AMT. This combo won’t have the highway performance of the turbo-petrol and the AMT shifts with a slight pause between gears, so it won’t be as seamless as the turbo's torque-converter automatic. However, it will deliver higher mileage, in the region of 13-14kpl in the city and 18kpl-plus on the highway.For a first-time buyer, Maruti’s reliability and stellar service network make the most sense. However, if you want an alternative, the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX3 turbo-petrol automatic is also a good choice. It has a more SUV-like presence, and the cabin feels more premium, but the boot is a bit smaller, and efficiency won’t be as good as the Fronx’s.Overall, the Fronx fits your needs best.

I am planning to buy a car. Should I opt for the Mahindra XUV 3XO 1.2L torque converter or the Kia Seltos 1.5L CVT? I mainly drive in the city with occasional highway trips. Please answer considering the following: mileage, which transmission is better (torque converter or CVT), service experience (Kia vs Mahindra), comfort, engine smoothness, and reliability of the CVT vs the torque converter, as well as the overall reliability of the cars.

Autocar India

Pick the Kia Seltos 1.5 CVT for mostly city use because it feels smoother in traffic, the 1.5 is very refined, and its economy will be more consistent when you crawl, stop and go. Kia’s service experience is generally quite good, too.In the real world, expect the Seltos CVT to do roughly 10-11 kpl in the city and 14-15 kpl on the highway if you drive gently. As a turbo, the Mahindra XUV 3XO auto can dip into single digits in stop-go traffic, although it can match the Seltos IVT's efficiency on open roads.The Kia Seltos is also the larger car, which will give you a more spacious cabin and boot, and a more premium in-cabin experience. Hence, between the two, the Seltos is the one to get.

Hey Autocar, hope you're doing great. I am planning to buy my first car, but I am confused about which one to choose. My budget is Rs. 15-16 lakh, and we are a family of three. My priorities are a proper automatic transmission and a fuss-free ownership experience. Mileage and maintenance costs are not major concerns. My usage will be split equally between city driving and highway travel (50:50). A feature-rich cabin or a premium interior would be a bonus, but it is not mandatory. Please guide me. Thank you in advance.

The Mahindra XUV 3XO with the 1.2 litre MPFi engine would be a good option for you. The car comes with a torque convertor automatic, which is the smoothest type of autobox to have. The powertrain is very refined, reliable and delivers good performance, though mileage is not as much as some rivals, but you have indicated this is not much of a concern for you. For your mixed city and highway use the 3XO will also do well as the ride and handling balance is good. You’ll feel a hint of firmness over potholes but there’s a very reassuring feeling to it like the car can take some abuse. On highways, the Mahindra car cruises with the stability of a larger vehicle and that’s a very good thing. If you can wait for three to four months, there is an updated Maruti Suzuki Brezza which would also serve your requirements well with a torque convertor automatic and a fuss free ownership thanks to a well setup and reliable dealer network.
